Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah said on Saturday that Pakistan’s role in Kashmir issue is “an established fact” and urged New Delhi and Islamabad to work urgently towards holding a summit between the two Prime Ministers to talk exclusively on Kashmir.
“We want to tell our children that Kashmir issue no longer exists and peace and development has taken the permanent place in the state”, he said while addressing a public rally at Pattan, a town in Baramullah district.
The chief minister while emphasising the need for sustained dialogue between India and Pakistan to address Kashmir issue said the leaders of the two countries should talk and talk in right direction and perspective to resolve this issue once for all.
“We want to tell our children that Kashmir issue no longer exists and peace and development has taken the permanent place in the state,” he said.
He added that the Kashmir issue was born at the time of the partition of the country. “India considers its accession to it necessary for the secular characteristics of India and Pakistan wants the area to be with it for having Muslim majority representative character.
Both the two countries are nurturing their individual ideas in this regard and people of Jammu and Kashmir are suffering constantly”, he asserted and called for the summit between Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan to talk Kashmir.
