Fact Check: Farooq Abdullah started singing bhajans in fear after the abrogation of Article 370?

Jammu and Kashmir has always been a burning issue. Events happening here have a great impact on the national scale and attract the attention of the people. The present central government removed Article 370 found in the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir by amending it. Since then the issue of Kashmir has been in more headlines. At the same time, the leaders of Kashmir, who are called Gupkar organization, also remain in a lot of discussion. Among these leaders are former CM Farooq Abdullah, his son and former CM Omar Abdullah and former CM Mehbooba Mufti. These leaders remain in the media headlines due to their statements.

A video of Farooq Abdullah is becoming increasingly viral on social media. It can be seen in this video that he is singing a bhajan.
