Srinagar : Amid escalating tension, former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday appealed to Prime Minister NarendraModi to choose dialogue to end hostilities.
Mehbooba said the devastating attack in Pahalgam has pushed India-Pakistan relation dangerously close to the edge of catastrophe. “The tragic loss of innocent lives including women and children on both sides is a stark and heartbreaking reminder of the human cost of conflict. With every passing moment of escalation, more lives hang in the balance. It is painfully clear that there can be no military solution only more suffering,” Mehbooba said in a post on X. “I urge the leadership of both India & Pakistan to exercise restraint and I especially appeal to the Prime Minister of India to choose dialogue to end hostilities. Now, more than ever peaceful co existence& engagement must serve as our only instrument. Only through sincere and sustained efforts can we deescalate tensions and begin the hard work of restoring peace,” she added.
