Srinagar, Jun 13: Terming Israel’s attack on Iran as “unjustified” Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday said that escalation between the two countries will have direct impact on people in the sub-continent.
Talking to the reporters here, Omar said that “the attack will have a direct impact on our fuel prices, stock market, flights to ply to the west and more than that it will have an impact on sentiments of the people.”
According to Omar, Israel did not give any reason for this strike. “Israel has waged war on a country by calling it a pre-emptive attack. Israel did the same thing that Russia did in Ukraine. It will be unfortunate if the world remains silent on the issue,” he said.
“The attack on Iran is not justified like the way Russia’s attack on Ukraine was wrong,” he said.
Earlier, Israel said early on Friday that it struck Iran while Iranian media said explosions were heard in Tehran. Israel has also declared a state of emergency in anticipation of a missile and drone strike by Tehran.
Meanwhile, Omar termed the plane crash in Ahmedabad as unfortunate, hoping that the reasons behind the incident will be brought to the public and such incidents will not occur again. He also expressed sympathies with the families of victims.
Pertinently, 265 people were killed after Air India’s flight to London crashed in Ahmedabad. (KNO)
