[Jammu]Ex CM Omar Demands Political Solution For Kashmir’s Problem
National Conference working president and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said Kashmir is a “political issue” and needs a “political solution” for heralding lasting peace in the state.
“For arriving at a solution, New Delhi must open channels of dialogue with all stakeholders,” he said while addressing a public rally in Doda today.
Referring to Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar’s claim that demonetisation had a positive impact on the Kashmir situation, Abdullah said, “Instead of continuing to invest in delusions and deflections, there is a need to understand real issues so that a solution can be worked out.”
Abdullah claimed an unprecedented situation is prevailing across the state with development coming to a grinding halt and utility services lying almost defunct.
