SRINAGAR: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Sunday urged India and Pakistan to “imitate the spirit of the Kartarpur corridor” in Jammu and Kashmir by opening all routes across the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border (IB).
He said the initiative would not only help boost economic activities on both sides of the border, but also help rekindle the flame of friendship between India and Pakistan.
“The states topography afforded it a geographical dividend that ceased to persist post 1947. I urge the Governments of India and Pakistan to open the traditional routes between the two countries,” Abdullah said while addressing a gathering at Dewan Bagh Baramulla in north Kashmir. (AGENCIES)
