``We are actively looking into it,'' Abdullah, son of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, said, adding that the three-member NC parliamentary group would withdraw support if the temple construction work at the disputed Ayodhya site was allowed.

He said his party had made it clear earlier that ``If they allow construction of Ram temple at the disputed site, we will withdraw support''.Denying that his party had lost its secular credentials by supporting BJP, he said the NC had offered only issue-based support to the coalition government.

On the Kashmir situation, he said, ``The problem could be solved only after Pakistan stopped aiding andabetting terrorism''.

Suggesting that both India and Pakistan should evolve a ``middle way'' to resolve the problem, he said, ``Pakistan wants the entire Kashmir as its own and we want POK back....leaving no middle way. We meet at SAARC, go home and shell each other''.

He said Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah's suggestion on converting the Line of Control into the international border had been rejected and said there has to be some basis for starting bilateral discussions. ``Talks in a congenial atmosphere is the key to peace in South Asia''.

Stating that autonomy within Article 370 of the Constitution was the only solution, Omar, however, said the degree of autonomy that was promised in 1947 might not be feasible today. ``But there has to be some degree of autonomy,'' he said.

Denying any increase in militant-related violence in Kashmir after the NC took over the reins of the state, he said, ``Kashmir is peaceful and tourists are flanking the Valley''.

Claiming that the Valley had witnessed a declinein violence in the recent past, Abdullah said the mounting pressure of security forces in the Valley had forced the militants and foreign mercenaries to shift their operational bases to Doda and Jammu areas and Himachal Pradesh.
