After poll win, Abdullah demands Governor's rule in J&K

JAMMU: Virtually defending stone-pelters in Kashmir, National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah today claimed that all stone-pelters are not the same and questioned whether the nation is concerned about them and their future.

Abdullah lost his cool after a volley of questions by journalists at a function here over his tacit support to stone-pelters and preaching soft separatism to garner votes for his election, and later refused to answer further questions and left in huff.

He was asked whether he was playing with the sentiments of the nation by supporting stone-pelters.

“What is sentiments of whole nation. What do you mean by the sentiments of the nation? You have to see whether the boys have some grievances. Don’t you think they have some grievances? You only have concern for the nation. Does the nation have concern about them (stone-pelters) and their future?” he said. (AGENCIES)
