Former Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah, 88, on Thursday (March 12, 2026) said hatred was deeply rooted in today’s India, as he demanded “a thorough inquiry” into the failed attempt to kill him at a wedding function in Jammu on Wednesday (March 11) night by a local resident.
“Atmosphere we live in is filled with hate. The tragedy is that hate is deeply rooted in the country now. The space for those who talk about brotherhood, communal harmony and secularism is shrinking. No religion teaches to inflict harm on anyone,” said Mr. Abdullah.
