India should send its forces into Pakistan to destroy terrorist training camps, says Minister of State for External Affairs Omar Abdullah.
"Over the last week or ten days I have been saying that it is better to utilise the resources of external intelligence agencies, military intelligence and people like that to go in there," he told a television channel.
Giving his personal opinion, Abdullah said "It does not have to be (done) overtly...You can do it covertly and destroy these training camps because otherwise bleeding by a thousand cuts is really not not the way to go about it". Terming as a "mistake" the Rajiv Gandhi-Farooq Abdullah accord, he said it was "possibly one of the causes of growth of terrorism" as "it stifled all legitimate democratic opposition". A series of political errors, he said, was the reason behind the rise of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, according to the release. "Prior to this in J and K if you were with the National Conference you opposed the Congress, if you were with the Congress then vice-versa. Once the two came together you closed the real channel for legitimate political opposition". Bureau Report
