National Conference (NC) chief Farooq Abdullah said on Sunday that further division of India would cause more destruction and added that the enemy was not across the border but amongst us.
Speaking at a press conference here, the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said, "Any further division of this nation will cause only destruction. Our enemy is not across the border but among ourselves. Unless we fight this enemy, there is no solution".
He added that the country would not be able to resolve the problem of Jammu and Kashmir if there was a conflict amongst the people.
Abdullah also stressed on the resumption of talks between India and Pakistan.
"National Security Advisers of India and Pakistan have met in Bangkok. If there is terrorism, then it is necessary that both the countries (India and Pakistan) meet together and discuss over this issue.
