New Ladakh division: Farooq lashes out at Centre for handing Kargil ‘begging bowl’

SRINAGAR: Lashing out at Centre and Governor administration for denying people of Kargil their rightful share in the newly constituted Ladakh division, National Conference (NC) president Dr Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday said the move will inevitably create animosity between the communities.
In a statement Wednesday evening, former chief minister Dr Farooq said the people of Kargil are being punished only to pursue the agenda of divisive politics. “All along it was decided that the division headquarter will be positioned on a rotational basis between Leh and Kargil and all the departments to be divided equally between the two districts. But the incumbent Government issuing an SRO in favour of only one district has severely dented the genuine aspirations of people in Kargil and adjoining areas,” he alleged.
