National Conference leadership distanced itself from Mohammad Akbar Lone who had raised ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans after Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs shouted anti-Pakistan slogans in the J-K Assembly.
NC President Farooq Abdullah condemned Lone’s action, while former J-K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah didn’t give much importance to the “misplaced slogans”. Omar took to Twitter saying, “We need to focus on the unfortunate developments in #SunjwanArmyCamp & not get distracted by misplaced slogans”.

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. 2/2.
