Minimising differences between Jammu, Kashmir will be our aim: Farooq Abdullah

Abdullah also asserted his supremacy over the choice of person who will head the government.

Srinagar: National Conference President Farooq Abdullah Wednesday, October 9 said the aim of the NC-Congress government would be to minimise the differences between the two regions of the Union Territory and to build confidence among the Hindus.

“We have to minimise the differences that they have created between Jammu and Kashmir. Our endeavor should be that the Hindus there have this confidence in us that we will think about them in the same manner as about Kashmir,” Abdullah told reporters here.

“We will not differentiate between the two. So what if they did not vote? We must solve their problems,” he added.

The NC chief said there were many challenges before the new government.
