Farooq: LoC shelling not a one-sided affair

Jammu, February 25

Former Chief Minister and president of the National Conference (NC) Farooq Abdullah today reiterated his demand for effective steps to restore lasting peace on the borders. He observed that the on-going shelling on the Line of Control (LoC) was not a one-sided affair.

While demanding some steps for protecting the lives and property of the people living on the border, the NC leader said a decision in this regard had to be taken by the Prime Minister. “The Government of India must find a way forward and it is up to the Prime Minister to decide. I am too small to suggest any thing to him (PM),” said Farooq, when mediapersons asked him about his suggestions on the ways to establishing sustainable peace on the border.

The NC president also appealed to the Prime Minister of Pakistan to initiate some steps to end the bloodshed and destruction on the borders. — TNS
