'For how long will the blood of innocent people be shed?' the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and union minister added

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and Union Minister Farooq Abdullah again stirred the hornet's nest on Wednesday.

"Kab tak begunahon ka khoon behta rahega aur hum ye kehte rahenge ki wo hamara hissa hai?" he said.

Abdullah was referring to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

"Wo inke baap ka hissa nahi hai," he added.

"70 saal ho gaye hain," he added.

"Wo Pakistan hai, ye Hindustan hai aur 70 saal se ye usko haasil nahi kar sake," Abdullah said.

"Aaj kehte hain ye hamara hissa hai," he added.

Abdullah was addressing a gathering in Uri.

Abdullah has of late been advocating changing the Line of Control into an international border and granting more autonomy to both Kashmir and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as a solution to the seven-decade-old conflict.

Abdullah's remarks, expectedly, drew huge amounts of flak with a Bihar court even ordering the filing of an FIR against him on charges of treason.

"I welcome the FIR. Now, they will know who the real man is," ANI reported Abdullah as saying in response.
