NC spokesman, Junaid Mattoo took Twitter to control the damage by posting, "Hon'ble @JKNC_ President has said the NC MLA should not forget that he belongs to a party that rejected the two-nation theory and he should also remember the oath he swears in the name of God at the beginning of his term. The party disowns and condemns his remarks."
The honorable speaker Kavinder Gupta said, related the terror attack with Rohingya and the attack on the Army camp was the reason as Rohingya Muslims wear residing near it, and at the very moment Opposition National Conference (NC) and Congress members stormed into the 'Well of the House.'
