Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah was on Wednesday again summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the multi crore Jammu and Kashmir Cricket (JKCA) scam of 2012.This is the second time during this week that Dr Farooq has been summoned by the ED in Srinagar. On Monday he was questioned in connection with the scam for six hours.
The 83-year-old president of the National Conference (NC) alleged that he was not even allowed to take lunch during questioning.
However, all mainstream political parties, particularly signatures of the Gupkar Declaration, now named as “People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration” described it as a political vendetta for demanding restoration of special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
After his questioning, Abdullah on Monday told reporters that the resolve of the people of Jammu and Kashmir for restoration of Article 370 will continue, even if he (Abdullah) is dead.
To another question on whether the ED questioning would weaken his resolve to fight for seeking restoration of Article 370, Abdullah said it was not only his resolve, but the resolve of people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The fight for restoration of Article 370 will continue, whether he is dead or alive, added Abdullah.
