Jammu: PDP President Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday favored the revival of sports relations between India and Pakistan, so that the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindor were later included after the recent incidents. He said that the clouds of war hanging in this region are not in favor of the country which are struggling with unemployment and poverty. The former Chief Minister told reporters here, “If you want to live peacefully and do not want to spend money on war, there should be sports events (between India and Pakistan). If we want to remove unemployment and poverty, then you have to normalize the situation and the game is the best bet in achieving this goal.” The terrorists hit Pahalgam Hill Resort on 22 April, killing 25 tourists and a local. In vengeance, the Indian armed forces hit a terrorist infrastructure on the border on 7 May under Operation Sindoor, causing a four -day military clashes between the two countries. He said that the Indo-Pakistan war is over, but the atmosphere is still prevalent in the country. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed credit to avoid nuclear war. Unfortunately, the BJP has created such an atmosphere in the country that all the parties are asking why the government went to the ceasefire with Pakistan, it said. “That is, the war should have been released. Look at the mindset. What is happening in our country? Why did you do this? And this is the BJP’s policy of that aggression. It has brought aggression among the people,” he said. “Now all sides in the opposition are forced because if they do not say anything like this, they will be dubbed anti-national. If no bomb says Pakistan, it will be considered anti-national, if no one supports cruel policies in Jammu and Kashmir, they are anti-national, “Mufti said. Claiming that the entire atmosphere in the country has been ruined, he said that it is compared to India today compared to a small country like Pakistan and this is because “the BJP has abandoned the policy of former Prime Minister AB VajPP and adopted the policy of (Mahatma Gandhi’s killer Nathu Ram),” Mufti said. He said that India could play a leadership role in South Asia, but the situation is that the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SARC) is being abducted by China because “we don’t talk to neighbors.” “We are sending our representatives all over the world. We wanted Pahalgam to be international, but no one talked about it and instead, Kashmir and ceasefire were talked to with Pakistan. What did Pakistan do in the war? The PDP leader said. He said that a new ideal was determined that whenever a terrorist attack took place, it would trigger the war. Mufti said that any country can take advantage of the situation by giving non-state actors “betel nut” (contract) so that there is a fight between India and Pakistan and they can sell their weapons. The US wants us to buy F35 fighter jets, Russia and Germany, while China is getting free from Pakistan’s cost, he said. “How can we overcome poverty and unemployment when we stay connected with Pakistan in war?” He said. The PDP chief said that connecting reconciliation and dialogue in any part of the world is the way ahead, but before negotiating with Pakistan, the government should talk with the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Putting 25 percent tariffs on India in the US, he alleged that the BJP -led government had failed in both domestic and foreign policy. “Diplomatically, we have failed … repeatedly, the US President talks about India. He is threatening. Why is he threatening? Because our country has completely surrendered to America and now its President is trampling us,” said Mufti. On the BJP leader Rahul Gandhi’s Election Commission (EC), in the BJP’s favor of vote theft, the PDP leader said that he was saying with evidence of how more than one crore voters were added in Maharashtra amid parliamentary and assembly elections. “The beauty of India is its democracy and if you start compromising on the election, what is left behind,” he said, alleging that the Jammu -Kashmir policy of the BJP has failed and the people of the country are fed up with Jammu and Kashmir “Risecies and War cries”. He refused to comment on Sadhvi Pragya’s comment against the Congress and accused her of worshiping Godse.
