Srinagar August  20(PTK)After abrogation of Article 370 last year, the National Conference (NC) patron and incumbent parliamentarian, Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Thursday held a meeting with four of the party leaders who were also detained post the August 05, 2019 decision.

Four senior party leaders including NC’s General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar, provincial president Kashmir Nasir Aslam Wani, former minister Abdul Rahim Rather and senior leader Muhammad Shafi Uri were part of the meeting.

D Abdullah told media persons that today’s meeting was aimed to see whether his colleagues can come out of their homes after one year and 15 days and I am grateful to see them free today and hope it’s not just one time.

The future course of action would be made public once the leaders will sit together and hold discussions and that is possible only once all the leaders are set free, we will sit together and discuss the issues properly,” he said.

“We will have the All Parties Meeting on the Gupkar declaration. We are not running away from that, he said that on issues that took place since August 5 last, they are not going to remain silent in any way. “Let people come out. The day people are out, we will sit down and Farooq Abdullah will say what we are going to do.”

I am in constant touch with Mehbooba Mufti. I am concerned about her prolonged detention, he said, adding that we do want to see her free and other leaders of Jammu and Kashmir..

People here are facing miserable conditions as business is zero, tourism is zero and there is suffering everywhere in Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.(PTK)
