Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s challenge to accept Pakistan’s threat to fight a war for one thousand years amounts to confession that it is not so easy to break or defeat Pakistan, Kashmir’s controversial lawmaker Engineer Rashid said. He was reacting to Modi’s Kerela utterances.
“By talking of indulging in war with Pakistan for thousand years Modi has confessed that India can’t beat Pakistan for at least one thousand years,” Rashid said in a statement.
Rashid appreciated that Prime Minister invited Pakistanis to fight jointly with India, the war against illiteracy, poverty and other serious issues. But he did not reveal the road map to do and achieve so, the MLA pointed out.
The only way to achieve these important goals in the sub continent is to stop spending billions of dollars on defence needs and that can be done only if India and Pakistan give people of J&K on both sides of LoC their right to self determination, Rashid said.
Rashid termed Modi’s remarks on PaK “meaningless” because, unlike J&K, its people enjoy their basic rights, is “most peaceful” and has its own President and Prime Minister.
Er Rasheed said that Prime Minister has every right to not allow sacrifice of eighteen soldiers killed in Uri gun fight to go waste. “If India can’t ignore or forget sacrifices of those eighteen soldiers wearing uniform, getting good salaries and trained to kill and get killed, how can Kashmiris forget sacrifices of more than one lac innocent and unarmed, men, women and children, who were sent to graves by Indian security forces from 1990,” the statement said. “Modi should also answer those hundreds of mothers whose beloved kids have been blinded by pellets for ever at the hands of Indian forces in past three months.”
