September 23, 2013 16:15

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today voiced apprehensions that more attempts would be made in the country to weaken the social fabric and to polarise communities in the run-up to 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

Appealing to political parties to desist from dividing communities, the chief minister spoke candidly about the recent communal violence in Kishtwar area of his state and in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

Omar told the National Integration Council chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that the riots in Kishtwar were unfortunate although the area had been free from communal trouble for the last four years.
