TIMELY INTERVENTION by Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has brought smile on the face of a young Kashmiri footballer, who was denied a passport by the state government as his father was found to be involved in terrorism. Baba was lucky in the sense that CM Omar Abdullah came to know of his predicament and decided to come to his rescue. The young footballer urgently needed the passport to travel to Spain and Brazil for attending special football training sessions with European clubs.
It was revealed that after the intervention of the Abdullah, the CID department cleared the name of the footballer for issuance of a passport. The CM is believed to have said that the young man could not be punished for the crime of other kith and kin.
