A month after Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired an all-party meeting on Jammu Kashmir, National Conference president Farooq Abdullah said on Sunday that there has been “no follow-up results” on the ground.
Prime Minister Modi on June 24 had chaired a meeting with 14 mainstream leaders of Jammu Kashmir, including four former chief ministers of the erstwhile state, in the national capital to discuss the future course of action for the Union territory.
In the meeting, PM Modi had said that he wanted to win the hearts of the people of Jammu Kashmir and remove “Dilli ki doori” (the distance from Delhi) and “dil ki doori” (distance between hearts).
Abdullah, who was part of the meeting, said there is no effort on the ground to win the hearts of the people.
“People continue to be locked up and dissent is not tolerated. We want to see the change on the ground, a visible effort to win back the people who went through the trauma of their state being dismembered, its special status removed in one sudden blow,” the three-time former Jammu Kashmir chief minister told PTI here.
“We are yet to see any follow-up results even after a month,” he said.
