JAMMU, Jan 12: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah today asserted that Jammu and Kashmir are inseparable, firmly rejecting a recent demand by a BJP leader to grant separate Statehood to the Jammu region by bifurcating the Union Territory.

The former Chief Minister’s remarks came even as the BJP’s JK president Sat Sharma sought to distance the party’s stand from the controversial proposal of Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Sham Lal Sharma recently.
“Neither Jammu nor Kashmir can be separated from each other. It would be like separating the head from the body — with Jammu as the head and Kashmir as the torso,” Abdullah said during his visit to Narwal Fruit Mandi here.
He claimed even the people of Ladakh want to return to the fold of Jammu and Kashmir.
