National Conference president Farooq Abdullah met his son and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah, who is under detention and the leader of opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday, a day after he was released from seven-month-long detention, but refrained from making any political comment as promised upon his release.
Abdullah was accompanied by his wife Molly Abdullah and daughter Safia Abdullah to Hariniwas in Srinagar, where Omar Abdullah, the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, has been detained under the Public Safety Act. PSA was slapped on Omar Abdullah last month after a six- month-long preventive detention beginning August 5 ended.
It was the first face to face meeting between the father and the son since then.
After meeting Omar, Farooq Abdullah drove to his Gupkar residence in the neighbourhood, where he was paid an hour-long visit by the leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Azad later addressed media with Farooq on his side and said he had conveyed his anguish to Farooq Abdullah over his detention.
