Srinagar: Senior National Conference leader Akbar Lone while addressing a rally on Saturday had said that ‘if anybody abuses Pakistan, he will abuse him ten times in return.’
According to reports, Abkar who is NC’s Baramulla candidate raised pro-Pakistan slogans.
“The other side of this is a Muslim country, it should remain prosperous and successful. Our friendship with them should intensify. India and Pakistan should have a friendship with each other and I am an admirer of this friendship. If anyone will abuse them once, I will abuse him ten times from here,” said Lone.
This is not for the first time Lone has given statements in favour of Pakistan.
Last year in February during the session of the Legislative Assembly, Lone raised pro Pakistan slogans when the members of the BJP raised anti-Pakistan slogans.
While talking to the reporters outside the house, Lone had said, “I am a Muslim first. My sentiments were hurt when they (BJP MLAs) were shouting “Pakistan Murdabad” slogans. I couldn’t control my emotions and raised Pakistan Zindabad slogans.”
