SRINAGAR: Opposition NC president Farooq Abdullah today said while economic development and infrastructural growth was essential, the State would continue to suffer unless the Centre takes a political initiative to resolve Kashmir issue.
“The Chenani-Nashri tunnel being portrayed as an alternative to a political initiative is yet another indication of a sustained effort to brush the political issue in Kashmir under the carpet.
“While economic development and infrastructural growth is essential, the State would continue to suffer unless New Delhi takes a political initiative to resolve the longstanding political issue in consonance with the sentiments of the people,” Abdullah said here on a day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the country’s longest tunnel in the Jammu region.
