Jailed Kashmir Politicians Were Never Loyal To Country

Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday said Jammu and Kashmir mainstream politicians presently under detention always worked against the country’s sovereignty. The party said the politicians’ release would be considered only when elections are near. Talking to Greater Kashmir, BJP’s national vice-president and J&K affairs in-charge Avinash Rai Khanna said that almost all the politicians who are serving detention since August 5 in Kashmir were never loyal to the country and instead harmed the country’s sovereignty.

“I wonder whether they were real people’s leaders. Had that been the case, why not a single person protested to seek their release,” Khanna said. “If a Sarpanch is detained for some reason, the entire village erupts in protest.” “These leaders always fooled the people on one or the other pretext just to secure votes and to loot the state exchequer to fill their own coffers,” Khanna said.
