Farooq Abdullah’s Stern Message to Pakistan After J&K Attack: ‘Kashmir Pakistan Nahi Banega’

In the wake of a recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Gagangir, National Conference president Farooq Abdullah delivered a stern message to Pakistan, urging the neighboring country to cease spreading terrorism in India. Abdullah emphasized that Kashmir would never become part of Pakistan and warned of “very severe” consequences if Islamabad continued its support for terrorism.

Addressing Pakistan directly, Abdullah stated, “I want to tell the leadership in Pakistan that if they want good relations with India, they need to put an end to this. Kashmir Pakistan nahi banega (Kashmir will never become Pakistan). Let us live with dignity and succeed.”

He criticized Pakistan for its continuous efforts to destabilize the region, stressing that despite 75 years of attempts, Pakistan had failed to achieve its objectives in Kashmir.

Severe Consequences if Terrorism Continues

Farooq Abdullah issued a stark warning, stating that terrorism must be halted, or Pakistan would face dire consequences. “It is time to end terrorism, otherwise the results will be very severe… How will talks be held if they kill our innocent people?” he questioned.

The attack, which took place on Sunday at a tunnel construction site on the Srinagar-Leh national highway in Ganderbal district, claimed the lives of a doctor and six laborers. Abdullah condemned the attack, calling it “very unfortunate.” He expressed frustration over the senseless loss of lives, adding, “What will the terrorists get from this? Do they think they will be able to create a Pakistan here?”

At least two terrorists were involved in the assault, with two laborers killed instantly. Four others, along with a doctor, succumbed to their injuries later.

NIA Investigation Begins

In response to the incident, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrived in Kashmir to conduct a thorough investigation into the attack.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah also condemned the attack, calling it a “despicable act of cowardice.” Shah vowed that those responsible for the attack would face the harshest response from Indian security forces. “At this moment of immense grief, I extend my sincerest condolences to the families of the deceased,” he added.

Jammu and Kashmir’s newly appointed chief minister, Omar Abdullah, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express his sorrow and anger, calling the attack “dastardly and cowardly.” He extended his condolences to the families of the victims and strongly condemned the assault on innocent, unarmed people.
