Farooq: militant camps still intact

Jammu: The former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Farooq Abdullah, claims that militant camps are still intact in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and has urged the new government in Islamabad to review its Kashmir policy. “Don’t live in euphoria. Militants’ camps are still intact in PoK,” he cautioned and urged the Centre to speed up the dialogue process with Pakistan for an amicable settlement of the Kashmir issue.

Dr. Abdullah was speaking at an interactive session organised by the Jammu and Kashmir Forum for Peace and Reconciliation here on Friday.

Dr. Abdullah described China as the “biggest threat to India,” saying its massive build-up of nuclear submarines on the Hainan island is an indication. Satellite images recently showed China building a strategic naval base with nuclear powered submarines on the island in the South China Sea. “We have to be very careful about China from the security point of view,” he said. — PTI
