SRINAGAR, Jan 2: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and Member of Parliament Dr Farooq Abdullah on Monday said that it is sad that terrorism still exists in Jammu and Kashmir and innocent people were being killed.
Reacting on the incident of Rajouri where militants killed four people in a targeted attack on Sunday evening, Abdullah said it was sad that terrorism still exists in Jammu and Kashmir and innocent people belonging to any religion were being killed.
“This (terrorism) disease has now spread and it is the outcome of the hatred being spread in the whole country by vested interested people”, Farooq told media persons in Srinagar on Monday.“Hindu and Muslims are being separated from one another. Who is responsible for and who is spreading this hatred,” he asked.
“What was left in that Hindu family who were killed and to whom they were the enemies and those Kashmiri pandits who were killed in Shopian district of south Kashmir what was their fault”, he questioned.
He said that the Home Ministry of India should find a way to eradicate the menace of terrorism.
In a question he said that whosoever is doing this inhume act are taking the path of destruction.
“Nothing will come out of it, ” he said and added the boundaries will never be changed, rather the destruction and hatred would further increase… We have to find the way to distance this hatred from the country”, he added.
He said “today in Nainital Muslims are being shunned out of their homes and their houses are being ruined. Who is responsible for that? Tell me if the country would go forward with this hatred. Nobody is concerned about it”.
“Unless we think that India belongs to everybody’s religion, caste, creed or language he speaks and unless all come together the nation would never be settled and will never develop”, Farooq said.
Abdullah said that there would be fear among the people …to eradicate this fear everybody should have to work either in opposition or in the power..Everybody had to hold the rope together to save the country, he said.
