Abdullah Sr questions India's stake in PoK, draws criticism

Published on: 

Former Union Minister and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Saturday said all those people who say I am Pakistani are the real agents of Pakistan, not me.

He said all those people who are labelling him Pakistani must go to ‘hell’.

While addressing a public rally in Kishtwar on Thursday Farooq Abdullah had questioned India’s stake in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, asking whether it was “your father’s property.”

Earlier in the day BJP workers across Jammu region had burnt his effigies while demanding an ‘unconditional apology’ for his irresponsible outburst.

“It looks that the leaders of National Conference have been so much demoralised and frustrated that they have lost their wit and giving such irresponsible statements, the BJP leaders had said after holding protest demonstrations.

In the evening Abdullah lost his cool when he was confronted with a straight question, “you seem to be acting as advocate for Pakistan”.

Apparently in angry mood  Dr Abdullah replied ,”Why I am toeing Pakistan line.Can you take that part of KashmirIJ When they can’t take this part, we also can’t take that part.

On asked to comment on his controversial statement where he was heard taunting India on POK, “Kya yeh unke baap ka haiIJ Farooq once again clarified, “it can’t be taken. For 70 years you have not taken it. When you are going to take it now. Why you blame Farooq Abdullah for that. When asked to comment on the Indian Parliaments’ resolution that POK is part of India Abdullah’s response stunned all. “How does it matter. How many resolutions are there in United Nations to hold plebiscite in Kashmir. Had India AcceptedIJ How come this resolution matters.”
