National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has urged Pakistan to ‘find a way of friendship’ after terrorists killed five including Indian Army soldiers on Thursday evening. The senior politician said such incidents would continue in Jammu and Kashmir unless a “proper solution” was found and the other country mended its ways.
“We are not going to become a part of Pakistan. So, why are they doing this? To disrupt our future? To make us poorer? They should look towards their country and the issues out there. They are getting ruined themselves but are ruining us as well. If they don’t find a way, the future will be very difficult,” he warned.
The NC chief warned that there would be ‘problems’ if the other country did not stop the violence and find a way to make ‘friends’ with India. He also apologised to the families of the victims and those who had been injured in various attacks.
“This will keep going on in the state and it won’t stop until we find a proper solution for this. We all know from where it comes. I have been seeing it for 30 years – innocents are killed,” he added.
