Lar (Ganderbal ), Apr 29: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Chief Professor Saifuddin Soz on Sunday said that Pakistan had finally realized that violence is detestable and it is in Pakistan’s interest to live in an atmosphere of friendliness with India.
 "Certain heart-warming situations are in the offing in the sub continent as Pakistan has finally realized that violence is detestable," he said while addressing a gathering here in north Kashmir on the occasion of 22nd death anniversary of the former National Conference leader and ex-cabinet minister, late Sheikh Abdul Jabbar.
