Woke up to troubling news on the home front. "We learn from history that we really DON'T learn from history!" #DontRepeat1971 We "Kicked" out elected members from #Assembly & they assembled elsewhere. #Sanity need of the hour. #DissentIsNotTreason #AskingForRightsisConstitutional

If what #India has done in #Kashmir is supposed to benefit the #Kashmiris why aren't they out on the roads dancing for joy.... Not just in Kashmir but in other parts of India. Why is security being deployed for their 'safety' ... Where are the voices of #Kashmiris ?
