Members of European Parliament Visit J&K 'Conducted Tour': Ghulam Nabi

New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who hails from Jammu and Kashmir, on Tuesday termed the visit of Members of European Parliament to the Valley as a “conducted tour” and criticized the central government for not allowing the Indian Parliamentarians to travel there.

He was speaking while participating in a protest here on Kashmir where political leaders continue to be under detention since August 5, when J&K’s special status was abolished.

“It is a conducted tour, I don’t have any objection to the European Union Delegation visiting Jammu and Kashmir. The objection is that MPs of this country are not being allowed to visit,” the former Union Minister said.

He recalled that he has been denied permission thrice to visit the state and once with all-party delegation of which Rahul Gandhi was also a part.

Every time, he was sent back from the airport, the Congress leader said, adding “Finally, I was allowed to visit the Valley after the Supreme Court’s intervention.” (IANS)
