CM Omar Abdullah's sons watch J-K Assembly proceedings for first time

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's sons Zahir and Zamir watched the Assembly proceedings for the first time on Tuesday. In their 20s, both Zahir and Zamir Abdullah are lawyers by profession.

They arrived at the Legislative Assembly complex here and watched the proceedings during obituary references. The fourth generation Abdullahs sat beside Nasir Aslam Wani, the advisor to the Chief Minister. Both Zahir and Zamir actively took part in the campaign for the Assembly elections in the family's bastion, Ganderbal, from where their father contested and won.

They had joined him in electioneering even during the parliamentary polls, which Abdullah lost from north Kashmir's Baramulla Lok Sabha constituency.

In the Assembly polls, the duo was actively seen canvassing for their father, meeting and interacting with party workers in the Ganderbal Assembly segment.

Zahir and Zamir also gave public speeches when they addressed a party workers' gathering in the central Kashmir district. They recently attended the party's youth meeting at the NC headquarters in Jammu. They also visited the party's students' union office and interacted with youth activists.

However, both of them have said they have no plans of joining politics as they are too young and want to learn first.
