Asking Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to be honest in conveying the feelings and sentiments of people of Jammu and Kashmir to the rest of India, Awami Itehad Party(AIP) chairman and MLA Langate, Er Rasheed, termed today’s incident at SKICC here as “eye opener” for New Delhi.
“Before asking Kashmiris to forget past, Sri Sri should have advised New Delhi also to shun its persistent arrogance and come forward for a realistic and honorable settlement of resolve Kashmir dispute. Kashmiris would have appreciated Sri Sri Ravi Shankar had he raised voice for Kashmiris who were killed by security forces and other central agencies since 1989, at various forums all over India,” Er Rasheed, in a statement today, said.
He said, “Sri Sri should first condemn the unabated killings and he should have raised tremendous pressure through civil society and other groups on political parties in India to give Kashmiris their Right to Self Determination.”
