Members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) on Saturday staged a protest here condemning the violation of ceasefire by Pakistan along the international border.

Sandesh, a functionary of ABVP, said that Pakistani troupes were engaged in unprovoked firing for the past 15 days.

Many innocent civilians had died owing the firing. The Indian government though had taken up several diplomatic initiatives to ensure peaceful relationship with Pakistan, the latter had repeatedly violated the ceasefire.

It was palpable from these misadventures that Pakistan was not willing to have amicable relationship with India, he said.

He urged the Union government to give a fitting reply to Pakistan. The government should also take initiatives to instil confidence among security personnel who were guarding the border, he said. The protesters submitted a memorandum to Union Home Minister through the Deputy Commissioner.
