'Kashmiris Do Not Feel Indian, Today They'd Rather Have the Chinese Rule Them': Farooq Abdullah

If Kashmir is given to China, Kashmiris will have same fate as Uighurs. Their land taken from them, cultured+religion removed and populating their areas with Hans so they can become majority.

How many mosques has Indians destroyed in Kashmir compared to Xinjiang? There is no comparison.
No, they would be getting Chinese staple recipes including rice, noodles wontons, dumplings, buns and pancakes instead of watery daals, pellets to eyes, rampant murders, rapes and repression.

Even the Top Collaborator turns against India, just imagine how much hate there must be towards India among average kashmiris.
Times must be bad if even Indian poodles are barking at their masters.

He is a traitor for Kashmiris and known for his slave mentality. While just seeking some attention & luring Chinese through a designed trap in Delhi; he needs another master. Beware, these puppets are utilized to de-track & defame Kashmir Freedom Struggle. In fact, Kashmiris fights for the right of determination & freedom from Indian Occupation and they don't need any rule. I really hope that people can understand such drifts..
To me seems the country he really want to bring in the talk is Pakistan but for obviouse reasons he probably dare not say the name because of the sensitivity?

NEW DELHI: Besieged Kashmiris, including those that once had faith in their destiny with India, would today prefer to be ruled by China than New Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir’s former pro-India chief minister Farooq Abdullah said in a TV interview aired on Wednesday.

“Today Kashmiris do not feel Indian and do not want to be Indian … They are slaves … They would rather have the Chinese rule them,” Mr Abdullah told veteran TV anchor Karan Thapar, in an interview for The Wire online.

'Kashmiris Do Not Feel Indian, Today They'd Rather Have the Chinese Rule Them': Farooq Abdullah
The former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir and Lok Sabha MP tells Karan Thapar that he committed to restoring the dignity of Kashmiris by which he meant reinstating Articles 370 and 35A and restoring statehood. He said he would fight for this – but always peacefully – till his last breath.

4 HOURS AGO

New Delhi: In a powerful and passionate interview with frequent flashes of anger and displays of emotion, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah has said that at this moment the Kashmiri people do not feel and do not want to be Indian. He even went so far as to say that they would rather be ruled by the Chinese, a point he reiterated when he was asked if he really meant this.

Abdullah, who heads the National Conference party and had been the most prominent ‘pro-India’ face in Jammu and Kashmir for the past four decades, also described the Kashmiris as slaves who were being treated like second class citizens.


In a 44-minute interview to The Wire, Abdullah said it was complete rubbish for the Bharatiya Janata Party to claim that the people of Kashmir have accepted the August 2019 changes just because there have been no protests.


He said if the soldiers on every street and Section 144 were to be lifted, people will come out in their tens of lakhs. Abdullah told The Wire that the new domicile law was intended to flood the Valley with Hindus and create a Hindu majority. He said this has further embittered the Kashmiri people.


Asked as to how Kashmiris view the Central government and, in particular, Prime Minister Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah, Abdullah said they were deeply disillusioned. He said they had no trust in the Central government. The trust that once bound Kashmir to the rest of the country has completely snapped, he added.

Abdullah revealed details of his meeting with the Prime Minister roughly 72 hours before August 5, 2019 when the constitutional changes in Kashmir were announced.

He had met the Prime Minister seeking assurances about the continuation of Articles 370 and 35A. He asked the prime minister why there were so many troops in the Valley and whether this was because of any perceived military threat.

Abdullah suggested the prime minister deliberately went out of his way to give him the impression the massive increase in troops was for security purposes. He said Modi did not say a word about Articles 370 and 35A. Consequently, Abdullah emerged from that meeting believing the two Articles were not in danger.

When asked, he agreed that the prime minister had misled and deceived him.

Abdullah told The Wire that on August 5, 2019, when the constitutional changes were suddenly announced, the National Conference and all other mainstream political parties stood badly discredited in Kashmiri eyes. Speaking of himself, he said he seemed to have fallen between two stools. The Centre viewed him as a traitor and arrested him. Kashmiris, on the other hand, saw him as a servant of India and said things like this ‘serves Abdullah right’. They chided him and taunted him for having said “Bharat Mata ki jai.” This left him deeply shaken and upset.

However, after 7-8 months in detention his standing and that of his party and other mainstream parties has been considerably restored in Kashmiri eyes. People now realise they are not “servants of India”, he said.

Abdullah said that the National Conference and, in fact, all the other parties that had come together to issue the Gupkar Declaration of August 2019, which was reiterated on August 22 this year, were committed to restoring the dignity of Kashmiris. He said this meant reinstating Articles 370 and 35A and restoring statehood. He said he would fight for this – but always peacefully – till his last breath.


Abdullah said that he had faith in the Supreme Court and hoped that it would stop postponing the petition his party has brought and hear it expeditiously. In the interview he, in fact, appealed to Supreme Court judges to hear the constitutional case quickly.

Asked why he had not raised this matter during the present session of parliament, which ends on Wednesday, September 23, he said he was not given time. He said he had gone to meet Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla, along with MPs from Congress, Trinamool, DMK and the Communist Parties, and the speaker had assured them time for a discussion would be allocated. But that never happened. Asked if he believed the government had intervened and told the speaker not to give time, Abdullah said he did not know but agreed that the speaker had not kept his word.

Abdullah told The Wire that in the greater interest of Kashmir, the Mufti and Abdullah families have buried their past differences and come together. He said, today, Mehbooba Mufti was politically close to both his son Omar and himself. He said that he was in touch with her frequently, every week.

In one of the more angry moments of the interview, Abdullah asked why Mehbooba Mufti has not been released. “Is she a criminal?” he thundered.


Asked if her incarceration has begun to affect her, Abdullah asked a question in return: “How can it not? She is a human being after all.”

Abdullah added that whether the National Conference will contest the next state elections is a decision that will be taken, first, democratically within the National Conference itself and he, as president, will not impose his personal thinking. The decision will also be taken in concert with all the other Gupkar parties, he said.

Abdullah said his son Omar Abdullah’s announcement in a recent Indian Express article that he would not contest elections whilst Kashmir remains a Union Territory is Omar’s personal decision and not the position of the National Conference. However, he added that if Omar does not wish to contest, that is his right. Of himself, he said, he would abide by whatever decision the party took collectively.


he is saying he got duped by modi?

Make no mistakes, China has no interest in Kashmir.

Now that YOU have said it, what else remains to be said?? LOL.

On a serious note:
1)This Abdullah guy is indirectly acknowledging the truth that Pakistan is out of this "dispute" now. OR, a mention of Pakistan in this "dispute" is going to boomerang & backfire on him.
2) In 2014, Omar Abdullah, the son of this snake, tweeted "Mark my words & save this tweet - long after Modi Govt is a distant memory either J&K won't be part of India or Art 370 will still exist". These snakes are nothing. They keep hissing from time to time. But if they are not shown their place, they live in the false assumption that everyone is afraid of their "bravery".

Mehboobas and Abdullahs wanted independent Kasmir for their fiefdom with minimal oversight from India. They were never pro India.



Now they have no future in Kashmir. Hence the crying.

You propped them up to serve a purpose. That purpose is served. Now leave them to the dogs.

These served their own and our scamgress purpose. Indian interests are only incidental and was allowed within the ambit of their self interest. India should have taken away their privilege a long time ago, just as today nothing could have happened even then. Congress are Darpoks.

Nail on head.
That is exactly what he wanted to say but he knows the furore that would erupt if he mentions Pakistan. He would also be admitting his own and his father's betrayals of the last 70 years.

Even now the man shows his cowardice.

.
So the chinese can send them to "re-education camps" ?

Maybe India can arrange that, just so they feel more like "home".


agree.

but first indian army has to leave.. or we will send PLA with bats...to drive u out.
 
.
No surprise that you're leaving your own agents hanging out to dry now that the Abdullahs served their purpose. Kashmiris are watching what Hindustan does.
Kashmiris are welcoming the changes.





The islamists grip on these poor people are loosening. It will not be long before they prioritise development over religious affinities.
