NIA should probe Indian Govt. possibly funding separatists: Farooq Abdullah

National Confrence leader and Member of Parliament Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday said that while National Investigative Agency (NIA) has probed funding of separatist group and involvement of Pakistan in the same, it must also investigate whether the Indian government ever funded them or not.
