Says one must work for humanity, not for Nobel Prize
Srinagar, Apr 10: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Friday expressed relief over de-escalation of tensions in West Asia and called for lasting peace across the world.
Speaking to reporters in Srinagar, Dr Farooq, as per news agency Kashmir News Corner — KNC, said, “Thank God the war has stopped. I hope it remains stopped in the future as well, peace prevails in the world and we all benefit from it.”
Reacting to discussions around Pakistan’s mediation and calls for a Nobel Prize, he said, “I don’t see it. One works for Nobel Prize, one works for humanity. Those who demand a Nobel Prize, unfortunate. There is a better prize, which is the cause of humanity.”
