Srinagar, August 27: Terming Farooq Abdullah’s statement that most of the people in Kashmir wanted to be with India as “baseless” and “misleading”, Moderate Hurriyat Conference Chairman Mirwaiz Umer Farooq today said the Union minister had made it to save his post and his party’s government in Jammu and Kashmir.
“I feel ashamed that Abdullah, being a citizen of Jammu and Kashmir made such a baseless and far-from-truth statement in the Indian Parliament. The statement was made by him to prove his loyalty to India, just to safeguard his interests and perks besides saving his party’s government in the state”, the Mirwaiz said addressing a Friday congregation at Jamia Masjid in old city.
