NEW DELHI: Dubbing separatists in Jammu and Kashmir as “defeatists”, a pro-RSS journal today said they are fuelling “anti-India sentiment” by raking up “minor incidents” to reinvigorate their “lost battle” against the country.
The editorial in pro-RSS publication ‘Organiser’ said it has been the “old strategy of separatists to fuel anti-India sentiment, malign armed forces and disturb peace in Jammu and Kashmir by using minor incidents”, but good, participatory and transparent governance is the best solution to defeat such mindset.
The journal cited the joining of 143 youths in Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry (JKLI) of the army after successful completion of year-long training as a “classic example of this transformation” and said this is pushing the separatists into a “defeatist” mindset.
“This ground reality is pushing the separatist to the defeatist mindset. As some intellectuals and media personnel, who are losing their safe cocoons within the power corridors, are being ‘intolerant’ to the rising aspirations of Bharat, some self-proclaimed leaders of Kashmiri people are attempting to reinvigorate their lost battle.
