SRINAGAR : Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) vice president and MLC Ghulam Nabi Monga said that the war like situation was created by BJP for the election campaigns.
While speaking to News agency Press Trust of Kashmir Monga said “BJP is doing all this for their own benefit and they want to kill people and nothing else”.
Monga added, “BJP changes their stand 10 times in a day. In early morning BJP says something, in afternoon they say something else during the evening times they changed the whole story. People should not trust on such party”.
He added that Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan said yesterday that “we should solve issues through dialogues, central Govt should think about this” he said even some big countries also demand they India Pakistan should solve issues peacefully.
“Whatever is happening among these two countries only common men is suffering, and both countries lose everything”, he said.
He further added “We should look at the ground situation of both countries there will be nothing in war happen among these two countries”.
Yesterday Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan offered talks to India and urged that “better sense should prevail” as tensions spiked between the two nuclear-armed neighbours following an aerial engagement between their air forces.
Khan’s comments came after New Delhi said it shot down a Pakistan fighter jet in the aerial engagement between the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) but lost one of its MiG-21s, with its pilot in Pakistani custody.
Pakistan, however, announced earlier in the day that “it had shot down two Indian fighter planes on its soil, captured two pilots and carried out bombings in the neighboruring country while avoiding human loss and collateral damage”.
Pakistani military authorities later clarified that they were holding only one Indian pilot.
That pilot was identified as Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman. As Pakistan claimed to capture the pilot, a video was circulated by Pakistani accounts showing a man in uniform, blindfolded and wounded.
Prime Minister Imran Khan said in a televised address to the nation: “Our action was only intended to convey that if you can come into our country, we can do the same. Two of their MiGs were shot down… From here, it is imperative that we use our heads and act with wisdom.
“All wars are miscalculated, and no one knows where they lead to. World War I was supposed to end in weeks, it took six years. Similarly, the war on terrorism was not supposed to last 17 years.
“I ask India: With the weapons you have and the weapons we have, can we really afford a miscalculation? If this escalates, it will no longer be in my control or in (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi’s.
Major General Asif Ghafoor, Director General of the Pakistan Army’s media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), addressed a press conference earlier in the day and said “Pakistan wanted peace and India needs to understand war is a failure of policy.
“We do not want to escalate and follow a path which leads to peace. The people of both countries and region at large have a right to live and live in peace. War is not the solution to problems. India should think with a cool head on this offer from Pakistan,” he added. (PTK)
