Speaker express concern over removal of security from NC headquarters

Recently Farooq Abdullah was attacked…everyone condemned the attack in strongest possible words. He escaped narrowly because Allah had to save him but immediately removing security from his office is not understood. What message do you want to give? What would people say?”
Omar Abdullahj&K chief minister
Barely, over a week ago Dr Abdullah survived an assassination bid. And, now withdrawing security from party office in Srinagar is quite surprising. One of our colleagues rightly stated in the House that Abdullah goes to party office twice to thrice in a week
He asks us to be with people… His attacker (Kamal Singh Jamwal) had clearly told police that he wanted to kill Abdullah for the past 20 years. I don’t think its proper to withdraw security (from party office). You can’t convince anyone on such a decision. So, I would request those at the helm of affairs to review their decision and see things in proper perspective. They should see that where the threat perception is more,
If they are not safe then how the national flag will remain safe. I hope that those at the helm of affairs look into it,

A country of 140 crore people like India rightfully deserves permanent membership in the United Nations, but such a position must be backed by justice within,
