Farooq Abdullah denied permission to meet Sanjay Singh in Srinagar
Srinagar: Indian police prevented former chief minister of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir Farooq Abdullah from meeting AAP Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh at Circuit House in Srinagar.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the police had locked the gates of the Circuit House as the AAP MP had plans to protest against the arrest and slapping of black law Public Safety Act (PSA) on Meraj Malik, the MLA from Doda.
The police did not allow Farooq Abdullah from entering the premises. “This is the situation here … there is an elected government in place but the LG seems to own it. The nation must be made aware of this situation,” Farooq Abdullah said.
The National Conference president said Singh had not come to pelt stones or fire guns. “A man wants to talk within the Constitution but he is not allowed to … He (Singh) has been my friend in Parliament and you are not permitting even to exchange courtesies. This is not your fault but of the LG,” he said.
Singh on the other side climbed the gate asking the police personnel for reasons for not allowing Farooq Abdullah to meet him.
“He is (former) MP, several times been the CM and I am also an MP … what is the problem? What is the crime? Why are you not allowing us to meet,” Singh asked.
A video has also gone viral regarding the incident in which Farooq Abdullah can be clearly heard saying, “There is an elected government here but it seems that everything is under the ownership of the Lieutenant Governor.
