NC leader slams arrest of Farooq, Omar

Jammu, August 9

Senior National Conference (NC) leader and former minister Ajay Sadhotra condemned the arrest of National Conference president and vice-president and former chief ministers Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah.

The NC leader said it was “unfortunate” that leaders of mainstream and premier political party had been arrested. He said instead of taking mainstream political leaders on board, the BJP government had arrested them. He demanded that Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah and other political leaders, including former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, be released before Eid. — TNS
