'Never Trusted Dulat': Farooq Abdullah's Daughter Slams Ex-RAW Chief Over Article 370 Claims

Former Research and Analysis Wing chief AS Dulat, in his recent book 'The Chief Minister and the Spy', has generated a storm in a teacup for the ruling National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir by writing that 'former Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah was secretly on board when Article 370 was removed'.

The ruling National Conference (NC) has dismissed Mr Dulat's assertion, saying 'this is a figment of fiction', but political leaders in J&K have already started debating and questioning the stand purportedly taken by Mr Abdullah.

Referring to Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah's meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi days before the abrogation of Article 370, which granted special status to the erstwhile state, Mr Dulat wrote: "What transpired during the meeting, nobody will ever know. Farooq has certainly never mentioned it."
