West Bengal Chief MinisterMamata Banerjee Saturday criticised her Haryana counterpartManohar Lal Khattar's remark on Kashmiri girls and said peopleholding high office should restrain from making insensitivecomments about people of Jammu and Kashmir

Without naming Khattar, Banerjee in a tweet said, "We,and more so people holding high public office, must restrainourselves from making insensitive comments about the belovedpeople of Jammu and Kashmir. These are hurtful, not only forJ&K, but the entire nation."
