Former IAS officer Shah Faesal on Friday described Kashmir as “high altitude graveyard.”
“Kashmir is more like a high altitude graveyard. It’s about 7 million people waiting to die. There are killings of all nature. It’s difficult for us to condemn what kind of violence need to be condemned,” said Shah Faesal. His comments came a day after Kashmir witnessed one of the deadliest attacks when 49 CRPF personnel were killed in suicide attack in Pulwama.
Faesal, who recently resigned from the Civil services and planning his political plunge, also questioned the usefulness of the surgical strike.
“We have tried surgical strike, did it succeed. No. Can we have war with Pakistan which is a nuclear state. My belief is no. We cannot afford another upheaval in South Asia. If this continues, there will be a Afghanistan and Syria within India,” said Faesal. NEWS 18
