Spent almost a month in Kashmir in two trips since August 5, 2019. On my return flight from Kashmir to Delhi today, chatted for an hour & half with two young Kashmiri Muslim men. They were from downtown, the traditional separatist belt & said they can’t talk freely in Kashmir.1/n
They said anyone who talks peace gets labeled as Indian agent in Kashmir. One guy spoke about how he ensured implementation of Ujjwala scheme even during the last 45 days of “shutdown”! He said no one stopped him from running his business.He said Kashmir wants peace,normalcy.2/n
The other guy said he studied in Delhi & was now working in Middle East. His cousins had left Kashmir too because of violence, turmoil & uncertainty in the 90s & 2000s & are now settled in Canada, Australia & UK.But he now hopes to return to Kashmir & set up his own business.3/n
Both Kashmiri gentlemen said September 27 date/deadline is overhyped & nothing will happen even as some separatists in Kashmir are hoping Pakistan Army will launch a war against India & invade Kashmir after Prime Minister @ImranKhanPTI speaks at UNGA.They are the new Kashmir.
