Kashmiri boys sacrificing lives for freedom, says Farooq Abdullah
“The boys joining militant ranks are sacrificing their lives for freedom of their nation and turmoil in Jammu and Kashmir was in itself a result of extra-constitutional intrigues by successive regimes in New Delhi that went against all constitutional safeguards and promises that were provided to the State at the time of accession,” former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister said during a party function at Nawa-e-Subh complex here in Srinagar.
“Before looking at external factors and blaming the problems in J&K on terrorism, New Delhi should read contemporary history of the State with objectivity and then only will it realize that the simmering political issue in the State is the outcome of New Delhi’s overt and covert acts of constitutional impropriety and injustice with the State and its people”, the National Conference President added.
“India and Pakistan are not able to understand this. This fights started in 1931. We are not anybody’s enemy. But we are asking both the countries to do justice with us. You forgot promises made in 1948,”said the NC president.
“But a new nation has taken birth which doesn’t fear guns. It is striving to achieve the freedom of this nation,” he said.
