Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, father Dr Farooq Abdullah and the other senior leaders of the ruling National Conference (NC) are in Saudi Arabia to perform pilgrimage.
Other NC leaders include Nasir Wani, Javed Dar, Tanvir Sadiq, and Mushtaq Guroo. They are visiting the two holy cities of Madina and Mecca as part of their spiritual journey.
Upon their arrival in Madina, the leaders visited Masjid-e-Nabawi, the second holiest site in Islam, where they offered prayers, seeking divine guidance, and peace for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“Alhamdulillah, we have arrived in the blessed city of Madina. Prayed at Masjid-e-Nabawi, seeking guidance, mercy, and peace for all,” senior National Conference leader Tanvir Sadiq posted on Twitter.
Earlier Omar had also taken to Twitter to announce his pilgrimage, his first since taking over as the J&K chief minister. Earlier, in January also, Omar along with Dr Farooq Abdullah had performed Umrah.
