The Supreme Court Monday asked National Conference leader Mohammad Akbar Lone to file an affidavit swearing allegiance to the Constitution of India and accepting the country’s sovereignty, after the ‘Pakistan zindabad’ slogan that he allegedly raised in the Jammu & Kashmir assembly in 2018 kicked up a massive row.
Lone, the lead petitioner challenging the abrogation of Article 370 that accorded special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, will file the affidavit by Tuesday, senior advocate Kapil Sibal told a five-judge bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud.
