Start of India-Pak friendly relation will resolve Kashmir issue on its own: Farooq Abdullah

Farooq Abdullah

Srinagar | Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah on Sunday claimed the beginning of friendly relations between India and Pakistan will automatically resolve the Kashmir issue on its own.

Speaking to reporters, Abdullah said,” I believe friendship between the 2 nations is most important for this state. The day friendly relations begin between the 2 nations, Kashmir issue will be resolved on its own.” He further added that the National Conference stands for all those paths which lead to Indo-Pak friendship.

Speaking on the reports of an alliance between National Conference, PDP and Congress for forming the government in Jammu and Kashmir, Abdullah said,”We didn’t want to form the government because we wanted to enjoy power, we wanted to protect all that which the Governor is doing now. We wanted to defend 35A, this govt was not going to sustain for long, it had to topple one day & elections had to be done.”

He further added that we were never hungry for power. PDP, NC&Congress have different paths but we came together. “Why? You see what condition J&K bank is in today. It would never have been the case had our government been there,” he added.

World’s Richest Man Elon Musk Buys Twitter For $44 Billion

Aleesha Sam

New York: Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, agreed to acquire Twitter for $44 billion on Monday, ending a drama that included hostile takeover threats before handing him personal control of one of the world’s most powerful social media networks.

Former US President Donald Trump used Twitter as a platform before being banned, and Musk, a self-described “free-speech absolutist,” has indicated he wants to overhaul what he regards as the platform’s overzealous content management.

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Musk said in a statement released by Twitter.”I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots and authenticating all humans.”

The publicly traded firm will now become a private company owned by Musk, who negotiated a purchase price of $54.20 per-share, Twitter said.

“Twitter has a purpose and relevance that impacts the entire world. Deeply proud of our teams and inspired by the work that has never been more important,” the company’s CEO Parag Agrawal said in a tweet.

Musk last week lined up around $46.5 billion in financing to make the purchase happen, and Dan Ives, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, predicted earlier in the day that since the board could not find another buyer, it would likely accept his offer.

“This basically put (their) back against the wall, they had to come to the negotiation table,” he said in an interview on CNBC.

On Wall Street, Twitter stock was trading 5.9 percent higher around 1915 GMT.
