Why Farooq Abdullah Called Himself ‘Pakistani, Khalistani, American Agent…’

New Delhi: Taking a jibe at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),  National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday called himself a “Pakistani, Khalistani and an American Agent”. 

Responding to a reporter’s question that BJP is ‘labeling NC and its manifesto as pro-Pakistani’, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah in a mocking tone said, "I am a Pakistani, I am a Khalistani and I am an American Agent. Apart from all this, if any other thing is left then I am also that.”
