Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad on Monday said that “India’s crown is burning but the heat hasn’t yet reached Delhi”.
Questioning silence of Prime Minister Modi on Kashmir, which India calls its crown, Azad said: “Hindustan ka Taj jal raha hai, par uski garmi Delhi tak nahi pahuchti (India’s crown is burning but the heat hasn’t yet reached Delhi).”
Expressing anguish and pain at the continuous 30-day curfew, Sitaram Yechury (CPI-M) said there was nothing working in the Valley except armed forces.
“More than 1000 incidents of firing have happened. More than 8000 are injured and 60 dead,” he said describing the use of pellet guns and “inhuman” and “criminal”.
Stating that even Israel does not use pellet guns against Palestinians, he said the situation cannot be solved by law and order machinery.
