SRINAGAR: National Conference (NC) president Dr Farooq Abdullah Friday hits out at Pakistan for resorting to violence in Jammu and Kashmir, saying “Are they avenging us for not joining them”.

God knows when it will come to an end,” Dr Farooq Abdullah commenting on yesterday’s Gulmarg terror attack in which 2 army men and 2 porters got martyred.
