Farooq Abdullah on Kashmir terror attacks: 'Unless we talk.. we cannot solve it'
New Delhi/IBNS: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah has once again proposed the idea of dialogue over military action in response to the three recent terror attacks in the valley.
Speaking to ANI, Abdullah said, "We still have problems with our neighbour. These problems will not be solved by military action... Unless we talk to our neighbours, we cannot solve it. The terrorists are coming through borders, and they will continue coming. Whichever government will be there tomorrow, will have to face the same thing... We need to come out of these situations...
"We have a major Yatra coming (Amarnath Yatra). Any small incident that might take place in that will be blown up in the rest of the country. We Kashmiris are not responsible for these things."
"We have never favoured these things..." On the Assembly elections, he says, "Elections will take place. The election took place for the Parliament also when the incidents took place. Elections cannot be prevented by this..," he added.
