"I request them (Pakistan) to respect the ceasefire. We also have guns and mortars. If we also start firing, where will this stop?" Omar told reporters on the sidelines of a function at Kashmir University here.
Omar said the intentions of people across the LoC do not seem to be good.
"When the ceasefire was going good, what is the need for violating it? Is it an attempt to increase infiltration or is part of attempts to internationalise the Kashmir issue as was done recently?" he asked.
He said only innocent people suffer due to the violation of ceasefire, "Three innocent persons were targeted without any reason."
