Mother, sister visit Omar Abdullah on 50th birthday

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah’s mother and sister visited him in the Srinagar sub-jail to wish him on his 50th birthday on Tuesday.

Booked under the Public Safety Act (PSA), junior Abdullah’s sister Safia Abdullah Khan and mother Molly Abdullah went to see him in the Hari Niwas palace, an interrogation centre that was turned into a guest house and now serves as a sub-jail for the NC leader since August 5 last year on Srinagar’s Gupkar Road.

It was a quiet celebration for the Abdullahs, as NC president Farooq Abdullah remains in detention in his own house under the PSA.
