SRINAGAR: Stating that even a superpower like the US had to ultimately withdraw its forces from Afghanistan, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday said the Centre should not test the patience of the people of Jammu and Kashmir any longer and should hold talks soon.
“It takes courage to withstand what the people of Jammu and Kashmir are enduring. The day the people run out of patience, you will be doomed. This is the time to make amends,” Mufti said.
She added, “See what is happening with our neighbours now. Even a great superpower like America had to leave (Afghanistan) and go back. Now is the time to remember what Vajpayee ji had started and resume talks. Things have been looted from Jammu and Kashmir using so called legal means, and the erstwhile state has been broken up. Now is the time to make amends or else it will be very late.”
