Commenting on NC leader’s statement, PRP chief Mir Ghulam Rasool today said that Dr Abdullah when in power made many attacks over Pakistan and now he is suggesting that PoK should remain with Pak.
Expressing surprise over the statement, Mir said this way Dr Abdullah is making a mockery of democratic system and it is not known who has given him the authority to decide the division of a country.

By saying that the State be divided Dr Abdullah was negating the decision taken by the leadership of his Party in forties, Mir added.
