Srinagar (J&K), December 26 (ANI): National Conference Leader and Member of Parliament Farooq Abdullah on December 26 spoke on the recent terrorist attacks in Kashmir’s Rajouri and Poonch. He asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to resolve issues with the neighbouring country of Pakistan through a dialogue. He said that if India failed to find a solution through dialogue, Kashmir will meet the same fate as Gaza. "Atal Bihari Vajpayee had said that we can change our friends but not our neighbours. If we remain friendly with our neighbours, both will progress. PM Modi also said that war is not an option now and the matters should be resolved through dialogue. Where is the dialogue? Nawaz Sharif is about to become the PM (of Pakistan) and they are saying that they are ready to talk (with India), but what is the reason why we are not ready to talk? If we do not find a solution through dialogue, we will meet the same fate as Gaza and Palestine, which are being bombed by Israel," said Farooq Abdullah.
