SRINAGAR : Former chief minister and vice president of National conference Omar Abdullah said that Mehbooba Mufti is responsible for the summons which are being issued to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq by the National Investigation Agency.
During election rally in Kupwara, Omar said, “NIA filed an FIR against Mirwaiz in 2017 when Mehbooba Mufti was the Chief Minister of the state so Mehbooba Mufti alone is responsible for the notices NIA is sending to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.”
He also added that the way Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) has been revoked from Arunachal Pradesh, it should be done away from Jammu and Kashmir also.
Recently, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) issued a third notice to Mirwaiz in an alleged terror funding case asking him to produce himself before the agency on April 8 on the pretext of providing him adequate security cover in New Delhi.
Mirwaiz, in a recent Friday sermon had said that New Delhi cannot intimidate Kashmiri by issuing summons. Mirwaiz was referring to the summon of the NIA which was issued to him asking him to present himself before the agency in New Delhi. (PTK)
