JAMMU: Governor Satya Pal Malik on Thursday said any party supporting the separatists is anti-national, in an apparent reference to PDP and National Conference who criticized the ban on Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI).
Without naming the two, the Governor said, “The political parties which are coming out in support of banned organizations are making their position clear and are siding with separatists.”
“Any party or person supporting separatists is anti-national and is playing into the hands of terrorists and Pakistan,” Malik said at a high level meeting convened here to review the law and order situation in the aftermath of the grenade attack on a bus stand in the heart of the city in which a teenager was killed and 32 others were injured.
