| We stand by you in difficult times': Mamata Banerjee to Farooq Abdullah on his birthday | | | New Delhi: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday assured support in 'difficult times' to former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah on his birthday. She also wished him good health and urged him to stay positive.
Mamata took to Twitter to wish the National Conference (NC) chief and wrote, "Birthday wishes to Farooq Abdullah Ji. These are difficult times for you. We stand by you. Please stay positive. We pray for your good health." She also tagged his son and former J&K CM Omar Abdullah in her tweet.
Mamata and Farooq Abdullah share a good rapport with each other. The two leaders shared the stage earlier this year in January in Kolkata at the United India Rally.
Farooq Abdullah was detained under the Public Safety Act (PSA) after the removal of special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 on August 5.
While the NC chief continues to remain under house arrest nearly three months after the abrogation of Article 370, Omar is housed at the Hari Niwas state guest house in Srinagar.
