“The nation wants such action to be taken … there are never attacks …”: Farooq Abdullah on the Pahgam attack
In view of the initiative terrorist attack, Farooq Abdullah, head of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC), on Monday strongly condemned Pakistan, emphasized the need for action, which prevents such attacks in future, questioning the effectiveness of previous measures.
Talking to the media, Farooq mentioned his previous advocacy to negotiate with Pakistan, highlighting the importance of understanding the value of humanity.
He criticized Pakistan’s actions, saying that he has “killed humanity” and India should not expect to compromise on its principles.
Abdullah said, “I used to favor a conversation with Pakistan every time. How will we respond to those who lost our loved ones? Will we be doing justice? No, Balkot, the nation should be taken such action today so that such attacks are never there,” Abdullah said.
Targeting Pakistan further, the JKNC chief emphasized the unity of India, rejected two-nation theory and saying that Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians are all one. He assured that India would give an answer to those responsible for the attack.
“We regret that today our neighbor does not understand that it has killed humanity. If we feel that we will go with Pakistan by doing so, we should clean their misconceptions. We did not go with them in 1947, so why would we still go? We had thrown two-national theory in water at that time.
Today, we are also not ready to accept two-nation theory. Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian, we are all one. We will give them an answer, ”said Farooq Abdullah.
Earlier today, Farooq participated in a special session in Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly to address the Pahalgam attack.
He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be questioned as to what “reply” to Pakistan is to be given to Pakistan in view of the terrorist attack in Pahgam in Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April.
Meanwhile, J&K Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Chaudhary made a proposal to condemn the Pahalgam terror attack and supported the diplomatic measures announced by the Central Government after the Cabinet Committee meeting on security.
The attack in Pahgam is one of the most deadly attacks in the valley since the 2019 Pulwama strike, killing 40 CRPF personnel. After the Pahalgam terror attack, India has taken strong measures against Pakistan to support cross-limit terrorism. (AI)
