Abdullah’s remarks follow recent incidents, including an attack on an Army vehicle in Baramulla

National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah condemned Pakistan’s alleged role in escalating terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, urging the neighboring country to halt its actions and "seek friendship" to avoid future strife. 

Abdullah’s remarks follow recent incidents, including an attack on an Army vehicle in Baramulla that left four people dead and, days earlier, the killings of six construction workers and a doctor.

Abdullah reflected on the violence over the last three decades, emphasizing that Pakistan’s ongoing aggression would not yield the desired result of unifying Kashmir with Pakistan. Instead, he urged Pakistan to address its own internal issues and focus on fostering a peaceful relationship. 

Expressing condolences, he noted the impact of the attacks on the region's families, echoing a similar statement from his son, former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

Farooq Abdullah warned that continuing these actions would not sway Jammu and Kashmir towards Pakistan, calling on Islamabad to reconsider its approach for the sake of regional stability.
