Meanwhile, National Conference President Farooq Abdullah Sunday said a meaningful dialogue between Pakistan and India was imperative for regional peace, APP reports.

“Peace was impossible unless both countries came to the table,” he said while talking to the media in Shopian, according to Kashmir Media Service.

Expressing regrets over the civilian killings in Poonch, he said, “We cannot fight terrorism by harming our people. We can only fight against terrorism with the support of the people. Such incidents mustn’t be repeated”.

Abdullah said several injured were admitted to different hospitals in critical condition. “They were all poor and were doing menial jobs. How can they work now with their fractured bodies?” he remarked.
