New Delhi: Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav on Tuesday sought to know from the government when former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and sitting MP Farooq Abdullah would be released from custody.
Yadav raised the issue of Abdullah’s detention by the Jammu and Kashmir administration in Lok Sabha during the Question Hour.
“Our colleague Farooq Abdullah used to sit with me. When will he come to the House,” he asked.
Abdullah was the first to be put under house arrest on August 5, 2019 following the abrogation of the Article 370 and bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories.
In September, the 82-year-old leader was slapped with the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) and he continues to be under house arrest.
