Srinagar, the capital city of Jammu and Kashmir, is abuzz with news of the impending visit of US Ambassador Sergio Gor. This will be the first time in a long while that an American ambassador will be setting foot in the region. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed his excitement about the visit, stating that it has been quite some time since he has had the opportunity to meet with an American ambassador.
Abdullah assured reporters that he will be meeting with Gor to discuss the current situation in the region. He also mentioned that he would prefer to listen more to the ambassador, as he believes the US representative is also coming to listen. The chief minister is eager to see what kind of conversation will take place during their meeting this afternoon.
However, Abdullah made it clear that he will not be discussing internal issues with the US ambassador. He firmly believes that the resolution to these issues lies with the central government, not with Washington. The chief minister stated that it is not his habit to complain about his country to an ambassador of another country.
He believes it would be inappropriate to seek solutions to their problems from a foreign representative. During the meeting, Abdullah will certainly discuss the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir, but he will not be seeking any solutions or complaining about their grievances. He reiterates that the resolution to their issues lies with the central government, not with the US.
At the end of the day, Abdullah is committed to finding solutions for Jammu and Kashmir within the country, and not seeking external intervention.
