Liberate Pakistani Kashmir, says RSS chief

Virtually advocating a war with Pakistan, the RSS Wednesday urged the government to ‘liberate’ parts of Kashmir held by Islamabad to arrest the growth of terrorism.

Addressing the annual Dussehra rally here, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said terrorism was on a comeback trail because of the government’s policies on J&K over the past decade.

‘The areas under Pakistani occupation have to be liberated, discrimination in administrative and developmental matters in the case of Jammu, Leh-Ladakh and Kashmir Valley must end,’ he said.

He said J&K should be brought ‘on par’ with the rest of the country to create conditions to enable Hindus compelled to flee the Kashmir Valley to return with honour. Focussing on the eastern parts of India, Bhagwat expressed concern over the ‘progressive depletion’ of the ‘nationalist Hindu population’ due to historical processes.

Despite repeated warnings about infiltration and arms, narcotics and counterfeit currency smuggling into Assam and West Bengal, wrong policies have resulted in grave problems in India’s northeast, he said.
