Bad idea to tag "Munh ka fire" type irrelevant people here as we don't comment on Canadian affairs. We are also irrelevant for Canadians.I don't know why I thought tagging @Retired Troll here is a nice and friendly idea, lol...
Can you guess why no one in Kashmir is raising any slogans for Fazlu or his Azadi Marchi thingy?
Khair, everyone knows what Fazlu did to the Kashmiri cause.

The Associated Press, New Delhi Tuesday, 22 October 2019
A US diplomat overseeing South Asia says the Trump administration is concerned about human rights in India-administered Kashmir but supports India’s development “objectives” for the restive Himalayan region stripped of its special status in August.
Acting Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Alice Wells released the statement Tuesday ahead of a congressional hearing in Washington on human rights in South Asia.
Wells said the US State Department has encouraged India to restore phone and internet access and release detainees. After India’s Parliament voted to remove a constitutional provision that gave Kashmiris semi-autonomy and land rights, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government imposed a security lockdown and communications blackout. Thousands of people have been detained.
Some phone connectivity has been restored, but internet services remain down.
