Jammu Kashmir National Congress (JKNC) leader Farooq Abdullah was heckled and shown shoes during Eid prayers in Srinagar on Wednesday (22August), Indian Express has reported.
The people present in the gathering were unhappy with Farooq Abdullah chanting Bharat Mata Ki Jai and Jai Hind while he paid tribute to late Indian prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee at an all-party meeting on Monday (22 August).
Here is a video of Abdullah being heckled:
The leader was forced to leave the premises as the protesting youth disrupted the congregation with their sloganeering. As he was leaving the premises, youth shouted “shame shame” and “azaadi” and took their shoes in hands.
Farooq Abdullah had earlier described Atal Bihari Vajpayee as the “king of all people’s hearts” during Vajpayee’s prayer meeting in Delhi on Friday (17 Friday).

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
