Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and ex-Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Thursday addressed a rally in volatile south Kashmir and appealed to people to “shun militancy and guns”.
“Those nations – from Afghanistan to Iraq to Palestine – that took to guns and militancy saw nothing but destruction. Generations were lost. They don’t exist anymore. I don’t want J&K to witness more bodies of our boys on the streets. Our boys were killed by militants and many died in encounters,” Mr. Azad said, while addressing supporters in Anantnag.
