Quoting recent estimates, sources said Jammu and Kashmir has nearly 2,00000 orphans, more than 50,000 widows, more than 8,000 half widows, thousands of destitute, old people, who don't have any resources, any means of livelihood.

It was he who some three years back opposed demands of autonomy and self-rule and demanded trifurcation of the state into Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh states.
