KOLKATA, July 27:
National Conference leader Omar Abdullah today said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan’s statement about improving ties with India “sounds good” but a lot would depend on his actions.
Khan, who is eyeing to form the Government in Pakistan, had said that his country was willing to improve its ties with India.
Abdullah, who is visiting the city, told reporters, “We have to wait for him (Imran Khan) to swear in … Let us give him some time.”
“In terms of what he (Khan) said yesterday of taking two steps for one step India takes, it sounds good. But a lot will depend on the action he is willing to take,” he said.
The cricketer-turned-politician’s party today emerged as the single largest in the Parliamentary polls held on Wednesday. It bagged 114 of the 270 seats and would require the support of smller parties or independents to form the Government.
On the tension at the Indo-Pak border, Abdullah said, “This is not a new development as per yesterday’s (Pakistan election result). We have seen tension in the border, tension on the Line of Control for the last couple of years now.”
He alleged that the BJP Government at the Centre had “numourous failures” and one of its biggest was Jammu and Kashmir. (PTI)
