Srinagar: Former chief minister Jammu and Kashmir Dr Farooq Abdullah Wednesday said that if the situation in Kashmir doesn’t change ‘people will get ready for Shahadat’ (martyrdom).
“Situation is bad and I must tell you if it doesn’t change yehan pai koi jagah nahi rahaegi jahan log shahadat dene ke liyai tayar nahi hojayengai,” Abdullah told reporters at SKICC where he was attending a function.
According to Abdullah Government should stop playing tricks and should restore autonomy.
While batting for dialogue he told reporters that, “nothing can be done without talking to Pakistan. Talking to Pakistan is must.”
Abdullah also said that the youth of Kashmir are seeing their ‘future dark due to tragedy inside our own nation’.
“War is no option, what have been created in seventy years will be wiped off. If you want to go to war, go. I ain’t stopping anyone,” Abdullah said, while adding that innocents are being killed.
Abdullah, when asked that how could dialogue be done in this atmosphere, he said, “When will you start it then, when the last bullet is fired.”
“We are fighting for our rights but its peacefull. Tourists can come,” he said.
On the rage created by Shahid Afridi’s tweet Abdullah said that the killings have been condemned by all.
“Autonomy should be restored to restore the confidence and honor of the people of jammu and Kashmir,” he reiterated.
