Srinagar/July 30: National Conference Vice President and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into ‘fake’ government orders circulated on the social media.
Taking to micro blogging social networking site twitter Omar wrote “this is a very serious matter raised by the Governor. Fake orders were circulated under the signature of senior government officers. This is not something that can be dismissed with a simple sound byte.The CBI must be asked to investigate these fake orders & their origin”.
Earlier in the day, Governor Satya Pal Malik while trying to allay fears over the reported plans to abrogate Article 35A had said that the government orders being circulated on social media in Kashmir from past few days were invalid.
“There has been no valid order by the government. All the orders are invalid,” Governor Malik told reporters on the sidelines of an official event at SKICC in Srinagar.
