Says PM Modi best positioned to help end conflict
Jammu, Mar 30: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday called for an immediate end to the ongoing West Asia conflict, stressing that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is uniquely positioned to facilitate peace.
Talking to reporters outside the Assembly complex in Jammu, CM Omar, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said, “I had mentioned in the House, that we want the war to end as soon as possible. The role that PM Modi can play, perhaps no one else can, because he has good relations with all these countries. Even knowing the challenges involved, a ceasefire should be declared and the conflict should be brought to an end here itself,” Omar said.
He highlighted the complexities of international diplomacy, citing Iran, Israel and the United States. “Even after knowing that reckless steps could be taken, no one has ruled Iran effectively for many years. Ending this conflict won’t be simple,” he said, adding, “We want the war to end. If any country can help achieve that, let it be. And if India can play a better role, we should take it.”
Referring to the BJP’s collaborations in Assam, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, he said, “These alliances will ultimately decide outcomes, including in Pondicherry.” (KNO)
