National \| Previous \| Next 'Non-extension of ceasefire will send a wrong signal' NEW DELHI, JAN. 21. The Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, Mr. Omar Abdullah, said the non-extension of ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir would ``send a wrong signal'' even as the Hurriyat Conference suggested that the truce be made a ``permanent feature.'' ``Cancellation of the ceasefire at this point would send a wrong signal which we don't want,'' Dr. Abdullah told Star News, adding ``it will be difficult not to renew the ceasefire.'' He, however, said there was a rise in the level of militancy targetting innocent civilians as also the attempt on the life of the Chief Minister, Dr. Farooq Abdullah. - PTI Send this article to Friends by E-Mail
