Sixty-three civilians were killed and 183 others injured in 149 incidents of violence reported in Jammu and Kashmir during the first 20 days of Ramzan peace initiative of the Central Government, Rajya Sabha was told today.

All the terrorist outfits had rejected the peace initiative and reiterated their resolve to continue their terrorist activities, the Minister of State for Home Affairs, Vidyasagar Rao, said in a written reply.

The reactions of the international community had been by and large positive, he said, adding that Pakistan responded to the peace initiative by saying that their armed forces deployed along the Line of Control in the State would observe maximum restraint.
