SRINAGAR: PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Friday called for political intervention to resolve issues between India and Pakistan, saying military action cannot be a solution to bring peace in the region.
Addressing a press conference here, she appealed the leadership of both the countries to exercise restraint and put an immediate halt to attacks on each other.
“Pulwama and Pahalgam are two such incidents that brought the two countries on the verge of a catastrophe. If it continues like this, then there is a danger to the whole world.
“Be it Kargil, Pulwama, Pahlagam or Pathankot, we have seen whenever there is a military action, it only treats symptoms, it does not treat the root cause of the problem. It doesn’t bring any solution and doesn’t help in maintaining permanent peace,” she said.
The former chief minister of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir said nothing can be achieved through military intervention.
