NC is ready to drop autonomy demand: Farooq

SRINAGAR: National Conference patron and former J&K CM Farooq Abdullah on Monday said his party is ready to drop its autonomy demand provided a solution, acceptable to the state's people, is found.

"We believe autonomy is the only solution but if there is a better solution acceptable to the people, the party will be first to endorse it," he said.

Farooq maintained the issue could be solved only when "Kashmiris' voice is heard".

"If a lasting solution is to be found, then talks should be held with all groups without which the whole exercise is futile," he said.

He said a solution is unthinkable without Hurriyat's participation.
