Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and National Conference party leader Farooq Abdullah has said Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) would remain with Pakistan, while Jammu and Kashmir would remain with India.
He also said dialogue is the only option for a settlement of the issue between India and Pakistan.


"PoK is in Pakistan, and will remain. J&K is in India, and will remain. We need to understand this," news agency ANI has reported Abdullah as saying to reporters. "War is not the solution, only lives our lost. Dialogue is the only option," he added.


Abdullah, a former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, has also served as a Union minister.
