the countries have to save their chair, otherwise no one wants be at war. The common people unnecessarily get involved in it," Andrabi alleged. On the question of Yasin Malik, president of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), sharing the dais with the master mind of Mumbai terror attack, Hafiz Saeed, Andrabi said he should not have been allowed to visit Pakistan at the first place. "He went to Pakistan on the Indian passport, he should not have been given the permission. If you (government) have allowed him, he is in all likelihood going to meet Hafiz Sayeed," she said. Asked whether action should be taken against him, SDP President said it was for the government to decide. But Andrabi condemned Malik's stand on Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru's execution saying that it was "wrong". Earlier Andrabi, along with few others of her party, claimed to have met with members of an NGO from Pakistan at the 918 stone and exchange pleasantries with them.
