Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday said India had been dishonest with the people of the State in fulfilling the conditions of accession in 1947.
“Jammu and Kashmir acceded to India on certain conditions … how much of those conditions have you fulfilled actually?” he said in an interview with television journalist Karan Thapar.
When asked, he agreed that this time round the agitation was explicitly anti-India.
“Right now, if you had to travel to Srinagar and meet some of the people lying in hospitals, injured, the only thing they can tell people is that I cannot wait to get out of the hospital, and if I can find a weapon, I am going become a militant,” Mr. Abdullah observed.
