 Early Times Report
Jammu, June 25: In July 2016, the Jammu and Kashmir government had asked Delhi High Court to evict former CM Omar Abdullah's estranged wife Payal Abdullah because the then Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti needs a house in Lutyens' Delhi. Omar Abdullah was alloted the VIII category house by the Ministry of Urban Development, when he was MoS for Commerce and Industry. Recently the Delhi High Court (HC) had stayed the eviction order of Payal. Payal has two sons and they had been living there. In an affidavit, the government had told HC that it does not have a proper residence to house its Chief Minister as her security is imperative in times when violence and riots have broken out all over the state. |
