Srinagar, Sep 25
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and president of the ruling National Conference (NC), Dr Farooq Abdullah, said on Thursday that violence in Ladakh erupted after peaceful protests failed to produce the desired result, and he urged the Centre to start a dialogue with the agitating people of the region.
Addressing a media conference here, Dr Abdullah said the unrest in Ladakh was internal and started by the locals, and there was no conspiracy involved.
He warned the Central government that neglecting their long-standing demands could deepen unrest in the sensitive Himalayan region.
