Abdullah said India carried out airstrikes in Balakot in retaliation, "Then, only our aircraft was hit there. No one was killed, only a few trees were destroyed."
The National Conference president said that Modi won the elections but created hatred in the country.
Referring to the abrogation of Article 370 by the Centre, he said, "Now, your vote is a response to this hatred. You have to use your vote to show that the decisions of August 5, 2019 are unacceptable to us.,
Referring to the merger of Jammu and Kashmir with India in 1947, Abdullah said that Kashmir joined India not because it was powerful, but because the people followed Gandhi's path.
