Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) working president Omar Abdullah on Saturday said both India and Pakistan would have to settle the Kashmir issue according to the sentiments and aspirations of the people of the State.
Addressing massive election rallies in Sumbal and Kangan Assembly seats, Mr. Abduallah said the people of his State were primary stakeholders of their political destiny and any possible solution would have to respect their dignity and sentiments.
“No amount of economic packages or dreams about development can substitute the need for an acceptable and just resolution of our political issue,” he said.
