Pune: Amidst escalating tension along the Indo-Pak border, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday said the ceasefire between the two countries must continue because its violation adversely affects the population of the militancy-affected state.

Abdullah, asked to react to the killing of two Indian soldiers along the Line of Control (LOC) with Pakistan, said "We have already condemned it strongly. We want the ceasefire between the two countries to continue because its violation affects the J and K population."

The ceasefire, which came into force in 2003, was also necessary to prevent infiltration into the state, he added.

Abdullah was talking to reporters on the sidelines of a "Students' Parliament" organised by Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT) here.

The level of tension along the border in Jammu and Kashmir has increased after Pakistani troops violated ceasefire continuously and also closed the gates for cross-LoC trade yesterday.

Pakistani troops intruded into Indian territory and killed two jawans earlier this week.

MAUNI BABA MANMOHANJI AND IN-EXPERIENCED MEMBER OF NEHRU FAMILY SONIYAJI YOU KNOW NOTHING OF POLITICAL GOVERNANCE. TO MANAGE FINANCE IS DIFFERENT FROM TO MANAGE MILITANCY. BETTER RESIGN FROM YOUR POSTS AND LET OTHER ABLE PERSONS TAKE-OVER THE POLITICAL LEADERSHIP OF GREAT INDIA. IT IS ADVISABLE TO LET MANMOHANSINGHJI BE RE-APPOINTED AS FINANCE MINISTER OR GOVERNER OF RESERVE BANK OF INDIA. PRESENT CONGRESS PARTY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHO IS ABLE IN A PARTICULAR FIELD. THEY ARE LIKE DUMB PEOPLE OBEYING UNFIT LEADERS` ORDERS. THERE IS NEED OF COURAGEOUS GROUP TO OPPOSE AND DIS-OBEY - TROW – AWAY SUCH UNFIT LEADERSHIP. HAVE A MILITANT SEARCH DRIVE THROUGH-OUT JAMMU & KASHMIR FOR A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS OR SO BY ARMED FORCES OF INDIA AND THEN SEE THE RESULT. DO NOT ALLOW OMAR O R FARUK ABDULLA TO INTERFERE IN IT. CENTRAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD DECLARE PRESIDENT`S RULE THERE AND THEN SEE THE RESULTS. IF YOU ARE HONEST LEADERS THEN HAVE GUTS TO FACE SUCH A SITUATION HEROICALLY.
