The move has been initiated by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who has called for a “realistic view” of the demand of autonomy.

“Our mission is to tell the people that the autonomy is the most suited solution to Jammu and Kashmir, for it happens to meet the aspirations of all the people, of all regions and sub-regions of the state,” Rattan Lal Gupta, provincial president of NC, quoted the chief minister having told the party workers.

National Conference president and union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah told reporters in Jammu Thursday that the autonomy would help find Kashmir solution.

“It is important that the autonomy report (passed by the state legislature in 2000) should be studied in full, without any coloured vision,” he said.
