Jammu, September 27: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said the eight-point package announced by the Centre is not Kashmir-centric and is intended to address grievances of people in Jammu and Ladakh regions also.
The chief minister also maintained that despite turmoil in the Kashmir Valley for the past over three months, the government paid due attention to development works.
“The package is not Kashmir-centric and is for all three regions. Some organisations have been saying Kashmir is on fire and there is no need to focus on Jammu and Ladakh. But Committees announced under the package will look into grievances of Jammu and Ladakh also,” Omar said.
His remarks came in the wake of BJP and certain refugees organisations charging that the Centre’s latest initiative is Kashmir-centric and it ignored the other two regions.
