Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today defended his proposal of a new surrender policy for the militants in Pak-Occupied Kashmir. He said pragmatic initiatives are required to ensure economic rehabilitation of the ultras. Addressing a press conference in Jammu, Mr Abdullah said, the state government had considered all pros and cons of the idea to avoid its misuse. His comments came in the backdrop of Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad expressing fears that the initiative might end up as another way of infiltration. Justifying his demand for the policy during the Chief Ministers meet in New Delhi, Mr Abdullah said, the Centre and the state governments should work out the policy in a manner without hampering the national interests at any level but pave way for the militants to return to normal life.
