Needling the BJP, ally Shiv Sena today said the present government in Jammu and Kashmir is more inclined towards separatists than nationalists and it may turn a blind eye to troubles there to save the dispensation. Also taking a dig at the RSS, Sena said before giving lectures on nationalism, it should stop extremists from conducting operations in Jammu and Kashmir.

"The RSS is demanding separate statehood for regions having a population of 50 lakh. If states are broken apart today, it won't take time for the country to break apart as well. If the RSS doesn't understand this, they should stop giving lectures on patriotism," the Sena said in an editorial
in party mouthpiece 'Saamana'.
