Srinagar: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday said that nobody is in favour of war and that Pakistan needs to lower their guns as the prevailing situation was triggered by them by killing 26 people in Pahalgam.
The Chief Minister said that the present situation is an outcome of Pahalgam attack on April 22.
“We had to give a befitting reply. The central government had decided to attack the camps of those who devastated J&K for many years. It was decided to target the terror areas not military and civilian installations,” he said.
He added that Pakistan has now targeted the civilian areas. “We don’t want a war. We were living peacefully. It was started by them. We want to improve again, but Pakistan needs to silence their guns first,” he said. (KNO)
