No scope: Omar Abdullah's U-turn on dialogue with Pakistan over Kashmir

India Today  

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, in a volte-face, said there was "no scope" of India initiating a dialogue with Pakistan following a spree of terror attacks on security forces and construction camps in the state. In an interview with the BBC, Abdullah, who had last year pitched for talks between the two nations, accused Pakistan of "meddling" in the affairs of J&K. The National Conference vice-president stressed that Pakistan would have to take on board some of the Indian government's concerns for a "friendly working relationship". "Trying to get Pakistan to take on board some of the government's concerns so that we can establish a friendly working relationship is something the National Conference has talked about," he further said.
