NEW DELHI: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Thursday said the Centre should hold talks with the people of Ladakh to address their aspirations, and expressed concerns over the future of children. While talking with reporters, Abdullah warned that if a void is left in the border state, someone else (China) will try to fill it, PTI reported. "I want to tell the government that it (Ladakh) is a border state. China is lurking, they have occupied land. It is time to resolve it quickly. The government should hold talks and resolve it," Abdullah told reporters here. Four people were killed and at least 80 injured during day-long clashes on Wednesday in Ladakh, triggered by a shutdown organised by the Leh Apex Body (LAB), which supports an agitation for statehood.
