JAMMU, Aug 7: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday asked Pakistan to stop interfering in India's internal affairs and instead address the situation in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kash-mir (PoJK), while asserting that issues relating to Jammu and Kashmir would be resolved within the country's democratic and constitut-ional framework.
Responding to remarks by Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on the anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370, Abdullah said Pakistan had no role in matters concerning Jammu and Kashmir.
"We have our own differences over the August 5 decision, but that is India's internal matter. Pakistan has nothing to do with it. The more they interfere, the weaker our case becomes," he told reporters.
The Chief Minister alleged that serious human rights violations were taking place in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir and urged Islamabad to focus on addressing those issues instead of commenting on India's internal affairs....
