Pakistan’s former president’s statement condemned

The statement made by the Pakistan’s former president has brought about many comments from different parts of the nation.  

National Conference (NC) chief Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday condemned former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf over his statement in support of terror outfits, the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD), and termed it as ‘a tragic moment.’

“I feel sad that a man of his integrity, who has been the chief of the Pakistan Army as well as the president, has praised something like this. It is a tragic moment,” Abdullah told ANI.

He added, “Any terrorist outfit is going to destroy not only their country but every other country where terrorism is being promoted. I’m sorry if the ex-president of Pakistan thinks the LeT was going to protect Islam.”

He also called upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi to devise ways to initiate talks with the neighboring nation to combat the problem “which has been there for the last 70 years,” and suggested for both countries to forget the past.

“Time has come when the prime minister speaks that we have to find a solution which will be better. Time has come to start finding ways of talking with Pakistan and finding a solution which will be in the interest of people of Pakistan, India, and the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh,” Abdullah said, adding the people were paying the price for the rift between the two countries.

Abdullah further contended that “wars have not solved situations, nor have they given us any solutions.”
