Taking a jibe at Mustafa Kamal over his statement that neither India nor Pakistan loves the people of the Kashmir Valley, the National Panthers Party (NPP) on Sunday said that the 'crazy' National Conference leader should go to jail.
"Today he (Mustafa Kamal) does not want to even accept that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. I think either he has gone crazy or he should go to jail," NPP chief Bhim Singh told ANI.
"One must understand who this man is. He is a second son of Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah. He was a nationalist and secularist leader of this country," he added.
Kamal had yesterday stoked a controversy with his remark that neither India nor Pakistan loves the people of the valley.
"By heart, both of them do not treat us as their own. Neither India nor Pakistan loves us ... In my opinion, Allah has destined independence for us and we will get it," Kamal said in Srinagar after paying tributes to his father and National Conference founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah on his 110th birth anniversary.
