National Conference president Farooq Abdullah has cautioned the central government against using force in Ladakh following recent violence that left four dead and 90 injured. The former J&K chief minister attributed the unrest to broken promises after Article 370's abrogation and rejected claims that Congress or activist Sonam Wangchuk instigated the violence, instead urging the government to address underlying issues through dialogue rather than suppression.
