Kashmir's stone pelters are just fighting for nation: Farooq Abdullah
April 05, 2017
National Conference (NC) president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief
minister Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday said that those who pelt stones
are just fighting for the nation and have nothing to do with tourism.
"Our
fight is against those people who want to divide us on the basis of
religion. I want to tell Modi saheb that tourism is our life no doubt
about that, but a stone pelter has nothing to do with tourism. They
(stone pelters) will risk starvation, but will throw stones for the
nation that's what we need to understand," Farooq Abdullah told the
party workers in Srinagar.
He further said if India and Pakistan cannot
resolve their issues, then America should come forward and facilitate as
third party to resolve issues between the two countries.
The NC
president said it is not a fight between parties like PDP and NC, it is a
fight to defeat communal forces and to protect secularism.
