Asks neighbouring country to end terrorism
Jammu, Nov 12: Reminding Pakistan that Kashmir was, is and will always remain India’s integral part, National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah on Thursday told the neighbouring country that nothing can be achieved through terrorism.
Talking to reporters here, Dr Farooq, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said, “I have always told Pakistan to put an end to terrorism. Nothing will come out of terrorism. Find a solution through talks. That is the only way a solution can be found.”
“Kashmir was, is and will always remain a part of India,” he said, asserting that violence could not resolve the issues between the two countries.
He said nothing could be achieved through violence and called for reviving South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) to bring regional countries together for resolving their differences. “Regional countries must come together, resolve their differences and work towards progress. We have to revive that SAARC again. We must all sit together, resolve our issues and move towards progress,” he said.
“Every day Pakistan is shouting Kashmir, Kashmir, Kashmir. They don’t know that what has happened has happened. But the issues will not be solved by violence,” Dr Farooq added.
Referring to the violence which Jammu and Kashmir witnessed, Dr Farooq said people should not forget the painful history of the region.
He also referred to international conflicts, including those involving Iran, the United States and Ukraine, to underline the destruction caused by wars and the need to resolve disputes through dialogue. (KNO)
