Srinagar:
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah
resumed office on Friday after state Governor N N Vohra dismissed
PDP's allegation that he was involved in the 2006 sex scandal.
On Thursday, Vohra rejected Omar's resignation, and
asked him to continue as the Chief Minister.
"The Governor has advised the Chief Minister that,
based on the information supplied to him by the Union Home Ministry,
there is no basis for Omar seeking to resign," the Governor's
spokesperson said.
Omar had resigned on July 28 after PDP leader and
former Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffar Beig had levelled the
allegation that Omar was involved in the infamous Srinagar sex
scandal.
A leading television channel report, however, stated
Omar had not resigned as Chief Minister of the Jammu and Kashmir on
Tuesday instead he had just sent a conditional letter urging
acceptance of his resignation if proven guilty in the sex scandal
case.
Meanwhile, Omar blamed the then PDP chief Mufi
Mohammed Sayeed for maintaining a mysterious silence when the
scandal first surfaced in 2006 because his own people were involved.
He blamed that Sayeed was "scared" his government
would fall as his own men were also "involved" in the scam which
came to light during 2006 after the arrest of a woman.
Though the Centre has clarified that Omar's name has
not figured in the CBI report on the sex scandal, the PDP has
demanded a judicial inquiry in the case, saying that it was not
satisfied with the probe. |
