    Mr.sri, Karkala,
    Sir, Kashmiri is the integral part of India and Kashmiris are part of India. PM Modi government bullet diplomacy in Kashmir and red rose with Naga and ULFA militants can't win the Kashmiris heart.
    We should have 'zero tolerance' with stone throwers. Whether it may be communal rioters attached to fanatic organization or protesting for caste based reservation.
    You have no rights to ask any citizen of India under 'citizenship act' force anyone to relocate. It is the constitutional violation and you are subjected to prosecution based on the IT act as evidence.

    Contest was between National Conference and PDP( both anti-national parties)....BJP was nowhere in the picture...why drag BJP in this...

    @Langoolacharya,Belman

    In alliance with which party PDP (so called ANTI NATIONAL PARTY according to you) formed the government? So what about the party which supported so called Anti national Party (PDP) to form the Government?. But this party is busy branding everyone else as anti national and planning to send them to Pakistan. (Even though their own members caught recently giving secret information to Pakistani ISI agents)
    And your statement that “People choose more Anti National Party” is a direct attack governments formed after recent elections.

    The PDP-BJP's bullet policy has failed in Kashmir.PM Modi's central government has failed in Kashmir. The promises which made after floods is not reaching. The further alienation of Kashmiris brutal use of power is not working.

    PM Modi's government should seriously consider the advice of party seniors like MM Joshi instead of state President Ram Madhav and internal security advisor Ajit Doval.

    If government fail to reach Kashmiris it will advantage for China and Pakistan in diplomacy.

    Why do you have so much sympathy for stone pelters.? Rule is same for PFI and Kashmiris. They need to surrender.
    If they do not want to live in Kashmir they can always move to Pak Afghanistan or Iraq or china

    thank your stars for that! Had the turnout been 100%, your party's vote share could be seen only on the right side of the decimal point!
