National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah today demanded a CBI probe into the claim of former Army chief V K Singh that "certain ministers" in Jammu and Kashmir are given money by the Army for "stability" and that this has been going on since Independence.

"I think it's a very, very terrible statement that he has made. It must be investigated. The Army has nothing to do with funding of political parties.

"They should never do this. The Army should be kept apolitical," the Union Minister said. adding, "And if he has done that, he has done something extremely wrong."

Under attack over reports that attempts were made to topple the Jammu and Kashmir government during his tenure as Army chief, Gen (retd) Singh has claimed that accusations against him were false and motivated.
