Lal Singh attacks NC

NEW DELHI, May 3:A Congress member in Lok Sabha today attacked alliance partner National Conference for demanding autonomy for Kashmir saying any attempts to �divide the State� should be taken serious note of.An emotionally charged Lal Singh�s attack on NC for its demand to have a separate (Sadr-e-Riyasat) Prime Minister got instant support from BJP members, including Haren Pathak and Arujn Ram Meghwal who associated themselves with him.�How dare someone demand a separate Prime Minister...We are part and parcel of India and no one can change it. This is a conspiracy,� Singh said during Zero Hour amid thumping of desks by BJP members.He said there should be �no autonomy� or �self rule� for the State as demanded by some sections.No NC member was present in the House when the issue was raised.�They are trying to divide the State. Don�t allow Jammu and Kashmir to be divided. Such alliance partners should be taken serious note of,� he said in an apparent reference to NC member Mehboob Beg�s remarks in the House yesterday favouring greater autonomy and Sadr-e-Riyasat for the State.Lal Singh, whose party is a coalition partner of the Omar Abdullah-led Government, also attacked NC for not recruiting special police officers to deal with terrorism.
