Former J&K CM and National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah was stopped by the administration from leaving his residence to offer prayers at Srinagar’s Hazratbal shrine on the occasion of Milad Un Nabi SAW, the party claimed.
"J&K administration has blocked the residence of party president Dr Farooq Abdullah and stopped him from offering prayers at Dargah Hazratbal. JKNC condemns this infringement of fundamental right to pray, especially on the auspicious occasion of Milad Un Nabi Saw," the NC tweeted.

Farooq Abdullah was only released in March after being under house arrest since the Centre’s abrogation of J&K special status on August 5 last year.
Peoples’ Democratic Party Chief Mehbooba Mufti criticised the J&K administration for allegedly preventing Mr Abdullah for visiting the shrine.
Preventing Farooq sahab from offering prayers on Milad Un Nabi SAW at Hazratbal exposes GOI’s deep paranoia & their iron fist approach towards J&K. Its a gross violation of our rights & is highly condemnable

On Thursday, Mehbooba Mufti was turned back from her way to meet party leaders who were detained by the police protesting against new land laws in J&K.
