Sajjad Gani Lone, the head of the People’s Conference and a former minister in the PDP-BJP government in Jammu and Kashmir, said the remarks of the saffron party leaders on Prophet Mohammad and Islam are absolutely “shameful and condemnable”.

Sensitivity doesn’t matter to the BJP.” Lone’s remarks came days after now-suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar JindalThe controversial remarks on the prophet triggered global outrage and protests across the country.

The people of Kashmir who fought and sacrificed their lives. The last three decades are nowhere. The notion that to be an expert on Kashmir, you have to be a non-Kashmiri. This has to change,” Lone added.

Asked about the ban on schools affiliated to the Falah-e-Aam Trust affiliated to Jamaat-e-Islamia, Sajjad said the move was discriminatory. “It is grossly unfair and unjust to selectively crack down on institutions having religious affiliations,” he said, adding that “the administration must understand that J&K is a Muslim-majority state. They cannot possibly ban every institution.” Because they have a bias towards Muslims.It seems they are deliberately targeting Kashmiris in the rest of the country for minor electoral gains.
