“Today I felt for the first time that things have changed here since the prime minister and the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) chairperson would not be addressing people from behind a bullet-proof screen,” Omar Abdullah said at a press meet after Manmohan Singh and Congress Chairperson Sonia Gandhi decided not to use a bullet proof while flagging off a new train service linking south Kashmir with Srinagar and other places in north.

Welcoming the change, Omar told the media that the situation is perhaps less critical in his state and the need now is concentrating on strengthening both political and economic scenario of J&K.

“If we want to rid the state of the menace of the gun, we must find a permanent solution to political problem here.” Abdullah ensured full support to the on-going dialogue between the central and the state government to curb terrorist acts in the state.
