If you want to win hearts in Kashmir, restore autonomy: Abdullah to Centre

SRINAGAR: Opposition National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah today said if the Centre wanted to win the hearts of the people of Kashmir, it should restore the autonomy to the State.

“If we talk about the conditions of the accession and autonomy today, should we be labelled as traitors and anti- nationals? Is this the gift of our loyalty? We acceded to you (India) with love, but you did not understand our love and took away all that we had. Then you ask, why we do not embrace you.

“Remember this, Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh will not embrace you till you do not try to win the hearts of the people. And if you want to win our hearts, then return our autonomy to us,” he said here. (AGENCIES)
