Srinagar, Apr 15 (IBNS): National Conference Party President and senior Cabinet Minister in the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday said friendly relations and mutual bilateral cooperation between India and Pakistan was a must for lasting peace and sustained development in the sub-continent and especially in Jammu and Kashmir.

 

He  addressed public meetings at different places on Tuesday in Badgam district 25 kilometres away from Srinagar. 

Farooq Abdullah said it was state chief minister Omar Abdullah, who in the presence of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi , said the Kashmir issue was  political in nature and not an economic or governance-related problem and hence needed a  political initiative.

Abdullah said that Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah was one of the biggest advocates of Indo-Pak friendship and it was Sheikh Sahib who envisioned the opening of the Srinagar-Muzaffarbad Road and permanent economic and cultural exchanges between two side of the Line of Control. 

Farooq Abdullah said that various important Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) including the opening of the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad Road were fruits of sustained diplomatic engagement between New Delhi and Islamabad and Mufti Mohammad Sayeed had nothing to do in the conception or implementation of these historic steps to bring people of the two sides closer to each other.
