West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday extended birthday wishes to the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah and assured him of standing by him during ‘difficult times’. 

Bengal CM Banarjee also urged Abdullah to stay positive and prayed for his good health.

"Birthday wishes to Farooq Abdullah Ji. These are difficult times for you. We stand by you. Please stay positive. We pray for your good health @OmarAbdullah," Banerjee tweeted.

The former Jammu and Kashmir CM was detained under the Public Safety Act (PSA) after the abrogation of Article 370.
