NC Leader Muhammad Akbar Lone Says He Will Abuse Those Who Hurl Abuses at Pakistan

Kupwara, March 25: National Conference (NC) leader Muhammad Akbar Lone has said that he will be abusing those who hurl abuses at Pakistan."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," he said while addressing a public rally on Saturday. Yogi Adityanath Calls Congress Candidate 'Masood Azhar's Son-in-Law' While Campaigning at Saharanpur for Lok Sabha Elections 2019.

Lone, who is also NC's candidate from Kupwara parliamentary seat, raised pro-Pakistan slogans. He has made provocative statements in the past. In February last year, the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly witnessed a ruckus with Lone raising pro-Pakistan slogans in response to BJP's slogans against the neighboring country. In December 2017, Lone had courted another controversy by claiming that BJP and People's Democratic Party (PDP) leaders eat beef and pork together.
