Jammu, Oct 18
Shiv Sena (UBT) Jammu-Kashmir unit has called the act of NC MLA Hilal Akbar Lone not standing during the national anthem is anti-national act and has advocated strict action like apology and dismissal.
In a press conference held at the party state centre office, state central office, state chief Manish Sahni has appealed to the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to take strict cognizance of the act of MLA Hilal Akbar, who remained seated at his place during the national anthem, and dismiss him.
Sahni said that no spark of separatism and fundamentalism should be tolerated.
Sahni alleged that this is a deliberate act. This MLA’s father Mohammad Akbar Lone has also raised the slogan of Pakistan Zindabad in the Jammu Kashmir Assembly during his tenure. It is worth mentioning that the swearing-in ceremony of Omar Abdullah was going on at the Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Center (SKICC) in Srinagar. When the national anthem was played during the swearing-in ceremony, Hilal Akbar Lone, the National Conference MLA elected from Sonwari Hajin, remained seated at his place.
