Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Tuesday asserted that Kashmir would always remain an integral part of India come what may.
"We are responsible for the strife in Kashmir..we couldnt take care of the jannat.
Let us all make it jannat (paradise) again," Abdullah said at an election rally of the Telugu Desam Party in Kadapa town of Andhra Pradesh.
In the same breath, he said progress of both India and Pakistan would stall if the two remained enemies.
Recalling late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayees words, Abdullah said "If we neighbours remain friends, we both can progress. If we remain enemies, progress of both will stall."
