PM Modi should put pressure on Israel to end 'bloodshed' in Palestine, Lebanon: Abdullah

 National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah on Sunday said the Union government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi should put pressure on Israel to end the "bloodshed" in Palestine and Lebanon.

"What has happened yesterday (killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah), it looks like war is hovering around the region. The Government of India and the prime minister along with other international leaders should put pressure on Israel to stop the killings so that peace is established in the region," Abdullah told reporters on the last day of election campaign in Baramulla.

Asked about some political leaders like PDP president Mehbooba Mufti suspending their election campaign following Nasrallah's killing, Abdullah said he would not like to comment on that.

"(However), we have condemned the Israeli aggression on Palestinians, we have demanded that the international community should pressurise Israel to stop killing people whether it is in Palestine or Lebanon," he added.

On the security situation in the Jammu region, the former chief minister said the ruling dispensation was responsible for the "deteriorating" situation.

"Militancy has raised its head in Jammu again. Today, the news of attacks in various parts of Jammu keep coming every other day. There was laxity on their (BJP's) part. The situation has deteriorated during their term," he added.

Responding to BJP's criticism of the NC and the Congress in its elections campaign, Abdullah said the ruling party has "nothing to show" in terms of development of Jammu and Kashmir.

"As they have nothing to show for their tenure of government, they will blame the NC-Congress," he said.
