'Almost unheard of,' says Omar Abdullah on PM Modi's visit

"Any engagement of India and Pakistan is a welcome thing. Clearly a back-channel that has made this possible," Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah told NDTV.



"The Indo-Pak engagement have gone through a lot of roughs. Now a jaw dropping event done by the Prime Minister. But there is no consistency," he said.



"It's almost unheard of in Asian region. The onus now is on these two Prime Ministers. Let's see what happens," he said.



"Any chai pe charcha is good. Kashmiri kawa is sweeter. May be sweet start would be appropriate," Mr Abdullah said.
