Former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah had blamed ‘elements’ in Delhi for the present turmoil in the Kashmir Valley. "One day India may lose Kashmir. The separatists’ active in the Valley cannot be blamed alone but elements in Delhi are equally responsible for this. They are pushing people to the wall," Abdullah said at a function in New Delhi on September 30. Abdullah alleged that there was politics against the people of Kashmir during the rule of erstwhile Maharaja Hari Singh, and the same tendency persists even today1.
