Farooq Abdullah's statement regarding Pakistani claims on Kashmir incorrect: Ghulam Nabi Azad

Ghulam Nabi Azad has responded to Farooq Abdullah's recent remarks on Pakistan's influence in Kashmir. Azad emphasized that Pakistan has historically been an enemy of India and the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He urged respect for the development efforts made by successive Indian governments since 1947. Shia leader Imran Ansari also criticized Abdullah, labeling him and his party as 'rebels on rent'.
