Omar Abdullah for resolution of political issues through dialogue

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday said he will continue to bat for resolution of all political issues concerning the State through dialogue as economic development cannot resolve the problem. “I will continue to bat for resolution of all the political issues concerning Jammu and Kashmir in an amicable and peaceful manner through the process of dialogue,” he said. “The resolution of political issues confronting the state is need of the hour and the channels of dialogue need to be kept operative so that peace and development go hand in hand and Jammu and Kashmir becomes a state of peace, prosperity, development and plenty,” he said. “This he did only to grab power and become the Chief Minister,” Mr. Omar said asking people “to confirm this from George Fernandes who was then a Central Minister”.
