Bhopal, Mar 30: The all India anti-terrorist front president M S Bitta today said the soft policy of Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mufti Mohd Sayeed was responsible for the recent killings of 24 Kashmiri pandits at Nadimarg in the state. Addressing a press conference here, he demanded an inquiry against Sayeed as to why he had refused to implement Pota in Jammu and Kashmir.
Pota is needed most in Jammu and Kashmir, he said and added if it is not applied there the state may secede from India.

The Congress must withdraw support from the PDP-Cong coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir, Bitta said, adding, "Political parties must keep national interest separate from power and votes.”
