Srinagar, January 24 (KNS): Mudasir Karim, Youth JKPC President, has expressed strong reservations about Ms. Rouble Nagi's recent visit to Kashmir, where she met with selected individuals from minority communities.
In a scathing statement, Mudasir Karim said, "Another 'expert' speaking on minorities in Kashmir without a clue! As a so-called member of the National Commission for Minorities, her words hold weight, but does she have the authority? Ministry of Minority Affairs India, Mr. Kiren Rijiju Ji, can you please send someone to Kashmir who's done their homework? Someone who genuinely understands the complexities and nuances of the minority communities in Kashmir."
Mudasir Karim questioned the credibility of Ms. Nagi's statements, particularly with regards to the Shia community. "Mentioning Shia's in her press conference without context or credibility is not just confusing, but also irresponsible.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelHas she even met these people? Does she have any understanding of their struggles, their aspirations, and their concerns?"
Mudasir Karim emphasized the need for genuine engagement and representation, rather than superficial PR visits. "GOI should identify genuine organizations & individuals who truly represent minority communities, rather than just making PR visits. We need meaningful dialogue, not tokenism. We need policies that address the real concerns of minority communities, not just photo-ops."
