Terror and talks can’t go together : Farooq’s clear message to Pak | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 21: Expressing his anguish over killing of seven innocent civilians in Gagangeer terror attack, National Conference president and former Chief Minister Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Monday said that dialogue with Pakistan is not possible until it stops terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir. Dr Abdullah emphasized that “terror and talks cannot go simultaneously.” He stressed that such attacks hinder efforts to improve Indo-Pak relations. Abdullah asserted, “Kashmir will not become Pakistan,” urging Pakistan’s leadership to end terrorism for better ties with India. He warned Pakistan that its actions would have “severe results” and emphasized India’s resolve to curb terrorism. National Conference President firmly declared that “Kashmir will never become Pakistan,” and warned that such an incident would deteriorate relations between two countries. Dr, Abdullah expressed deep sorrow over the incident. “It is a heartbreaking tragedy. Poor workers who came here to earn a livelihood to feed their families in different parts of the country were ruthlessly killed by these terrorists. One of the victims was also a doctor. What do these terrorists expect to achieve? Do they believe this will turn Kashmir into Pakistan?” he asked. He made it clear that no dialogue between India and Pakistan can occur as long as Pakistan continues to sponsor violence in Jammu and Kashmir. “How can there be talks when you are killing our innocent people”?, he questioned Pakistan and suggested that instead of importing terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir it should focus on solving the problem of poverty and hunger He further added, “If Pakistan truly desires friendship with India, they must end the violence. Kashmir will never be part of Pakistan. We want to live in peace, with dignity, and focus on development. How much longer will you bring misery to us? You began this in 1947, and after 75 years, Kashmir still hasn’t become Pakistan—so how do you think it will happen now?” The National Conference president admitted that said that such acts will definitely cast a shadow not only on tourism but on the lives of everyone living in Kashmir. The Gangangeer attack took place on a day when there were 2000 Athletes including 50 international Athletes in Srinagar. Yesterday, they took part in the first-ever Kashmir Marathon. |
