Jammu, Oct 24 (UNI) Pitching for Indo-Pak dialogue, National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah on Sunday said that peace in the region will remain elusive unless a conducive atmosphere is made for talks between the two neighbouring countries.
“India and Pakistan should work towards this objective’, Dr Abdullah said while addressing a public meeting at the border township of Mendhar in Poonch district on the second leg of his two-day visit to the Jammu.
The NC President recalled the sagacious and apt statement of former Prime Minister Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee about "friends can be changed but the neighbours cannot be changed" and hoped that this spirit will help both the nations to work for peace.
