Neither India nor Pak can take Kashmir from each other: Farooq

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief
Minister Farooq Abdullah on Sunday said neither India could take back
Pak-occupied-Kashmir nor Pakistan has the power to take this part of Kashmir by
going to war, so the solution to the problem lies in dialogue between the two countries.

“We cannot take what is with them
with war…what is with them neither can we take it nor they have the power to
take this Kashmir from us, so what other way is left?” Abdullah told
reporters on the sidelines of a function here.

He said people who call him
“anti-national” and making “hue and cry” over his recent
statement on PoK are those who once appreciated him for “defending the
nation in the United Nations” and if they have guts, (they should) go and
fight on the borders.

“They will keep on saying Farooq
Abdullah as anti- national, it is upto them what they call, when I defended my
nation in the United Nations that time was I not anti- national, even (Atal
Bihari) Vajpayee lauded me,” he said.

Stressing for resumption of dialogue
between India and Pakistan, the National Conference chief said resident of
Jammu and Kashmir on both sides of the divided line (Line of Control) were
suffering due to the cross-border firing.

“They should come and see the
problems of the people living on the borders. The people of Jammu and Kashmir
are dying. On both sides, it is our people who are dying. What is the solution?
There is no solution except dialogue,” he said.

Senior Abdullah also took a swipe on
India’s failure to bring back Masoor Azhar or Dawood Ibrahim, saying we could
not bring Masood Azhar or the Don who lives in Karachi what resolutions are you
talking of.
