00:00BGP leader Ravinder Rehna now joins us. Let's quickly speak with him. Mr. Rehna, thank you very much for speaking
00:05with India today.
00:07You've heard the comments made by Mr. Farouk Abdullah. First, I would like to ask you, what is your reaction
00:13to it?
00:14This is a very, very unfortunate statement made by a very senior political leader who remained the Chief Minister of
00:22Jammu and Kashmir and also remained the Union Minister.
00:25Dr. Farouk Abdullah is saying that someone else is protecting Kashmir is a highly condemnable statement.
00:34He again quoting and he's saying that pointing towards Pakistan. Pakistan is a murderer of people of Jammu and Kashmir.
00:44For the last 30, 35 years, Pakistan killed the innocent Kashmiris.
00:50It is Pakistan who waged the war against India, who sent terrorists into the Jammu and Kashmir to kill the
00:57innocent people.
00:58And today, Dr. Farouk Abdullah is saying we are here being protected by them.
01:03This is a very derogatory statement, highly condemnable statement.
01:08I think it comes under sedition charges.
01:12How one person can say that about Pakistan that they are protecting?
01:18Pakistan is a murderer of people of Jammu and Kashmir.
01:21We have suffered. We are living in Jammu and Kashmir.
01:24I know how we have badly been targeted by Pakistan, Pakistani terrorists, who's providing guns, who's providing all weapons to
01:34the terrorists,
01:34who's providing all logistics support to the terrorists and who's feeding them.
01:40It is Pakistan.
01:41And it is the same Dr. Farouk Abdullah who once said, had I been the Prime Minister of India, I
01:47would have decimated Pakistan when there was a terror attack in civil secretariat in Kashmir Valley.
01:54The same Dr. Farouk Abdullah came out and said, I will see how to deal Pakistan.
02:01Right, Mr. Rana, as you, you know, raise that thing, that his comments have been something contrary of what we
02:07hear right now.
02:08Today also, when he made this comment, there was a slight rider he put in.
02:12He said that they are protecting us, otherwise their intentions are not good.
02:17So, do you feel that this grey approach that he...
02:22I would like to ask a question from India today to Dr. Farouk Abdullah.
02:26He should tell the nation how they are protecting us.
02:30How?
02:31By which manner?
02:33On one hand, their intention is not good, but they are protecting us.
02:37How they can protect us?
02:38They are murderers.
02:40They are killers.
02:41They convert Kashmir into the graveyards.
02:46They butchered the innocent Kashmiris.
02:50They were involved, even in the United Nations General Assembly.
02:54See the statement made by the Pakistan's Prime Minister.
02:57See what their leadership is repeatedly saying.
03:01And here, you are enjoying all luxuries of life.
03:05You are getting all benefits from India.
03:07You are getting all security from India.
03:10And you are saying that you are being protected by Pakistan?
03:14How?
03:15How?
03:16Pakistan targeted the Srinagar town.
03:19Pakistan targeted Rajori Punch.
03:21All low-sea and international borders in Jammu and Kashmir.
03:25The same Dr. Farouk Abdullah then said, we are grateful to Indian Army for protecting us.
03:30We are grateful to Prime Minister Modi Sahab for protecting us.
03:35And today, for his mere World Bank politics, dirty World Bank politics, and he is saying he is being protected
03:43by someone else.
03:45Very unfortunate and very shameful statement made by Dr. Farouk Abdullah.
03:49Very shameful statement.
03:51Okay.
03:52Mr. Rayna, what about Mr. Farouk Abdullah's frustration with their demand?
03:58Or rather, the many political parties of the Kashmir have been demanding the statehood.
04:02It seems that they have once again tried to make an issue.
04:06They are saying that Delhi cannot be trusted because they have been asking for that for a very long time.
04:13Anyway, thank you very much, Mr. Rayna, for speaking with India today.
