Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday raised a question whether a resolution by the State Assembly seeking mercy for Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru on the lines of Tamil Nadu House would also generate a “muted” reaction.

“If J&K assembly had passed a resolution similar to the Tamil Nadu one for Afzal Guru would the reaction have been as muted? I think not,” Mr. Abdullah posted on social networking site Twitter.

His comments came a day after the Tamil Nadu assembly passed a unanimous resolution urging President Pratibha Patil to reconsider the mercy plea of three convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case who are facing death sentence.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said Pakistan will have to talk to mainstream politicians also if the leadership of Jammu and Kashmir is to be included in dialogue between New Delhi and Islamabad for resolution of Kashmir issue.

“If they want inclusion of Kashmiri leadership in the dialogue, then Pakistan will have to talk to the mainstream leadership also,” Mr. Omar told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.

He said separatists were not the only leaders in Jammu and Kashmir as the mainstream political parties have proved their representative character from time to time.

Mr. Omar said there was nothing to worry about the meeting between visiting Pakistan Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar and separatist leaders in New Delhi on Tuesday.

“There is nothing new in Hurriyat Conference leaders meeting Pakistani dignitaries. This is not happening for the first time and there is nothing to worry about,” he said.

Responding to questions, the Chief Minister said he was satisfied that Foreign Ministers of India and Pakistan discussed confidence building measures in respect of Jammu and Kashmir and also resolved to strengthen these.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday said he had never questioned the accession of the state to the Union of India.

"I have never said accession of Jammu and Kashmir to rest of India is not permanent. In my speech in the state Assembly in October Last year, I only pointed out the difference between accession and merger," Omar said.

Omar during a passionate speech in the Assembly at the peak of summer unrest had said the problem in Jammu and Kashmir was unique and needed a political solution.
