Fight for restoration of Article 370 will continue: Farooq


Srinagar, Oct 19 (IANS): Former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah said the fight for the restoration of Article 370 will continue after he was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for seven hours in Srinagar on Monday.

"They have their job to do, I have mine, there is nothing to be worried about, I am not worried, we have to move ahead," he told waiting journalists outside the ED office. "We have a long political battle, that battle will continue whether Farooq Abdullah is alive or Farooq Abdullah is dead.

"Our resolve will never change even if I have to be hanged," he asserted.

Earlier the former J&K Chief Minister was called for questioning at the ED office in Srinagar in connection with alleged misappropriation of about 43 crore rupees when he was Chairman of J&K Cricket Association.

The BCCI had reportedly given funds to the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association from 2002 to 2011 as a grant for the promotion of cricket in J&K, out of which Rs. 43.69 crore were allegedly siphoned off.

Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said there were no raids being conducted at the residence of Farooq Abdullah and the summoning of his father by the ED is just 'political vendetta.'

"The party will be responding to this ED summons shortly. This is nothing less then political vendetta coming days after the formation of the People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration. To set the record straight no raids are being conducted at Dr Sahib's residence." Omar tweeted.

    He and his family want to enjoy freebies and deprive the people of the state . 370 was a temporary provision which should have been removed long ago. Govt. must focus on development and people centric initiatives to integrate them into the mainstream... These self centered parties need to be shown the door by the public.

    The country is painfully aware of how central agencies are being misused to target Opposition leaders and parties.This is the Ugly face of Modi's Maan Ki Baat and his innocent pretentions behind TV cameras in his repeated address to the nation.

    A Tweet from Subramaniam Swamy on 22nd September was viral on the social media. “ When I Tweeted two years ago that Adani was a “Trapeze Artist” in Finance, There were Howls from BJP’s Fake ID Specialists. Today The Indian Express has published a US Investigation in Seychelles that Adani has been engaged in Suspicious “ Financial Laundering” and Sanitisation.

    Will the centre show the same alarcity in ordering probe by the central agencies(ED/CBI/NIA/NAU/IB/Customs) on Adani as swiftly as they have done with the Gold Smuggling Case in Kerala.

    For those who firmly believe in the integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of India, removal of Art. 370 is neither undemocratic (passed by a bill in parliament) nor unconstitutional (a temporary provision in the constitution awaiting abrogation), and an act that unifies and consolidates the nation can never ever be anti India.
