Farooq Abdullah issued the stark warning as he blamed both nations for escalating tensions that have led to the “destruction of people”.

He declared: “Are they the only ones who’re firing? We’re firing too.

Mr Abdullah explained that the only solution to the horrific conflict is a dialogue between New Delhi and Islamabad.

He went on: “War is never a solution to anything. The only solution is dialogue.

“Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) part which is with Pakistan belongs to the neighbouring country and this side to India.

“If the Indian government wants peace it will have to talk to Pakistan and conclude that an autonomy be given to us as well as them.”

The PoK is also referred to as the Azad Jammu and Kashmir is the self governing administered state of in the region.

Tensions continued to soar between the two South Asian after four Indian soldiers were killed and one was wounded after Pakistani troops fired on Indian posts in the Jammu region.

One of the soldiers killed in the shelling was an officer – the incident took place on Sunday.

The deputy commissioner of the Rajouri sector in the area, Shahid Iqbal Choudhary, emphasised the horrific hostilities taking place on the contested border.

He explained: “The situation is tense currently on the border.

“The latest shelling was ongoing until late on Sunday.

“Most of the areas near the border have been affected due to the ceasefire violation. Though it is difficult to evacuate the civilians at night, we are continuously monitoring the situation.”
