No communal diversions please!
When India is unable to crush the Azadi sentiment, it resorts to communalism openly. Two years ago when the Amarnath Land row started the then government used RSS and BJP freely to polarize the situation in Jammu, even as an economic blockade was orchestrated with the tactic support of the government. This time again BJP has been called in for the same purpose; it announced a ‘Save Kashmir Day.’ When it comes to Kashmir it seems that both Congress and BJP stand united on depriving Kashmiris of justice. This is in agreement with those who have pointed out that Congress and BJP have a common understanding on how to deal with Muslims in general. Indians should behave in a more upright manner and not make things difficult for themselves.
