Jammu: The National Conference (NC) has disowned and condemned the remarks of its MLA in assembly and termed them as “completely unacceptable” to the party.
NC MLA from Sonawari Akbar Lone had earlier in the assembly shouted Pakistan zindabad.
“Just spoke to @JKNC_ President Dr. Farooq Abdullah Sahib. Dr. Sahib and the entire party is of the unequivocal stand that NC MLA from Sonawari Mr. Akbar Lone has spoken out of turn and his slogans in the Legislative Assembly are completely unacceptable to the party,” NC spokesperson Junaid Azeem Mattu tweeted.
In another tweet, Mattu wrote: “Hon’ble @JKNC_ President has said the NC MLA should not forget that he belongs to a party that rejected the two nation theory and he should also remember the oath he swears in the name of God at the beginning of his terms. The party disowns and condemns his remarks.”
