THE Kashmir problem has become a complex issue of ‘religious nationalism’ because of the Indian forces victimisation and persecution of eight million Kashmiris in the occupied valley.

After the annexation of the valley by the ruling Bharataya Janata Party in New Delhi, barely a few parliamentarians in the Western world raised their voice against this infamy by India.

India is ensuring that the Kashmiris’s yearning for freedom remains an unfulfilled dream. It is trying to convince the people of occupied Kashmir that the world will not listen to them and that Pakistan is not in a position to help. The Indian fascists are mistaken and should remember that the National Socialists brought utter ruin to Germany. Its people forced to beg for keeping body and soul together.

The people of India need to realise the BJP’s fanaticism will bring them immense because of Kashmir.
