Srinagar, March 6 -- During discussions on the Motion of Thanks on the LG's address, Lone stated that the LG's address appears to be a love letter from the NC to the BJP.

"You have sent many love letters to the BJP, and this one is from the Assembly," Lone remarked.

Reading out from NC's manifesto, Lone heavily criticized the ruling party for not mentioning Article 370, Article 35A, the Public Safety Act, the release of political prisoners and the termination of employees, in the LG's address.

"It (LG) should have been a medley of aspirations and grievances, but the aspiration part is missing," he said.

Lone said the LG's address is a "blatant betrayal" with the people of J&K and a move to normalize the changes made on August 5, 2019....
