Farooq Abdullah compelled the government to hold talks with Pakistan over a terror attack that happened in Srinagar.
New Delhi: Union Minister of parliamentary affairs Prahlad Joshi slammed Farooq Abdullah and asked him to settle in the neighboring country. This comment came a day after National Conference president Farooq Abdullah compelled the government to hold talks with Pakistan over a terror attack that happened in Srinagar.
“He has said many times that India should talk to Pakistan. If he likes Pakistan so much, then he should settle there,” Pralhad Joshi said, according to news agency ANI.
On Monday, Farooq Abdullah asked the government to hold talks with Pakistan and find a way to bring peace in Kashmir, following the terror attack which claimed the lives of three cops in Srinagar. The NC leader said both India and Pakistan should “shed their egos” and come forward for dialogue, according to news agency PTI.
In a veiled dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the NC leader also remarked that India needs a “bold” prime minister who can hold everybody together — be it Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, or anybody.
