01 Dec, 2008

Chief patron of National Conference, Dr Farooq Abdullah in occupied Kashmir on Sunday ruled out Pakistan's involvement in Mumbai incidents.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Dr Abdullah said, "It is not good to raise the allegations against Pakistan, moreover, how can Pakistan be involved in Mumbai terrorist attacks when Pakistan Foreign Minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, himself was on a three-day visit to India to discuss terrorism and other issues."
Dr Abdullah said that Pakistan is itself targeted by militancy and both India and Pakistan should unite to counter terrorism. He said that terrorism was a disease, which is spreading world-wide. He also advocated joint mechanism to fight militancy. Dr Abdullah added, 'This is not the time to blame each other, rather the time to root out the menace of terrorism across the world.'
