[12] Before he stood as an independent candidate in the 2009 Indian general election from the Baramulla Lok Sabha constituency, he in 2008, at the height of the Amarnath land transfer controversy, believed that the protests were a mass uprising against Indian rule and decided to boycott the Assembly elections.

However, the then Governor Satya Pal Malik dissolved the state assembly without letting Lone prove his claim.
