Celebrating India’s defeat proves Kashmir issue is not just Pakistan sponsored insurgency: Er Rasheed

Srinagar| Apr 01 : AIP Supremo and MLA Langate Er Rasheed has asked New Delhi to introspect and find answers that while whole India was mourning India’s defeat in T20 World Cup semi final why were Kashmiris celebrating India’s defeat on streets and social media.

Addressing a public gathering after inaugurating Medical Dispensary at Walrama Qaziabad today Er Rashid said “the reaction to west Indian’s victory on the streets of Kashmir has yet again proved that Jammu & Kashmir issue is not a problem of governance, Pakistan’s insurgency, providing packages or resolving unemployment problem but a deep rooted political problem which needs a genuine political solution.

“It is now proven beyond doubt that killing militants, slapping PSA on youth, calling AFSPA a holy book, disgracing Kashmiri leadership, relocating few army camps, providing financial packages, detaining hundreds of Kashmiris in & outside J&K jails and harassing Kashmiri students and traders outside J&K has not helped in resolving the dispute but complicated the problem further,” he said, adding, celebrating India’s defeat should be an eye opener for every good Indian and they must read writing on the wall that with every day the distance between New Delhi and Srinagar deepens further”.
