Former Congress leader and Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) President Ghulam Nab in sensational claim claimed that former J&K Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah had late-night meetings with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
He also accused Abdullah and his son of having double standards, as they “say one thing in Srinagar, another in Jammu, and something else in Delhi”.
However, in another interview, Azad clarified that he never claimed that Farooq Abdullah met PM Modi or Home Minister Amit Shah at night, reported ANI. At that time, he said that his statement was based on information from sources.
“I never claimed that he (Farooq Abdullah) met him (PM Modi). I said that through sources in Delhi, it has come to be known that he tries to meet central leadership that too only at night. I never said that he met or got an appointment,” ANI quoted Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Reacting to Azad’s remarks, Farooq Abdullah quoted by ANI said , If I have to meet PM Modi or Union Home Minister Amit Shah, I will meet them during the day, why should I meet them at night?…what is the reason that he has thought of defaming Farooq Abdullah? When no one wanted to give him Rajya Sabha seat, I was the one who gave him Rajya Sabha seat… but today he is saying all this. He should tell the names of his agents who are sitting at the residence of PM and Union Home Minister. He should tell people so that they can understand the truth…”
Taking to X , Omar Abdullah, National Conference Vice- president and and Former J&K Chief Minister wrote , Wah bhai wah Ghulam Nabi Azad, so much bile today. Where is the Ghulam that was begging us for Rajya Sabha seats in J&K as recently as 2015? “Abdullahs knew about 370” yet we were detained for more than 8 months including under PSA & you were free, the only ex CM in J&K free after 5th Aug. “Abdullahs meet secretly” yet my father is the one thrown out of his Govt house when he wasn’t MP & you are allowed to keep your ministerial bungalow? “Abdullahs say one thing in Kashmir & another in Delhi” yet PM cries for you in Rajya Sabha & criticises us in every speech. Let’s not forget the Padma award for which you agreed to leave Congress & help BJP in Chenab valley. Who is azad & who is ghulam, time will tell & people will decide.
