Srinagar, Oct 15:\u00a0<\/strong>Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary on Wednesday said he holds great respect for senior politician Sajad Lone\u2019s late father, but advised him (Lone) to exercise restraint in his language while making public statements.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters, Choudhary recalled his earlier interactions with Sajad Lone and acknowledged his educational background and political legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI respect Sajad Lone Sahab because he is well-educated and has studied abroad. More importantly, he is the son of a man who contributed significantly to Jammu and Kashmir. I met him around 1995-96 when I was a trade union leader and we had a detailed discussion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Deputy CM said that while he continues to regard Sajad Lone as a \u201cbrother,\u201d he was disappointed by his recent remarks in a video clip that has been circulating on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw his video yesterday. I want to remind Sajad that his late father had his own ideology, but he maintained civility and culture in his language. I would request Sajad Sahab to be mindful of that legacy,\u201d Choudhary said.<\/p>\n

He further stated that their past political associations and discussions have always been respectful and constructive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have sat together, even when he was a minister. My intention is not to criticize, but to advise. I hope he doesn\u2019t take my words otherwise,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On political issues, Choudhary responded to Sajad Lone’s alleged remarks targeting another politician.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe directly accused Rajesh of being with the BJP. My question is: if you’re against the BJP, then support the candidate who is contesting against them. Why abstain? Why not take a clear stand?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

Calling it a \u201ctest of sincerity,\u201d the Deputy CM said that this is the time for all leaders and self-proclaimed sympathizers of Jammu and Kashmir to show where they truly stand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not just about Sajad Lone. Anyone who claims to stand with the people of J&K must prove it now \u2014 through action, not just words,\u201d he said\u2014(KNO)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
