Much awaited @ShekharGupta has spoken on phenomena called #TheKashmirFiles. I was waiting 4 him as he is amongst a few journalists of that era, still active on daily basis. Others make guest appearances but SG does what he always did best from 2K onwards- agenda journalism-Thread
Here is how his piece “wrongly” titled National Interest looks today!
Wonder who reduced Kashmiri Hindu tragedy to one of suppression & shifting of goal posts for so long, @ShekharGupta and what moral high ground u have, in the process, after being part of suppression brigade!
Just note how cleverly @ShekharGupta has reduced the debate generated by #TheKashmirFiles to one of exodus and boxed it in the period from November 1989 onwards….why November 89? Because that was the month when reigns of Delhi transferred from Congress to National Front!
Well @Areebuddin14 was the petitioner, he was the reporter for @barandbench and proceedings from HC were also reported by him only. Can this platform’s reporting be trusted or should they be trusted?
Dear @srinivasiyc let me take u back to the 1980; Richard Attenborough was looking to produce Gandhi; and guess what he found Rani Dube - who in turn found Indira Gandhi- @RahulGandhi ‘s grandmom and guess what she instantly gave away $ 10 million to Dube independent.co.uk/news/obituarie…
I leave it to anyone’s best judgement that when funding of $10 million for Gandhi was given to Attenborough by Indian Govt ‘s NFDC - why was NFDC not shown as producer and the honour was given to Rani Dube? What was quid pro quo @srinivasiyc ?
. Continuing with issue raised by Vijay, lets expand on the info shared by Vijay & what it tells us about the politics of Sonia Gandhi & the subservient attitude of media vis-a-vis her!
It was on Nov6 of 2012 when @vijayvaani maam's article titled "Sonia Gandhi on Kashmir secession body" was published by @indiabtl detailing her involvement with the Forum of Democratic Leaders in the Asia-Pacific (FDL-AP) - weblink nancho.net/fdlap/ ibtl.in/column/1317/so…
The said article by @vijayvaani maam claimed that FDL-AP is funded by Soros Foundation, Kim Dae-Jung Peace Foundation, Olof Palme International Center, and Naumann Foundation. It further claimed that the Secretariat of the org was in Seoul & their India office was set up in Sep95
Two Congress experiments of mid 80s were similar and one of them led to genocide and ethnic cleansing of Hindus and reason was that one state was Hindu minority.
Yes, talking of N Bhaskar Rao & GM Shah; Andhra had NTR and JK had Abdullahs & Muftis who help in ethnic cleansing!
Young population need to read about how Congress Govt at the centre, removed elected govts in both Andhra and JK and replaced it with their puppets. Thankfully Andhra recovered but JK cudnt as Abdullah- the separatist in a closet- was at the helm of affairs & next hope was Mufti!
Kashmiri politicians were used to play Ukraine on Delhi- in Srinagar they used to sing songs of separatism while their tunes used to change in Delhi. Cong was happy with their share of 6 seats and support and gave freedom to Muftis and Abdullahs
PushkarNath found his voice,after 32 yrs-voice,that was suppressed by every pillar of Indian state,for it was an inconvenient truth in a majority Hindu country!
Irony is that same deaf n dumb media found its voice in Ayodhya after few months for it was convenient to blame Hindus
Ever wondered how Hindus were shown as perpetrators & made to self hate for demolishing a structure constructed by force,at one of their holiest sites,by same Indian media & intelligentsia, few months after suppressing the fact of ethnic cleansing of Hindus in most barbaric way!
