Sarna said the Government of India as well as the State Government are taking all steps necessary to restore law and order in this part of the country.
Qureshi on Monday said that Pakistan was "deeply concerned over the deteriorating situation in (Jammu and Kashmir) which is resulting in loss of life and property of the Kashmiri people. We call for immediate steps to end the violence against innocent Kashmiris." Qureshi had said it was "important that an enabling environment, free of violence, is created to sustain the peace process and address the long standing dispute of Jammu and Kashmir".
Earlier, in a separate statement, Sadiq expressed concern at reported attacks on the life and property of Muslims in Jammu and Kashmir and what it described as the community's "economic blockade by extremist elements".
This is the second time in five days that India reacted sharply to such comments emanating from Pakistan over the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Pakistan Senate last week passed a resolution which expressed concern over the reported "economic blockade imposed by Hindu extremists against the Muslims of Jammu and the valley of Kashmir".
India dubbed it as "gross interference" in its internal affairs and asked the Pakistani upper house of Parliament to rather focus on issues where it has a "locus standi".
