“We are against any violence. There is a need for reconciliation; all stakeholders should come and talk… For peace to be restored, we must not forget the principles upheld since 1947. Peace cannot be achieved without justice, and justice can only occur when all stakeholders come together at the table to discuss solutions” he told ANI.

“When he is in power, he expresses one opinion, but when he is out of power, he expresses a different one. Omar Abdullah follows a similar pattern. Since 1947, his party has maintained a double standard. However, the time will come when the people will teach them a lesson. They secured votes using Article 370, but now they are not even mentioning it,” he said. (ANI)
