Farooq Abdullah not beneficiary of Roshni Act, news attributed to sources spread with malicious intent: NC


Srinagar, Nov 24 (KNS): National Conference on Tuesday refuted the allegation that its party president Dr Farooq Abdullah is involved in Roshni Land scam, saying the news in the media suggesting so was completely false.
Party spokesman tweeted, “The news attributing to sources that Dr Farooq Abdullah is a beneficiary of the Roshni Act is completely false and is being spread with a malicious intent. Dr Farooq Abdullah has not availed of the Roshni Scheme for either his residence in Srinagar or in Jammu and anyone who says otherwise is lying. The fact that they are using sources to plant this story shows that it has no legs to stand on”.
On Monday, the Jammu and Kashmir administration published on its website the list of beneficiaries under the Roshni Act. The beneficiaries include former State ministers, retired civil servants, politicians and business tycoons. (KNS)
