It is a familiar ploy of all occupiers and colonisers to paint legitimate struggles for freedom and liberation as terrorism. India is failing to grasp the enormity of the indigenous Kashmiri resistance against its stranglehold, and wrongly blaming it on cross-border terrorism. It must introspect and reflect, and immediately implement the Security Council resolutions which provide for the Kashmiris to exercise their right to self-determination. ...
