Dr. Farooq hails Iran–US Ceasefire as a triumph for humanity
Says Peace is not weakness, it is wisdom, it has prevailed today
Srinagar, 08 Apr: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah Wednesday welcomed the ceasefire agreement between Iran, the United States and Israel, describing it as a momentous step toward global peace and a triumph for humanity.
Dr. Farooq expressed his profound appreciation that the concerned nations opted for dialogue over confrontation, emphasizing that no dispute can ever be genuinely resolved through war. He observed that had hostilities persisted the scale of human suffering would have been catastrophic, and underscored the indispensable role of diplomatic engagement in achieving durable and meaningful solutions.
Highlighting the strategic importance of stability in energy-rich regions, he noted India’s significant role, particularly given the large workforce from Jammu and Kashmir and rest of the country employed across Arab countries, in contributing constructively to the peace process.
Dr. Farooq also drew attention to the extensive destruction and human loss on all sides, including Israel, affirming that conflict yields no real benefit to humanity. He characterized the ceasefire as a triumph of collective prudence and urged nations to place dialogue and balanced foreign policy at the forefront to avert future crises.
He further reaffirmed India’s longstanding support for the Palestinian cause, its robust relations with Arab nations and its measured, principled engagement with global powers such as Russia and China, asserting that such balanced diplomacy is vital in the contemporary international landscape.
Dr. Farooq further stated, “Peace is not a sign of weakness; it is the highest form of wisdom, and today, wisdom has prevailed.”
