Srinagar: National Conference (NC) has said that MLA Akbar Lone’s slogan of ‘Pakistan Zindabaad’ is totally unacceptable and the party. The NC, which is the main opposition party, has distanced itself from their senior member’s remark.
Lone had chanted ‘Pakistan Zindabaad’ after BJP members indulged in ant-Pakistan sloganeering.
Omar Abdullah, the working president of the party in a tweet mentioned that people should not waste their time in ‘misplaced slogans’.
We need to focus on the unfortunate developments in #SunjwanArmyCamp & not get distracted by misplaced slogans.
