Resolution on PoK that it is India’s part “hardly matters ” : Farooq

26 November, Jammu

Former Union Minister and National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah today said that resolution passed in the Indian Parliament on Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir that it is a part of India “hardly matters”.

“How does it matter? How many resolutions are there in United Nations to hold plebiscite in Kashmir? Had India accepted? How come this resolution matters,” Dr Abdullah told a National news channel here tonight.

On a question that on India’s claim on PoK, is he not toeing a Pakistan line, the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister replied, “Why I am toeing Pakistan line. Can you take that part of Kashmir? When they cannot take this part, we also cannot take that part.”

On taunting India on PoK issue that ‘Kya Yeh Unke Baap Ka Hai,’ Dr Abdullah replied, “it cannot be taken. For 70 years you have not taken it. When you gonna take it now, why you blame Farooq Abdullah for that.”

However, when asked that he seems to be acting as advocate for Pakistan, he said, “I am not a Pakistani. If those people who think I am a Pakistani, they should go to hell. They are the agents of Pakistan not me.”
