This was the second meeting between Farooq and his son Omar after the senior Abdullah was set free from detention on Friday last. He was accompanied by his wife Molly Abdullah and daughter Sofia Abdullah.
Official sources said that the 82-year-old leader had requested the Jammu and Kashmir authority for permission to see his son for the 2nd time in seven months and the same was granted, officials said, adding that the two were together for about an hour.
