MOSCOW – The persistent issue of the disputed lands of Kashmir has sparkedan online brawl with a Russian journalist slamming an Indian authoraspiring to conquer the disputed region.

Foreign correspondent for Russia Today, Sameera Khan became the target ofbacklash from across the border after she tweeted in opposition of theIndian occupation of Kashmir.

After the offended Indians started hurling similar references of Russianoccupied Crimea her way, the journalist spared no time to give the socialmedia users a much-needed history lesson.

“Unlike in Indian-occupied Kashmir, a plebiscite was held in Crimea todetermine its status, with international observers present. Nearly 97% ofCrimeans (83% turnout) voted to join Russia — a decision that reflected themajority Russian population of Crimea,” stated her tweet.

Indian writer and activist Sadhavi Khosla was quick to respond to Sameera’sunadulterated thread with a sharp retort.

Upon the Russian analyst getting accused of fuelling a certain agenda,Sameera reminded her audience that she is a US citizen working for aRussian media outlet talking about an issue that has no correlation withthe aforementioned facts.

Presently the Occupied Kashmir is undergoing tumultuous circumstances withIndian troops attacking unarmed protesters, three of whom were martyred onSaturday as well.
