Farooq Abdullah, the head of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, on Thursday criticized the Government of India directions for Pakistani citizens, which to leave the country after the Pahgam attack, to leave the country, it “inhuman” and “against the spirit of humanity”, especially in cases where individuals live peacefully in India for decades.
Speaking to the media, Abdullah expressed sympathy with the people living in India for the last 70 or 25 years. “This action is not good; it is against humanity.
Some people have been living here for the last 70 years, 25 years, their children are here, they have ever hurt India, instead they have sent themselves to India, ”Farooq said.
The JKNC chief also expressed concern over the increasing tension between India and Pakistan.
“We don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Today, two countries are getting ready for a fight. Efforts are being made to ensure that it does not happen and they (terrorists) and those behind it can be found a solution to catch them,” said Farooq Abdullah.

The ban on the stay of Pakistani citizens came after a terrorist attack in Pahgam in Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 tourists were killed.
