Militancy in Kashmir won’t finish till the federal government wins the hearts of the individuals within the Valley and seeks an answer by speaking to Pakistan, National Conference president Farooq Abdullah stated on Wednesday.
Condemning the killing of a police officer by militants within the metropolis on Tuesday, he stated individuals will carry on dying until an answer to the Kashmir concern in discovered.
“The caravan of militancy will not end. Their (BJP) ministers and other leaders issue statements that it has ended, but I want to tell them that this will not end till you do not try to win the hearts of the people of Kashmir and seek its solution after talking to our neighbouring country,” Abdullah instructed reporters at social gathering headquarters ‘Nawa-i-Subah’ right here.
Abdullah, who’s the Lok Sabha MP from Srinagar, condemned the killing of assistant sub-inspector of police Mushtaq Ahmad within the Lal Bazar space of the town.
“His son was killed in 2020 by military (in an encounter). It is unfortunate that he (Ahmad) was killed by militants. We do not know who the killer is and who the saviour of the people here is. This is strange. We all condemn it and pray for him. We also pray for the family to bear this loss,” he stated.
The NC president sought a “handsome compensation” from the administration for the slain policeman’s household in order that they dwell with dignity.
Asked in regards to the state of affairs in Sri Lanka and whether or not one thing like that may occur in India, Abdullah stated “anything can happen”.
“God save us. We pray that we do not have to face such a situation. We also pray for the people of Sri Lanka that God take them out of these difficult times they are in. Also, may God let this government understand the situation so that they take steps to avoid it here,” he stated.
In response to a query on household planning, Abdullah stated whether or not the federal government targets a selected neighborhood or anybody else, it ought to perceive that India is a rustic with range.
“This is a various nation. Nothing is analogous between Tamil Nadu and Kashmir — not meals, not tradition, not language, not even climate — however what retains us collectively is that we now have to progress collectively, and take away poverty, illnesses and adversity.
“The biggest aim was unity of India. We have to make diversity stronger, then only will there be unity. If we try to break this diversity, then this country will fall into misery and it will be very difficult to take it out from there,” he added.
Abdullah took a dig on the administration for not permitting political events to pay homage to July 13, 1931 martyrs.
“It is unfortunate that they not only cancelled its holiday but also stopped people from paying their tributes. This is a huge mistake,” he stated.
Asked in regards to the controversy over the nationwide emblem, the NC president stated “all this will happen in slavery”.
“They can even run a road roller tomorrow. Pharaoh (an ancient ruler of Egypt) also did this. What had Pharaoh done? He persecuted people. But what happened then? So, let them do it, how much they want to. God is there and He will remain. He belongs to everyone and He is watching all this. A time will come and He will act,” Abdullah stated.
