Indian Army has killed more civilians than militants in occupied Kashmir: Top Indian leader

NEW DELHI - BJP attacked Congress after militant organisation LeT backed his remarks on Kashmir. Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said at a presser.
He said: “Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said that the army is killing more general people than militants in Kashmir. His remarks are very embarrassing, unfortunate, and irresponsible.”
He said: “Ghulam Nabi Azad insulted Indian Army by saying that Army killing more civilians than militants”
He added: “Lashkar-e-Taiba is supporting the language of which the language Congress leaders are speaking today. For which political benefit, today the Congress party has stood with those who want to break this country.”
In an emailed statement, LeT spokesman Dr Abdullah Ghaznavi quoted chief Mahmood Shah saying that they agreed with Azad and others.
They wrote: “We have been of the same opinion as of the expressions of Ghulam Nabi Azad and others since the beginning. India is up to bringing back the era of Jagmohan by imposing the Governor law so as to sabotage the infrastructure and commit massacre of innocents. It is a move to further intensify the mass killings.”
The outfit chief dubbed the recent Ramzan ceasefire ‘drama’.
The statement also criticised Mehbooba Mufti and said: “Mehbooba Mufti has strived to her excellence in establishing the agenda of RSS in the Valley and Jammu. 8 lakh Indian forces are committing atrocities in Jammu Kashmir.
The people are being suppressed down into slavery by excessive force. But the immense sacrifices by the people of Jammu Kashmir have rendered the likes of Operation All-Out as complete failures. The cease-fire was merely drama. It was intended for covert targets, not for the peacekeeping developments.”
The statement alleged that ‘India was committing gross human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir for 7 decades’.
Speaking to Zee News, Subramanian Swamy compared the incident to the 2005 Wikileaks cable when Rahul Gandhi reportedly told the American embassy that Hindu terror is more dangerous than LeT.
He further said: “This is their old belief."
He also mentioned that Mani Shankar Aiyar had gone to Pakistan but he still hadn't been fired.”
