Farooq Abdullah, the current Minister of Renewable Energy, has supported the verdict of expulsion against Christian missionaries, issued by an Islamic court of Kashmir. The Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC) has sent an official letter to the Prime Minister to request his removal from the government cabinet.

Srinagar (AsiaNews) - The Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC) asked the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to expel Farooq Abdullah (pictured), current Minister of Renewable Energy, from the Council of ministers for "anti-constitutional statements." Presented yesterday, the official letter refers to the ambiguous statements made by the Minister to journalists. Commenting on the verdict of expulsion decreed by an Islamic court against five Christian missionaries in Kashmir, Abdullah said: "The promotion of activities of conversion is unconstitutional. We must respect the other's religion. " According to the GCIC, such statements are "a disgrace to the entire government" and "humiliation for the country."  read more »

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Farooq Abdullah: The Main Culprit

After the demise of Sheikh Abdullah, it was his son, Farooq Abdullah, who
took over as the helmsman of the State of Jammu and Kashmir. The struggle for power within the National Conference was virtually stifled when Mrs. Indira Gandhi through her personal intervention cleared the decks for Farooq to take over the mantle of his father. Sheikh Abdullah had already declared him as his heir by investing him with the presidentship of the National Conference. Farooq would have faced tough opposition from forces within the organisation had Mrs. Gandhi not set the stage for his mid-night coronation. And thus began the saga of precipitous disaster for the state.
Farooq was leagues away from politics. Lacking in depth and maturity, his story in politics was abominable. Though he was the son of Sheikh Abdullah, yet he was not taken very seriously by all hues of people. Before entering the political scene of Kashmir, he had lived for a considerable period in London, where he had formed, not tenuous, but firm links with some prominent secessionist organisations operating on the soil of Britain. The chief among such organisations was the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front. 1 Having formed clandestine links with the leaders of such outfits, Farooq seemed bent upon wreaking revenge on the Indian leaders who had wronged his father. There are authentic reports available establishing Farooq's contacts, may be clandestine, with Amanullah Khan, Hashim Qureshi and Maqbool Butt.2  read more »
