Srinagar, March 21: Sama Shabir, the daughter of jailed separatist leader Shabir Ahmad Shah, on Thursday distanced herself from her father’s ideology and declared allegiance to India as a citizen of the country.
Through a public notice published in a local newspaper, 23-year-old Sama Shabir called herself a loyal citizen of India as she distanced herself from her father’s Democratic Freedom Party and its ideology.
In the notice, she said, “I am a loyal citizen of India and I am not affiliated to any person or organisation which is against the sovereignty of the Union of India."
Shabir Shah is presently lodged in jail in connection with a money laundering case related to terror funding in Kashmir.
