Can Economic Package Solve Kashmir Issue, Asks Omar Abdullah

Srinagar: Opposition National Conference leader Omar Abdullah today doubted if an economic package could address the Kashmir issue as he referred to the huge crowd that the funeral procession of an LeT militant had attracted in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir.

"1000's attend a LeT (Lashkar-e-Taiba) militant's funeral in Padgampora, Kashmir (I heard 20k-30k). Still believe an economic package is the solution, do you?? (sic)," Mr Abdullah wrote on Twitter.com.

Mr Omar was referring to the funeral of the militant killed in an encounter with security forces yesterday in Pulwama district of south Kashmir in which large number of people participated.
