It’s a mercenary movement not a freedom struggle: Jitendra on Kashmir

JAMMU: Terming as farce Pakistan’s oft- repeated claim that a “freedom movement” was on in Kashmir, Union Minister Jitendra Singh today said it is a “manufactured struggle” and a “mercenary movement” that has graduated into an industry.

He said the youths in the Valley have now understood the nefarious designs of the elements, who have been using them as “sacrificial goat” while their own children are lodged in safe havens.

“There is no such thing like freedom struggle at all in Kashmir. It is a farce. It is a manufactured freedom struggle.

“It is a mercenary movement, which has gradually graduated into an industry now, in which there are huge vested interests involved and such people carry out mayhem in the name of freedom struggle,” Singh, who is Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region, told reporters here today.
