Anantnag, June 28: Questioning India’s war capability, National Conference President and Member Parliament Farooq Abdullah today made sarcastic remarks on Ladakh stand-off and without naming China said they can’t fight them.
Addressing a small condolence gathering in Wanpoh area of South Kashmir’s Anantnag district, senior Abdullah said, “Now they are telling us to stock LPG for two months as they (India) have to fight a war. May Allah listen and they fight a war so that we can witness. They gnash at them (Pakistan) and avoid even eye contact with those (China),” he said, adding he was eager to see how many war planes India will shoot down.
“Let’s see how many warplanes they will shoot down,” Farooq said sarcastically. Asking people to remain steadfast on the path shown by Allah, Farooq said that the need of the hour was to trust Almighty’s power. “Muslims across the globe are suffering because we have deviated from Almighty’s path. We must shed our differences and work for unity,” he said. He highlighted the Quran (Holy book) in Islam and said that he got an opportunity to study it while he was in jail. Senior Abdullah also opposed the decision of opening wine shops in Kashmir and blamed India indirectly for encouraging drug addiction. He suggested greater unity among all political parties of Jammu and Kashmir. “I want unity for a purpose, not for the sake of elections,” he added.
Later talking to the media, Farooq Abdullah said that God puts human beings on trials and one must not worry. “God puts human beings on trials we must seek Allah’s mercy,” he said
On being asked about new domicile law, Farooq Abdullah said that it was unconstitutional and illegal. “National Conference stands against all that New Delhi has done here. Do you think I am going to accept it? It is unconstitutional and illegal,” he said.
On the China-India standoff in Ladakh, Farooq said that war wasn’t a solution and future will be dark if India-China or India and Pakistan will go for a war. He was in Anantnag to express sympathy with party leader and former legislator Abdul Majeed Larmi whose mother passed away on Friday. |
