Mr. Abdullah's comments are very divisive.  He says that stone pelters are just fighting for nation.  I think what he wants to say is that they are fighting for a separate nation - separate from India.  J & K state has been suffering for such a long time that it is ridiculous that politicians cann't find a viable solution to mitigate the sufferings of people in that state.  My personal feeling is that it is due to the greed and politics which is a big stumbling block in achieving an ultimate objective to bring peace in that part of India, and Abdullah dynasty is equally responsible for this.  Three generation of Abdullah family ruled that state.  If they love their people so much, if they really wanted to improve an economic condition of that state, they could have done it by inviting outside investment thus creating meaningful jobs for their citizens. We all know that an Article 370's existence in the local Constitution is a big hic-cup to achieve this objective.  But the prudence dictates that the constitution is always amendable and it ought to be amended as the circumstances change.  It is not an issue carved on a stone, it is changeable and needs to be changed.  However, instead of working with the local and central government to find ways to creating jobs by repealing an Article 370, he is suggesting to invite foreign powers to solve this issue.  What a shame.
