Srinagar MP Ruhullah Mehdi issues veiled threats of terrorism rising again over Article 370 abrogation in interview with The Wire

Op India  

A lot has changed in Jammu and Kashmir. In an interview with leftist propaganda portal The Wire on 2nd July, Jammu Kashmir National Conference leader and Srinagar’s newly-elected MP Ruhullah Mehdi almost threatened the Indian government that “the anger of Kashmiris over Article 370 removal” can erupt anytime in the future just as it did 40 years after independence. Ruhullah Mehdi cherrypicks incidents of violence to play the “Musalmaan Khatre Mein Hai” narrative In the backdrop of the BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri’s offensive remarks against the then BSP MP Danish Ali in Lok Sabha last year wherein Bidhuri called the latter a “terrorist” and was later made to apologise, Ruhullah Mehdi asserted that common Muslims and other ‘oppressed’ minorities are being targeted. Ruhullah Mehdi downplays the 1990 Kashmiri Hindu Genocide as “Haadsa” During the interview, when Arfa Khanum Sherwani asked about Ruhullah Mehdi’s ‘secular’ stand, the JKNC leader said that Kashmir is secular and that just one “Haadsa” and that even Muslims were killed during the militancy in those days. Ruhullah Mehdi refuses to accept Supreme Court verdict on Article 370 When The Wire’s Arfa Khanum Sherwani asked Mehdi about what is left in the Article 370 abrogation issue since the Supreme Court has “settled” it, Mehdi said that one Supreme Court judgement is not acceptable to him.
