As expected Modi’s friend and fellow Hindutva @TulsiGabbard @TulsiPress ‘both-sides’ the very black and white issue of Kashmir: Kashmiris must get their right to self-determination #FreeKashmir @FriedrichPieter @SameeraKhan
@TulsiGabbard @TulsiPress @FriedrichPieter @SameeraKhan Tulsi parrots the RSS points: 1 Politicizing the exodus of Kashmiri pandits. If you want to look at the history start from the Jammu massacre of 1947 where 200,000 Muslims were killed, then go to the UN resolutions asking for a plebiscite to let the Kashmiris decide their future
@TulsiGabbard @TulsiPress @FriedrichPieter @SameeraKhan All violence in the valley including the killing of the 200 Kashmiri pandits she talks about is a direct result of the military occupation and denial of the right to self-determination of Kashmiris.
@TulsiGabbard @TulsiPress @FriedrichPieter @SameeraKhan 2. You can’t forcibly occupy a region, annex it against the wishes of the people and justify it by saying homosexuality is legal as a by-product of this annexation. There are countries where homosexuality is illegal. Is the solution to occupy them and change the law?
@TulsiGabbard @TulsiPress @FriedrichPieter @SameeraKhan 3. She perpetuates the myth which is only used by RSS members and apologists: That Kashmiri women lose their rights if they married outside the state. This is a lie, women don’t lose any rights if they marry outside the state. If only she had researched it before speaking up.
@TulsiGabbard @TulsiPress @FriedrichPieter @SameeraKhan I was thinking I would give Tulsi one last chance and see her thoughts on Kashmir but this just proves that all allegations against her of being an RSS apologist are 100% true.
@TulsiGabbard @TulsiPress @FriedrichPieter @SameeraKhan Other by-products of revoking article 370: right to education reduced to 16 yrs from university level, reservations for low castes reduced in number and no longer roll on to the next year, married women living with their parents no longer receive an equal share in property
@TulsiGabbard @TulsiPress @FriedrichPieter @SameeraKhan Orphans no longer get a share in property. So Tulsi is literally cherry-picking one example of homosexuality (and lying about the women’s right one) to justify caging 8 million people under a military occupation. This is outrageous.
