National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has condemned the recent terror attack in Gagangir, expressing his firm belief that Kashmir cannot become Pakistan. He called upon the leadership in Pakistan to halt terrorism if they wish to foster positive relations with India. Abdullah emphasised the need for the people of Jammu and Kashmir to live with dignity and succeed.

Speaking to reporters in Srinagar, Abdullah stated, "I want to tell the leadership in Pakistan that if they want good relations with India, they must put an end to these attacks. Kashmir cannot become Pakistan. Let us live with dignity and succeed. If they have been unable to create a Pakistan for 75 years, how can they expect to do so now? It is time to end terrorism; otherwise, the consequences will be severe. How can we hold talks if they continue to kill our innocent people?"
