Earlier In his brief speech but in sharp contrast to his father, the 41-year old chief minister said, "It is high time that Jammu and Kashmir should not be looked through security prism only and its rich cultural heritage should be promoted. "This year, Jammu and Kashmir had a large number of tourists, surpassing records of the last two decades. This function is to reintroduce Jammu and Kashmir to India to welcome more and more tourists," the chief minister said.
However Senior Abdullah not reading within the lines of his son told the media at an event in Delhi during Kashmir Festival said, "The turbulent days are slowly getting over. But I want to tell you that we are very scared. I am still scared of my neighbour (Pakistan) and it is not wrong because a very dangerous situation is developing. May God bless them with wisdom and strengthen democracy (in Pakistan).
Farooq also has expressed concern over China's involvement in the Kashmir region. "As a person who closely observes the situation, it is very dangerous for us the way China has turned its attention towards it (Kashmir). But by grace of the God, our people are not willing to support it (militancy)," added Farooq.
