"Yes, I said it. It is my personal view, I said it in the house and I don't think anyone should have a problem with it," Lone was quoted as saying by ANI. Reports suggested that politicians associated with the BJP were raising slogans against Pakistain, accusing it of involvement in the Saturday morning attack on the Sunjuwan army camp in Jammu. A National Conference spokesperson while quoting party president Farooq Abdullah said that Lone's action in the assembly was "unacceptable" and the party "disowns and condemns his remark".
