November 14, 2011 14:23

Update on the other big meeting today -- Omar's with the PM -- on AFSPA.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said there was ample opportunity to address the concerns of the armed forces and still go ahead
with the proposed plan. Omar, who met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister P Chidambaram, also made it clear that he was not in
the "business of playing politics with national security", nor would he do so ever in future.

"I believe that there is ample opportunity to address both the concerns of armed forces while still allowing us to go ahead with the position that we have taken which is keeping with what the Cabinet Committee on Security recommended almost a year ago," he said after a meeting with Chidambaram.
