New Delhi. Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and President of National Conference Farooq Abdullah has given a very controversial statement due to which BJP is furious. While demanding restoration of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, Farooq said during a program in Baramulla, what would you expect from them (Delhi)? Would you expect him to do justice for you? Have courage to fight, if you don't have courage then you will be destroyed, your name and mark will be erased. Without naming Pakistan, he said, our neighbor is after them. He reaches everywhere that Kashmir has not been decided. He is saving us, otherwise their intentions are not good.
Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir: National Conference President Farooq Abdullah said, “He is absolutely Khudmukht (independent). When I saw those papers, what would you expect from him (Delhi)?

They are silent today because there is power in the world. Our neighbor is after them. He reaches everywhere that Kashmir has not been decided. He is saving us, otherwise his intentions are not good.

BJP's Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma said that Farooq Abdullah should apologize to the 140 crore people of the country. They want to spread anarchy in the country. Every patriot, whether Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian or Parsi, will not tolerate his statement. I personally believe that they should be given a chance to go and live in Pakistan.

Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Vinod Bansal said, the country changed, the nature of Kashmir changed, the law changed in Kashmir, Kashmir was, is and will always be an integral part of India, this resolution was repeated many times but the traitors of the country do not understand. Even after getting power, he is not giving up betrayal. Live in India and praise Pakistan. The son is the Chief Minister and he himself wants to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Farooq Abdullah should apologize immediately. This is treason and there is no greater treason than this. What all did that sinful Pakistan do to separate Kashmir from India? He has an old habit of making holes in the plate in which he eats.
#WATCH Delhi: On Farooq Abdullah's reported statement about Pakistan, VHP leader Vinod Bansal said, “Kashmir was, is, and will always remain an integral part of India. They live in India and sing praises of Pakistan… Is Kashmir safe because of Pakistan, or is Kashmir safe by showing India's strength to Pakistan? If this is his statement, then there is no greater treason than this…”

At the same time, Congress leader Hussain Dalwai has also expressed disagreement with Farooq Abdullah's statement. He said that this is completely wrong. I don't know why Farooq Abdullah has given such a statement. It is absolutely wrong to praise Pakistan. Due to the partition of India and Pakistan, Muslims had to face a complex situation. We are suffering the consequences of Jinnah's mistakes.
Mumbai, Maharashtra: On National Conference President Farooq Abdullah's statement, Congress leader Husain Dalwai says, “… I do not agree with this; it is completely wrong. I do not know why Farooq Abdullah has made such a statement. I have great respect for him; he is a respected leader. In my opinion, it was wrong for him to make such a statement. Praising Pakistan is absolutely wrong. It was because of the partition of India and Pakistan that Muslims were left facing a complicated situation. We are still bearing the consequences of the mistakes made by Jinnah.”
