Srinagar, March 10 -- Speaking in the Assembly, Abdullah stated that the event was a private function held at a private hotel, with no government infrastructure involved.

He said the administration has been directed to investigate if the organizers violated any laws. "They have been told that the matter should be handed over to the police if any violation has been done," he said, as per news agency KNO.

Abdullah also questioned the decision to allow the Leader of the Opposition Sunil Sharma to visit Kathua while denying permission to the Deputy Chief Minister.

"If the situation was so bad in Kathua, why was the LoP allowed to visit there but the Deputy CM was denied permission?" he asked.
