Ramban/Jammu: National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday sidestepped a question on Congress leader Sonia Gandhi’s memoir, saying he was yet to read it.
Accompanied by Banihal MLA Sajjad Shaheen, Abdullah travelled from Srinagar to Jammu via the national highway and stopped at a roadside eatery at Peerah on the highway.
There, he was asked about Congress leader Gandhi’s book, “Belonging: A Journey of Love,” and the NC chief said he had not read it yet and would share his views after going through it.
He, however, said the road is in very good condition and added that the travel distance would further reduce once the under-construction tunnel is completed.
“Thank God, the road is in very good condition. There is one tunnel which is not yet complete. Once it is completed, I believe the distance will become even shorter. Thank God, the weather is also pleasant,” he told reporters at Ramban after enjoying a meal at the eatery.
Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary, meanwhile, said he met National Conference president Farooq Abdullah at his residence in Bathindi in Jammu tonight.
In a post on X, Choudhary said, “met President of the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference, Jenab Dr. Farooq Abdullah Sahab, at his residence in Bathindi, Jammu. Always enriching to interact with our respected party leader and draw inspiration from his guidance and leadership.”
