Senior National Conference (NC) leader Mustafa Kamal on Thursday said that there are militant camps in Pakistan.

Reacting to the Kupwara incident in which three army soldiers were killed, he said, "Yes, there are terrorist camps in Pakistan which launch terror attacks in Kashmir. Twenty-seven years have passed since militancy first struck Kashmir Valley."

He, however, squarely blamed India for the terror attacks as "it has not addressed the Kashmir issue".

Commenting on the arrest of Dukhtaran-e-Millat founder Asiya Andrabi, the NC leader said, "The sky will not fall with the arrest of Andrabi."

Andrabi was arrested on Wednesday and is being kept in a women cell at Ram Bag Police Station. There is no confirmation about the charges levelled against her.
