Srinagar, Feb 25: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah asked the Narendra Modi-led government to find a way forward to stop the bloodshed in the Valley. He also urged the same to Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. “Unless they find a way out, the people on both sides will suffer & many of our soldiers will also die. I think Govt of India must find a way forward. I’ll say the same to Pakistan’s PM. Time has come when this bloodshed must stop & peace must be restored,” he said.
His statement comes in the wake of dastardly terror attacks in last few days. Earlier in the day, a selection grade constable (SGCt) Kultar Singh was killed in Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir after terrorists opened fire upon him at Charari Sharief , where he was deployed for the protection of the shrine.
