There they are serious, here it does not matter
This refers to news “36 youth booked in Islamabad.” On the one hand tall claims are made by both Union and state to reach out to people so that hearts can be won, but on the other, clear and loud massage is sent to Kashmiris that they don’t have any democratic right. The state government held all party meeting to overcome the present crises by reaching out to people and respect their sentiments but everything stands exposed now. The meeting, it seems, was held to formulate the strategy on how to curb mass uprising in valley. The Congress spokesperson Minish Tiwari on CNN IBN said that present government has no threat and will complete its tenure and that they have seen cycles of violence in Kashmir in the past also. Consider the death of an eight year old child in Kanpur who died due to PM security negligence. The incident made Sonia to intervene. But when such children are killed in Kashmir, nobody intervenes. That is pursuing double standards. Here youth are booked and that is highly condemnable. It adds fuel to the fire.
