Srinagar, April 16,
National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has strongly reacted to former RAW chief AS Dulat’s latest book, ‘The CM and the Spy’, calling it "full of so many inaccuracies.” Abdullah expressed disappointment, saying it’s unfortunate that Dulat would write such things despite considering him a friend.
Key Points of Contention
– *Denial of Claims*: Abdullah specifically refuted Dulat’s claim that he asked him whom to make Chief Minister when forming the government in 1996, calling it "completely false.”
– *Disappointment and Betrayal*: Abdullah’s reaction suggests a sense of betrayal, implying that Dulat’s actions were unexpected and unwarranted.
Implications
The controversy surrounding Dulat’s book highlights the complexities of political relationships and the challenges of memoir writing. As a former RAW chief, Dulat’s writings carry significant weight, and Abdullah’s denial underscores the importance of verifying claims and ensuring accuracy in such works.
