Jammu, Jan 20 (KNO): A day after former Chief Minister and PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti floated the idea of creating separate divisions for the Chenab and Pir Panchal regions, former Chief Minister Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday said that the idea is a Dixon Plan.
Talking to reporters, as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the NC president said that the proposal is a Dixon Plan.
“It is a Dixon Plan. You might not know that. The Dixon Plan is an old proposal which envisaged division on the basis of the Chenab river, creating a Greater Kashmir Valley on one side of the river and separating this part,” Farooq said when asked about Mehbooba Mufti’s demand for the creation of separate divisions for the Chenab and Pir Panchal regions.
