The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Saturday urged the Union Government to continue with the “diplomatic and political” moves to defuse tension and eliminate “cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan” and hoped that there would not be any further escalation of conflict between the two countries in the near future.
The party’s general secretary, Sitaram Yechury, also urged Delhi to ensure the safety and security of the people from “cross-border terrorism”.
“We have been following the operation of the Indian Army. We hope that now, incidents like the one at Pathankot and the recent one at Uri will not recur. We feel that the government should ensure the safety and security of our people from cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan,” he told reporters in Kolkata.
“We hope that there is no further escalation of conflict henceforth. We urge upon the Government of India, from its position of strength, to continue with the diplomatic and political moves to defuse tension and eliminate the scorch of cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan,” Yechury said.
