Time for PM to translate his I-Day resolve into reality: Omar

JAMMU: National Conference working president Omar Abdullah has said that the time has come for the prime minister to translate his resolve on restoring the lost glory of Kashmir into action as he referred to the latter’s Independence Day speech.

“Let the Centre come forward, embrace the people and help Jammu and Kashmir steer out of its difficulties,” Omar told a party rally in Rajouri today, at the end of his five-day tour of this border district and Poonch.

“Now the time has come when ‘Goli’ (bullet) and ‘Gaali’ (abuses) are discarded and all embrace each other to create an atmosphere of peace and progress. And, in doing so the prime minister should play the leading role, whether it is to address the internal or the external dimensions of Jammu and Kashmir,” the former chief minister said. (AGENCIES)
