National Conference president Farooq Abdullah has urged for a diplomatic resolution between India and Pakistan to halt persistent militant attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. His call comes in response to a recent deadly ambush in Gulmarg where two soldiers and two Army porters lost their lives.

Abdullah emphasized the futility of militancy, highlighting its ongoing impact over the last three decades and questioning the motives behind Pakistan's actions. He called on Pakistan to address its internal challenges instead of inciting trouble in the region.

Paying tribute to the victims, Abdullah also reflected on the recent democratic processes in the region and stressed the importance of cooperation between the Jammu and Kashmir administration and the central government for effective governance.
