Srinagar, July 2 -- J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday defended the call for improved India-Pakistan relations made by several political leaders from Jammu and Kashmir, saying "no one should object" to efforts aimed at restoring peace between the two neighbouring countries.
Speaking to reporters in Shopian, Omar said tensions between India and Pakistan have persisted for decades and worsened after the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack.
"This tension has been going on for the past 30-40 years. And last year, after the Pahalgam, there was an increase in this. Now, through a letter, the Prime Minister is being requested to somehow improve the relations between the two countries. No one should object to this," Omar Abdullah said.
