Farooq Abdullah, the head of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, met tourists in Pahalgam on Saturday and claimed Kashmir and will always be a part of India.
After the Pahalgam terror attack, talking to reporters, the biggest message is that tourists are “not afraid.”
“Those who wanted to spread fear have lost. They (terrorists) have lost. It has been proved today that we are not afraid. Kashmir was always a part of India. People want to end terrorism. It has been 35 years since we have seen terrorism; we want to move forward. We will become a superpower one day.”
