New Delhi: National Conference patron Farooq Abdullah on Monday denied charges in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) scam.
"The damage of my image was unfortunate. I have not taken a single peny from JKCA. When accounts sealed, association had to take loan of 1.91 crore interest free for work. This money has been paid back. Subject is clear. Resolution cleared, loan taken and paid back," he told CNN-IBN.
"Mehbooba Mufti's father too accused me of bungling a trust's funds. I am too clean for her to rub dirt on me," he added.
The embezzlement of several crores of rupees was detected in JKCA funds a few days ago, following which then treasurer Ehsan Mirza and former general secretary and current Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Saleem Khan were sacked from the Association.
Farooq Abdullah also said that Badals have invited him and his son Omar for the swearing-in ceremony in Punjab. "I will go if time permits," he said.
