Jammu and Kashmir killings result of Modi Government’s failure to find political solution: D. Raja

Killings of Hindu minority and cross-border incursions result of this, he says
The Government had billed abrogation of Article 370 as a permanent solution towards bringing peace to Kashmir and yet we see a spurt in civilian killings, CPI General Secretary D. Raja said on Tuesday.
The Government, he said, has failed to provide a political solution to what is essentially a political problem. “The abrogation of Article 370, snatching away statehood of Jammu and Kashmir and splitting it into two pieces did not restore normalcy and peace. The Government has not won the confidence, hearts and minds of people of Jammu and Kashmir,” Mr. Raja said.
The recent killings of the Hindu minority and the cross-border incursions are a result of this, he said.

It is not often that an election in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation makes much news outside Kerala or even the capital. But the elections in 2020 were different as it culminated in the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)]’s Arya Rajendran becoming the youngest Mayor of the Corporation at the age of 21, an event which got attention far and wide. Now, five years later, an old tweet on that election by another young person in the running to be the Mayor of New York has gone viral.
