00:00because they're not accepting that we are part of India. They say it's still disputed.
00:05Sir, do you believe that Kashmir is still a flashpoint between the three nuclear powers?
00:10It is. We have China on our border. They have captured nearly 2,000 kilometers of our land and
00:17are advancing. Pakistan is on our border. Terrorism is coming from there because they're not accepting
00:28that we are part of India. They say it's still disputed.
00:33Doctor, where do you see Kashmir 10 years from now?
00:37I think if they do not mend relations with both nations, this is going to be a flashpoint for
00:45future. I regret that. Doctor, parliamentary elections were held. Assembly elections are
00:54concluding today, but you didn't participate in these polls. Are you considering retirement from
01:01active politics? Let me tell you what my father told me once when I told him. He didn't want me
01:07to take part in the election. He said once you get into this river, you will either flow with
01:14the current or if you have the strength, you'll be able to fight the current, but you can never
01:20get out of it. So how has your journey been from a doctor to a politician over these decades? It's
01:26been up and down. Nothing is stable. Nothing is stable. It is a terrible journey. I wish I had
01:38listened to my father and not joined politics at that time, but it was meant for me to go through
01:48this. Pure turbulent times in life. Sir, your grandson Zahid delivered a very beautiful speech
01:56at Gandharwal. Can we expect any of your grandsons joining politics soon? That I can't tell.
02:05I don't have Aladdin's lamp that I can rub it and ask the genie whether it's going to happen.
02:12That I do not know. What is in store? I don't know. I wanted my son not to join politics
02:21as my father asked me, but it happened. But do you see a reflection of Sherry Kashmir
02:28in any of your grandchildren? I don't know. Sherry Kashmir was far taller
02:35than my father. And I don't think anybody else can match him. No question.
02:44Doctor, will JNK, Jammu and Kashmir get a new government,
02:51an alliance government of National Conference and Congress? I hope so. I pray so.
02:58I hope it does happen. Because there's no question of aligning with BJP.
