‘No India without Kashmir’: Indian columnist debunks Pak propaganda at US Congress

Sunanda Vashisht added, “My people were given three choices by the terrorist to flee, convert or die on the same fateful night

New Delhi: On Thursday in the US Congressional hearing on Human Rights in Washington Sunanda Vashisht a columnist said India has successfully defeated insurgencies in the state of Punjab and Northeast and it is the right time to strengthen Delhi’s fight against insurgencies in Kashmir.

Tom Lantos HR Commission organized a hearing, she said: “India’s democratic credentials are not matched. Our country has successfully, in a democratic setup, it had also defeated insurgencies in Punjab and the northeast states. It is time to strengthen India against such insurgencies and human rights violation problems to be solved forever.”

Vaishisht said, “We are dealing with Islamic terrorism in Kashmir,”.”We need to understand the fact that all deaths have happened in the past is due to terrorists trained by Pakistan. Anyways the doublespeak will not help India,” the columnist stressed before the panelist.

Vaishisht said that the international community has to support India in eradicating radical Islamist terror that is when the human rights situation will be possible.

Vaishisht said, “Plebiscite in Kashmir will never happen,”. A plebiscite requires the entire community to unite for a decision, but in case, a part of Kashmir is in India, another in Pakistan, a part of it is also held with China.

She also said India has “not occupied” Kashmir and Kashmir was always an integral part of India, she also added that “India is not just a 70-year-old identity, but a 5000-year-old civilization. There is no India without Kashmir, and no Kashmir without India.”

A similar level of horror Kashmir has witnessed and brutality as inflicted by the Islamic State in Syria, prior to the time when the West and other international communities were apprised about the worst human rights situation in the Valley, claimed Kashmir columnist Sunanda Vashisht.

“We have seen ISIS level of horror and brutality in Kashmir, before 30 years in the West and introduced to the brutalities of radical Islamic terror. I am glad these hearings have happened here today because when my family and everyone like me lost our homes our livelihood and our way of life the world remained silent,” said Vashisht a Congressional hearing on Human.

Vashisht also raised questions that why there is a silence of world leaders when some 400,000 Kashmiri Hindus were driven out of the Valley in the 1990s when Pakistan supported terrorists and started targeting the community.

She further questioned that “Where was the savior of humanity when my feeble old grandfather stood with kitchen knives and an old rusted ax ready to kill my mother and I in order to save us from the much worse fate that awaited us?”.

Sunanda Vashisht added, “My people were given three choices by the terrorist to flee, convert or die on the same fateful night.”
