Congress leader P.L. Punia on Sunday said Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed should withdraw his support from the BJP if he is unhappy with the Centre's stand on the NSA-level talks.

"If Mufti Mohammad Sayeed is unhappy, he should express his unhappiness with the NDA Government at the Centre and unhappiness can be expressed by withdrawing support from the NDA Government at the Centre and refusing to accept the support of BJP in Jammu and Kashmir in formation of the government," Punia told ANI.

The Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister had earlier expressed his disappointment over cancellation of the NSA-level talks with Pakistan and expressed hope that the two nations would soon re-engage in meaningful dialogue.
