India has been at war with Pakistan ever since the British left the country.
The reason is not too far to fetch.
Pakistan's primary areas of interest lies in Jammu and Kashmir and it has successfully managed to create a wedge between Kashmiris and non-Kashmiris.
It has also managed to propagate an obnoxious narrative that the minorities in India are secondry citizens, despite the truth that thousands of Pakistani Sikhs and Hindus undergo religious discrimination in their backyard.
Pakistan has made almost all countries believe that it is India that is making life hell for the minorities, not them.
Sadly, this narrative has been carried forward in India by the Lutyens media and fake liberals including Muftis and Abdullahs.
Shah Faesal and Shehla Rashid have been trying to paint a grim picture of Kashmir after Narendra Modi government abrogated the decades old Article 370, which conferred unconstitutional privileges to Kashmir while discriminating against the rest of the country.
The Lutyens media also indulged in all sorts of fear mongering. Rajdeep Sardesai, Shekhar Gupta and Barkha Dutt shouted from the rooftops that Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah were about to open the gates of hell.
They concocted scare stories like the US would condemn and impose sanctions on India and our economy would plunge.
Yet another story they brewed was that the Pakistanis would infiltrate into Kashmir and ignite a full-blown war between India and Pakistan.
Kashmiris would unleash the mother of all terrorist movements that would cause civil war in India - was another story they cooked.
They also tried propagating fake narrative of how Indian citizens have lost faith in its democracy, but the high voter turnout during Block Development Council elections held last month contradicts their political agenda.
Kashmiris have yet again reposed their faith in India’s democracy by turning in large numbers to exercise their voting rights in BDC elections and giving two hoots to blatant anti-India politics played by the Congress, PDP and National Conference.
The BDC elections in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir along with Leh and Ladakh recorded a historic 98 per cent voter turnout.
The elections were held on October 24 since 1947. There were over 1,080 candidates in the fray in 310 blocks. Out of all the candidates, 27 were elected unopposed, while independents swept the fray with 217 blocks while the BJP bagged 81 blocks and Congress, which controlled the erstwhile state, could manage to win one block.
The Union Territory had never recorded such a large turnout in polling during imposition of Article 370.
These are very positive signs for the well-being of Jammu-Kashmir, Leh and Ladakh union territories and also convey total rejection of politics played by Muftis and Abdullahs by their people. And there is not a single word written by the Lutyens media on this. After all, they vouch for Tabrez, not Kamlesh.
They are okay with a chief minister whose party won 30-odd seats in Karnataka, but not with a chief minister whose party won 40 seats in Haryana.
