Jammu: A day after he asked Pakistan to rein in terrorists, Chief Minister Mufti Mohmmad Sayeed on Monday said the neighbouring country should be told to halt cross-border infiltration into Jammu and Kashmir as it was a prerequisite for peace.
“I want to tell everybody, that Pakistan, Pakistani Prime Minister and Pakistani establishment should be told that nobody should be allowed to cross into this side from that side. Then only there will be peace, otherwise not,”
After consultation with the Army his government will proceed with phased removal of Afspa, he said.
“Some areas will be de-notified from Disturbed Areas Act. By gradual process... I cannot do it in one go... but I will do it,” the CM told Legislative Council on the issue of revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act from Jammu and Kashmir.
