AIP supremo and MLA Langate Er Rasheed while reacting to Prime Minister Modi’s speech in Kerala Sunday said that 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, as is being claimed by Indian rulers, TV anchors and some defence and political analysts in India. In a statement issued to KNS, Er Rasheed said, “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.” He said, “Addressing directly people of Pakistan clearly means that those who were talking of attacking Pakistan know that it is very easy to say so but impossible to get it done. Apparently it sounds better when Indian Prime Minister invites Pakistanis to fight jointly illiteracy, poverty and other serious issues, but should have revealed the road map to do and achieve so.” However Rasheed said that the only way to achieve these important goals in the sub continent is to stop spending billions of dollars on defence needs and deals 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.
“Modi’s remarks on Pak are meaningless as not only people in that part of Kashmir enjoy their basic rights but besides being most peaceful area Pak has its own President and Prime Minister. Who doesn’t know how Bangladesh separated from Pakistan. Nobody knows better than Modi that how many states within India have worst domestic issues,” He said.Rasheed added that Modi has every right to claim that India will not allow sacrifice of eighteen soldiers killed in Uri gun fight to go waste, but Modi and every Indian needs to understand 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 send to graves by Indian security forces from 1990. He added that 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. (KNS)
