NEW DELHI: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah today stressed on the need for converting Line of Control as a permanent border and initiation of talks with Pakistan to resolve the Kashmir issue.
“How will you resolve Kashmir issue without talking to Pakistan? The two countries have to talk to each other. Also the Centre needs to initiate talks with the constituents of Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir to find an amicable solution to the issue,” the National Conference (NC) president said during the ‘Agenda Aajtak’ event here.
He warned that if the Centre continued to ignore Kashmir, it will be up in flames once again. “… Fire is there which can be low on intensity for some time but it can again rise. Till when will we sacrifice the lives of our people and soldiers,” he asked.
“I know many people will not like it but there is only one solution to the Kashmir issue which is that this part of Kashmir remains part of India and that part of Kashmir remains part of Pakistan,” Abdullah said. (AGENCIES)
