"Stop this": National Conference President Farooq Abdullah condemns J-K terror attacks

Speaking to ANI, National Conference President Abdullah said, "This will keep going on in the state and it won't stop until we find a proper solution for this. We all know from where it comes. I have been seeing it for 30 years - innocents are killed. We are not going to be part of Pakistan, so why are they doing this - to disrupt our future? They should look towards their country and the issues out there."

"I appeal to them to stop all this and find a way of friendship and if they don't do this, there will be problems. I apologise to the family of those who lost their lives and those who were injured," he added.

Earlier today, security forces continued search operations in Baramulla following the firefight between the Indian Army and terrorists last night.
