National Conference leader Omar Abdullah today said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan's statement about improving ties with India "sounds good" but a lot would depend on his actions.
Khan, who is eyeing to form the government in Pakistan, had said that his country was willing to improve its ties with India.
Abdullah, who is visiting the city, told reporters, "We have to wait for him (Imran Khan) to swear in ... Let us give him some time."
On the tension at the Indo-Pak border, Abdullah said, "This is not a new development as per yesterday's (Pakistan election result). We have seen tension in the border, tension in the line of control for the last couple of years now."
Khan, in his first public address after leading his party to victory in the elections, had said, "If they take one step towards us, we will take two, but at least need a start."
