UDHAMPUR: Both India and Pakistan need to address the problem of terrorism like other countries which are coming closer to combat terrorism, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said today.
Talking to reporters here, she said, “Both India and Pakistan need to address the problem of terrorism and alienation of youth. If we keep fighting then this would pose a threat to our existence.”
Terming Muslim nations as the worst victims of terrorism, She said, “Nations across the world are coming closer, terrorism has emerged as the biggest challenge for all countries. Muslim nations are the worst victims of terrorism.”
Pitching strongly for peace initiatives, Mehbooba said that terrorism has emerged as the biggest threat and “the money being spent on animosity can be instead diverted towards good purpose”.
She lauded the resumption of peace talks between India and Pakistan.
“It is good that talks have resumed again. Terrorism is the biggest challenge for us. See what is happening in Syria, Libya and Pakistan. Western countries too have now such problems,” she said.
“I think it (terrorism) is a global phenomenon. It is not confined to a region or a country, it is now global. Pakistan is facing terror blasts and they are using drones to eliminate terrorists,” she said. (AGENCIES)
