Calls for ‘de-escalation’ from Kashmir, Omar Abdullah says onus on Pakistan
As J&K Dy CM says “this shall be India’s last war with Pakistan”, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti and Mirwaiz ask both sides to work towards lowering tensions
A DAY after Pakistan launched cross-border drones targeting multiple places in Jammu and Kashmir, apart from other parts of the country, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Friday asked it to focus on “de-escalation” and said that the continuation of hostilities will only hurt the neighbouring country.
“The back-to-back cross-border attacks on Thursday night – first around 9 pm and then again at 4.30 am – clearly show an attempt by Pakistan to escalate. However, they will be the ones to suffer the most,’’ Abdullah said. “Pakistan gains nothing from this, nor will they succeed.”
India did not create the crisis, he added. “We had to respond as our people were attacked in Pahalgam and innocent civilians were killed.”
