Jammu: Wars between India and Pakistan did not solve any problem in the past nor would any conflict do so in future, said Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday, adding prosperity of people in the two nations depends only on peace.
Abdullah expressed satisfaction that routine life have resumed in Indian villages, particularly in Vijaypur and Samba areas in Jammu region, that were affected by firing on the international border a few months ago.
Addressing a public meeting in Vijaypur town, the chief minister expressed hope that relations between India and Pakistan will improve, and stressed all issues can be settled only through dialogue.
“Wars in the past have never solved any problem and will not solve any issue in future,” he said, referring to the three wars fought by India and Pakistan.
Abdullah also said his government has equipped people with effective legislation to identify corrupt officials and seek their punishment through independent institutions established in the state in the last five years.
“To curb corruption has remained our first target. We brought historic initiatives to empower people to be important players in achieving this goal,” he said, citing laws like the Public Services Guarantee Act, Right to Information Act, re-constitution of the state accountability commission and the establishment of the state vigilance commission.
