JKPCC president condemns attack on Farooq Abdullah

JAMMU: (Mar 12) Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee president Tariq Hameed Karra on Thursday strongly condemned the murderous attempt on former chief minister Farooq Abdullah in Jammu late Wednesday night and said “those entrusted with maintaining law and order must be held accountable”.

Abdullah had a narrow escape when a gunman allegedly opened fire at him from behind while he was leaving a marriage function at Greater Kailash on the outskirts of Jammu on Wednesday night.

Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary and advisor to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Nasir Aslam Wani, were also accompanying Abdullah when the incident occurred.
