Keep quite
This refers to the recent conference on Kashmir held in Deoband. They stood up against the injustice. Many people criticized the conference. I failed to understand why the participants limited the issues to the Armed Forces Special Powers Act and other secondary demands. Why they sidelined the truth regarding the history of Kashmir. By pinpointing separatism in the Conference they have humiliated Kashmiris. The Conference has also misconceived the separatism as a forced intervention in Kashmir which goes against the ground realities. They need to understand that separatism is the genuine slogan of every individual in the valley. Muslims in India don’t seem to be in a position to advocate our cause. So it better for them to keep quite.
