Abdullah meets Advani

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah on Thursday met Union Home Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani and apprised him of militant threats to step up violence in the state after the Agra summit.

During his 20-minute meeting with Advani, Abdullah said the militants might try to attack the "soft targets" in the state, official sources said. The home minister assured the chief minister of all possible help in case of any stepped up violence.

Abdullah's fear stems from the fact that several militant organisations had threatened to intensify attacks in the state.

The chief minister, who was camping in the capital during the entire Agra summit, lauded India's role during the negotiations. He said the Indo-Pak summit should not be termed a "failure" as the dialogue process had begun.

Abdullah said the approach adopted by New Delhi was in the "right perspective" and Pakistan would have to agree that J&K was an integral part of India.
