1n 2 different sources confirm what Nidhi said. Left 2 PTI report in India today Right 1 the News in Pakistan. The accusation wasn’t one of malice, @OpIndia_com was requesting compassion for an underperforming amateur with memory retention & low IQ problems. For example
2n “unprecedented” communications blackout - no sorry as Aasha Khosa points out the entire region was blacked out for 6 months 91-92 when terrorists blew up the cable tower, dnaindia.com/analysis/colum… but then nobody ever accused Nidhi of reading history
3n also comms were taken down in 2016 during the Burhan Wani riots - unsuccessfully. But lessons were learnt, and the was the logical GRADED ESCALATION (the correct operational term). But then nobody accused Nidhi of being an operations expert
4n “values as a democracy” - democracy 101: prioritise the LIFE of ALL citizens - NOT JUST Gupkar Road & the handful of stone pelters & rioters but the vast majority who are their victims directly or indirectly. But then nobody every accused Nidhi of having studied anthropology
5n “all top political leaders” ... this ones an absolute gem. PREVENTIVE custody Nidhi is to PREVENT, not POST FACTO. but then nobody accused Nidhi of being an ENGLISH NEWS ANCHOR. hang on SHE IS... so if she doesn’t understand English what’s she doing on an English news channel?
6n now this transitions from dumb & clueless to sickeningly callous. No violence? Really? Saura Riots were what? Non violent marches? Massacres of migrant labourers are what? But then Nidhi doesn’t consider the killing of Indians as violence, indians after all are subhuman
7n “there is mass civil disobedience” yes that’s one aspect - but notice no mention of the other half - terrorist coercion killing shopkeers who trade or truckers who transport - it was her beloved party the NC & the PDP thugs doing most of the coercion notice what’s common👇🏾?
8n Schools are functioning through distance learning .... guess why parents won’t send their kids? .... hint nothing to do with civil disobedience
9n “people not consulted” gee Nidhi you mean the same way Sunni Majoritarians CMs never consulted Shias, Buddhists, Hindus, Dalits, LGBTQ, & in Ladakh’s case swindled them out of their money? Oh sorry we’ve established Nidhi thinks of these as subhuman - only Sunnis are Kashmiris
10n “people who held the Indian flag” yeah Geelani took the constitutional oath too. Several terrorists today voted/took part in past elections. But I guess by Nidhis logic, the moment a criminal “holds the Indian flag” he ceases to be a criminal.
11/11 Now imagine “leading Indian Journalist” makes a factual error in EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE of her speech. This isn’t malice. She is genuinely stupid, clearly can’t read & clearly has memory retention problems. She needs our understanding, sympathy & compassion
12n Now watch this video where @LyallGrant claims “500,000” troops Which Nidhi didnt challenge. Clearly the “RW rag” got its facts opindia.com/2019/08/half-a… better than an NDTV alleged journalist caught peddling pak sponsored fake news yesterday
