AIP Supremo and MLA Langate Er. Rasheed Saturday condemned CM Mehbooba Mufti for asking that she will beg New Delhi for talks with Kashmiris.
Addressing party workers in Handwara Rasheed reminded Mehbooba Mufti that it were not Kashmiris but Indian parliamentarians who from Geelani to MLAs doors knocked everyone, begging for talks.
Rasheed said, “Mehbooba Mufti must not forget that if Kashmiris have sacrificed one lack lives and faced huge destruction, why should they be begging for talks. It is Indian state that has on and off insulted Kashmiris in the name of dialogue.”
“Mehbooba’s allegations that Hurriyat leaders, Pakistan and many others are provoking Kashmiris to take up stones and guns in their hands carries no weight, Rasheed said adding “those who do so, don’t consult or seek permission from their parents, relatives, friends or Hurriyat leaders.”
“It is arrogance, history of broken promises and delay tactics of Indian state that forces Hurriyat leaders to issue protest calendars and provokes youth to take stones and guns in their hands,” he said.
