SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised the outcome of the recent conflict in the middle east, describing it as an “unjust war.”
In a post on X, the Chief Minister said the ceasefire has merely led to the reopening of a strait that had already been freely accessible prior to the outbreak of hostilities.
So the ceasefire allows a strait to reopen, a strait that was open & freely available to everyone to use before the war started. What exactly did this 39 day war achieve for the US? #UnjustWar
