Advocating talks with Pakistan

Farooq Abdullah said that Nawaz Sharif is going to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan and they are saying that we are ready to talk with India, but what is the reason why we are not ready to talk? If we do not find a solution through dialogue, we will meet the same fate as Gaza and Palestine, which are being bombed by Israel.

Only Allah knows what will happen to us: Abdullah

Advocating talks between India and Pakistan, Abdullah said that if we remain friendly with our neighbours, both will progress. If we remain in enmity, we cannot move forward rapidly. If we do not resolve the issue through dialogue, then I am sorry to tell you that we too will face the same situation as is happening in Gaza and Palestine today. Where Israel is bombing. Anything can happen. Only Allah knows what will happen to us.

Terrorist incidents increased in Kashmir

Let us tell you that Farooq Abdullah is a big leader of Jammu and Kashmir and he has been the Chief Minister of the state. He has always been in favor of talks between India and Pakistan.
