Alleging that more youths from Jammu and Kashmir have been joining militancy in recent years, former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday regretted that "not enough attention" was paid to the state during the recent no-confidence motion in Parliament.

"In my tenure (as Chief Minister, 2009-2015) there were years when number of people who joined militancy was in twenties, while last year, it was 200 plus," Abdullah said at the Think Federal Conclave.
