Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah met his father and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah here on Thursday morning, hours after security personnel foiled an assassination attempt on the veteran leader at a wedding function in the city.
Leaders cutting across party lines also gathered at the former chief minister’s residence in Bathindi here to enquire about his well-being and demanded a thorough probe into the incident.
Abdullah had a narrow escape when a gunman opened fire at him from behind while he was leaving the function at Greater Kailash on the outskirts of Jammu on Wednesday night.
The chief minister drove straight to the NC chief’s residence after arriving in Jammu from Delhi this morning. He spent nearly an hour with his father, who received a stream of visitors, including leaders from the BJP, the Congress and social activists.
Omar’s sons — Zamir and Zahir — also reached Bhatindi from Srinagar to meet their grandfather.
