Srinagar: Farooq Abdullah expressed grave concern regarding the current state of tension between India and Pakistan, forewarning that it may very well escalate into something bigger. “We don't know what will happen tomorrow. Today, two countries are getting ready for a fight. Attempts are being made to ensure this doesn't happen and a solution can be found to catch the terrorists and those behind it."

The former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir praised Prime Minister Modi for his reaction to the attack but slammed Pakistan for escalating tensions, singling out the comments of Pakistan army chief General Asim Munir invoking the two-nation theory.

“There is no doubt that this was a matter of security and intelligence lapses. They wouldn't (Pakistan) have liked the fact that we were leading our lives very well... Propaganda was spread among our people as well... So, they (Pakistan) resorted to this (Pahalgam attack). But they didn't look at the fact that how it is going to affect the Muslims in India... A narrative has been going on for the last 10 years, to eliminate Muslims completely, to burn our Mosques...we were dealing with it already. Now, Pakistan army chief General Asim Munir provoked by speaking about two-nation theory...if war happens, it will come to the table, but what will happen on the table, only Allah knows,” news agency ANI quoted Abdullah as saying.

The JKNC leader, however, strongly took objection to the Indian government order asking Pakistan nationals in India to leave the country in the wake of the attack. “This action is not good. This is against humanity. Some people have been staying here for the last 70 years, some for 25 years… This is not right,” he said.
