National Conference senior leader and former Speaker Muhammad Akbar Lone Sunday defended the claim made by Farooq Abdullah that if elected to  power NC will grant autonomy to Jammu and Kashmir. Lone however added that if New Delhi will reject their Autonomy Resolution, NC will abdicate the  Chair.Lone while talking to news agency CNS said that NC won't repeat the mistake that it committed in 1996. "We committed a blunder when New  Delhi rejected the Autonomy Resolution in 1996. We should have resigned the very moment, but we didn't. This time NC will go to any extent for  restoration of Autonomy in Jammu and Kashmir," Lone said.To a question, Lone said Autonomy is possible. "Law makers pass the resolution in every  state but in Jammu and Kashmir, the rights and voice of legislators is being muzzled which is not a good sign for a healthy democracy," Lone said and  advised New Delhi to show some respect for the aspirations and sentiments of people of the State.
