Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students union vice-president Shehla Rashid Shora has given a call for uniting against the Narendra Modi government, saying India under the NDA regime is at war with its “own people, not against China or Pakistan.”
“China or Pakistan are (sic) tropes — to incite hatred against Indian citizens who may be culturally closer to China or Pakistan. We must ensure that this power (Modi government) must not last very long. The powerless must unite to fight the powerful,” the Kashmiri firebrand stated in a Facebook post.
The student leader questioned the role of the security forces in the killing of civilians in Kashmir.
“They tell us that the military is meant for fighting the terrorists. But most of the time, it is the civilians who are killed. They tell us that special powers for the Army are necessary for national unity. But, the Army only teaches us how to hate India,” she added.
“They say the University is anti-national because it wants to break India. But, it’s the University that teaches us to love Indians. Then, who is anti-national? Those who teach us how to hate India, or those who teach us how to love Indians?” she wondered.
Shora also mentioned in her post about the “trolls and bhakts” abusing her using filthy languages through posts on Twitter.
