Pride or Shame
Unnerved by massive turnout in election rallies being conducted by various political parties in the Kashmir Valley, the shocked hardcore hawk Syed Ali Geelani has said he will not press for election boycott. Finding alibi for the face-saving, he apprehended that boycott would help Bhartiya Janata Party to get seats in Kashmir. The people of the Valley have hurled biggest ever snub to pampered secessionists by ignoring their threats and attempts of coercion through Jihadis.Is it a matter of pride or shame for the so-called mainstream parties to try secessionist formula for polarising the scenario despite the fact that separatism had lost sheen in Kashmir?
