Kashmir Digits

RSS leader Indresh Kumar slammed former J&K Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, saying that if he feels suffocated here he should leave India.

The statement comes after the National Conference president said that people of Jammu and Kashmir may have to make “sacrifices” like agitating farmers to get back their rights.

Kumar said that it shows that Farooq Abdullah loves violence, not peace.

“His statement clearly shows that he loves violence, not peace. He is saying that he will get everyone killed, keep them hungry,” Mr Kumar told reporters here at a press conference when asked for his comments on Mr Abdullah’s remarks.

“Farooq Abdullah had earlier said that help of China will be taken for restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status. Shall we accept it? Never. It’s nonsense. If he feels suffocated here, he should go wherever he wants, Arab or America. His wife lives in England. He can also think of going there to live with his wife. He will remain happy,” the RSS leader added.

The RSS leader also slammed PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti for staging a protest in the national capital against alleged repression of people of the union territory, saying “it has become a fashion for her to tell lies”.

He also said that both leaders from Jammu and Kashmir should stop playing “politics of provocation” and stop becoming an obstruction in maintaining unity and integrity of the country.

Mr Abdullah yesterday said the people of Jammu and Kashmir may have to make “sacrifices”, as farmers protesting the new farm laws did, to restore its statehood and special status.
