Ghanti Bajao: Why Farooq Abdullah heckled in Srinagar for chanting 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'?

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah was heckled during Eid prayers at the 17th century Hazratbal mosque here today, two days after he chanted "Bharat Mata ki Jai" during a prayer meeting for former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
The National Conference leader remained unfazed and continued with his prayers, saying the jeering and booing were by his "own people" who were misguided.
A section of the gathering shouted slogans of "Farooq Abdullah go back" and "Hum kya chahte, azaadi" at the Hazratbal mosque, where Abdullah has traditionally offered Eid prayers.
When a section of slogan shouting youths tried to approach Abdullah, who was sitting on a chair in the front row because of his ill-health, some people joined hands to make a human chain to prevent them from doing so.
Security personnel also threw a ring around the Lok Sabha MP from Srinagar to protect him.
