Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra dismissed PDP’s allegation that Omar Abdullah was involved in the 2006 sex scandal and asked him to continue discharging his responsibilities as Chief Minister.

The Governor while turning down Omar’s offer to step down said there was no truth in the allegations levelled against him in the assembly by PDP leader Muzaffar Hussein Beigh about his alleged involvement in the sex scandal.

“The Governor has advised the Chief Minister that,based on the information supplied to him by the Union Home Ministry,there is no basis for Omar seeking to resign,” the Governor’s spokesperson said.

Omar had resigned on July 28 after Beigh alleged on the floor of the House saying the Chief Minister was an accused in the scandal.

The Governor advised the Chief Minister to most vigorously devote himself to discharging responsibilities of J and K Chief Minister.
