Kashmir: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah said that ‘trust is broken’ and the central government has to rebuild the gap between Jammu & Kashmir and Delhi. Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah spoke to the media in Kashmir after attending the all-party meet called by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 24. National Conference (NC) chief Farooq Abdullah said, “The first PM promised us a plebiscite and went back on it. Narasimha Rao promised us autonomy and went back on it.
