"I pray to the Almighty that this ceasefire becomes a permanent thing as innocent people lose their lives and homes in case of a conflict," Mehbooba, who visited the persons displaced from border villages in Baramulla, told reporters.

"It takes time to deescalate. We should not be jumping and be the militant type over everything," she added when asked about violations within hours of the military understanding on Saturday.

It takes time to deescalate a situation when the armies of the two countries are eyeball to eyeball, she further said.
