NEW DELHI: Union Minister Jitendra Singh today said chief ministers in Jammu and Kashmir often turned into “semi-separatists” when out of power, a remark seen as a veiled attack on NC leader and former CM Farooq Abdullah.
Singh, questioning the “conviction” of separatists, said they drew privileges such as air ticket concessions, sought subsidised treatment in hospitals or “lobbied” for their offspring in Delhi’s “corridors of power”.
“Despite this, they refused to abide by the Constitution of India,” the minister said. (AGENCIES)
