On the question of Naya Kashmir, Dr. Abdullah said that saying that everything is safe here, one should go to downtown and ask them what the situation is. On the question of stone pelting and strikes stopping, change in circumstances, he said that there are soldiers in every corner. There were never so many before. I have also been the Chief Minister. On the question of the promise of restoring 370 and bringing back 35A, he said that ever since India became independent and we got this article, their intention was to remove it. How many years did it take them to remove it. It took two hundred years to get independence. We will also take it back. I will not be able to see it, that is a different matter.
He said that it was never said that we will hold talks with Pakistan. Vajpayee ji did it, Manmohan Singh ji did it, talks keep going on. Farooq Abdullah said that when Amarnath Yatra used to happen, it used to happen during our time too. People used to come, roam around freely and go back. There was never so much army. He said that even today the Yatra happens, people come like prisoners and are taken away like prisoners. They cannot roam around outside.
Farooq Abdullah, on the statistics of the decrease in stone pelting incidents, said that how many of our innocent children are in jails. He said that the Prime Minister had promised to form a committee, but nothing has happened till date. There are many things to say, but showing a picture is very good. Abdullah said that the G-20 meeting was held, where were they held – in a hotel. No one could meet them. They were not taken anywhere. Who will answer this? The ambassador came, took them around Dal but did he send them anywhere outside?
Regarding terrorism, he said that all this had ended during Omar’s time, but today it has started again. Today there is no 370, where does terrorism come from today? Where did the attack on the pilgrims in Shivkheri come from? On the promise of restoring the autonomy before 1953, the former CM said that go to the villages, ask the people. He mentioned the resolution of 1998 and said that in 1996 Narasimha Rao had said that we will give you even the sky, there is no talk of independence. He was told that we never talked about independence.
What did he say about Engineer Rashid?
On the release of Engineer Rashid, Farooq Abdullah said that I congratulate Delhi that first they released him and then their state president Raina wrote a letter saying that they have to be supported. He said that on the question of calling independents BJP’s proxy, he said that the biggest sentiment is freedom, freedom from India. Accept this also then. Farooq said that his children had come out and were saying that we want freedom, it was not visible at that time.
What did he say on Kandahar plane hijacking
The former CM of Jammu and Kashmir, while referring to the hijacking of IC 814 plane, said that this is what they did. What did they do, they released three terrorists and you are seeing the result of that, which is terrorism. He was the Chief Minister then. He said that even at that time, he was told not to do it. But he did not listen. Farooq Abdullah said that he will keep making mistakes and think that he will strengthen India.
The same terrorists are sitting in Pakistan and you say that we should talk to them. On this question he said that then why are we talking to China. They have our land, why are we talking to them. They are sitting on our land. Vajpayee sahab had said that friends can be changed, but not neighbors. If we live in friendship, both will progress, if we live in enmity, progress will be weakened. This was the saying of their leader. You can be enemies, what does it matter to me.
