Srinagar, Oct 11: PDP youth leader Zuhaib Yousf Mir on Sunday said that suffering of protestors in Delhi deserves justice in its own right, but solidarity shouldn’t come at the cost of erasing Kashmir’s distinct and deeply painful history.
“The suffering of protestors in Delhi deserves scrutiny, solidarity, and justice in its own right. But solidarity should not come at the cost of erasing Kashmir’s distinct and deeply painful history. One injustice does not diminish another, equally, one cannot invoke Kashmir merely as a metaphor for every instance of state repression elsewhere,” PDP youth leader said on X.
He termed the ongoing protest in Delhi and elsewhere in the country as “Kashmirisation of India”.
“To call what is happening in India today the “Kashmirisation of India” is, therefore, both a misnomer and an oxymoron. It risks turning decades of Kashmiri suffering into a political slogan while overlooking the specificity of what Kashmiris have endured,” PDP leader added.
