National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah wished a speedy recovery to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after she was injured when the helicopter she was flying in made an emergency landing due to bad weather.
The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister extended the wish to Banerjee, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo, on behalf of his father Farooq Abdullah.
"I join my father in wishing @MamataOfficial ji a speedy recovery. We pray that she is blessed with a long and healthy life so that she may continue to work to improve the lives of the people of West Bengal and the rest of the nation," Omar Abdullah wrote on Twitter.
Banerjee suffered ligament injuries in the left knee and left hip joint when she tried to deboard the helicopter that made an emergency landing at the Sevoke air base near Siliguri in the northern part of West Bengal due to bad weather on Tuesday afternoon.
She returned to Kolkata by a flight from the Bagdogra airport and was taken to the state-run SSKM Hospital where an MRI was conducted on her, an official said.
