JAMMU: Asking Pakistan to reign in terror for lasting peace in the region, National Conference President Farooq Abdullah today batted strongly for Indo-Pak dialogue to normalise relations between the neighbouring nations.
“Islamabad must rein in terror ranks for lasting peace in the region,” Abdullah said while addressing NC workers here.
“India and Pakistan had no option but to talk… Unless tackled, peace inimical elements will continue to cast shadow over normalisation process between the two neighbouring countries,” the former Union Minister said.
Emphasising on the need for carrying forward the dialogue process, he recalled the observations of former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, made on the banks of Kishen Ganga in Tangdhar, that friends can be changed, not neighbours.
The two nations, the National Conference President said, cannot wish away each other, therefore Islamabad and New Delhi must take ahead the current initiative. (AGENCIES)
