Srinagar/IBNS-CMEDIA: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah has lashed out at Pakistan after a series of terror attacks in the valley over the last couple of weeks saying the union territory will never become a part of India’s hostile neighbour.
In an all-out attack on Pakistan, Abdullah, who heads the ruling National Conference, said, “The attacks won’t stop until a solution is found. I have been witnessing this situation for the last 30 years. Innocent people get killed. Kashmir will never become a part of Pakistan.”
“Terrorism is not stopping. We all know who carries out these attacks. They think these terror attacks will lead to the unification of Kashmir and Pakistan. They are having misconceptions. Kashmir had decided to remain in India in 1947. All Pakistan is doing is destroying itself and also dragging us down.”

Reminding the hostile neighbour of the consequences of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia, Abdullah, whose NC is in an alliance with the Congress, said Pakistan should be ready for the battle if they want it.
“If these attacks continue, there will be one day when a battle will start and nothing will remain. If Pakistan wants that, they should be ready for it. Pakistan should notice how Ukraine, Iran, Palestine are getting destroyed. Do they want themselves to be destroyed even more and turn poorer? They should stop the attacks,” the veteran politician said.
Abdullah made the remark a fortnight after 20 people were killed after terrorists opened fire at two Army trucks a few kilometers away from the tourist destination of Gulmarg.
Three soldiers were also killed.
On October 20, seven people were killed in a terrorist attack which took place at a construction site in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district.
The NC leader also said days after his son Omar Abdullah took oath as the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, where elections were held five years after the special status was withdrawn by the Modi government.
