RSS chief day dreaming: Soz

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Oct 4: Former Union Minister and veteran Congress leader, Prof Saifuddin Soz today said that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat was day dreaming by projecting sea change in J&K after abrogation of Article 370.
“In his frustration, the RSS chief addressed a gathering of RSS cadres at Jammu, the other day, where he asked for concrete results, particularly, the change in the minds of the people of J&K State, after abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution of India. I have a feeling that since he does not have much information about the people of Kashmir, he indulged in day dreaming.”
“Bhagwat seems to be absolutely ignorant of Kashmiris’ tryst in history of their survival under Mughals, Pathans, Sikhs and Dogras. The history is that the people of Kashmir had proved their mettle in their struggle for freedom,” Soz said.
“It was, therefore, that Maharaja Ranjit Singh wrote to his last Governor in Kashmir that, ‘whoever of my officers is appointed in Kashmir, before occupying himself with anything, he must make the people happy and earn their good wishes. Kashmiris are worshippers of one Universal Almighty and their prayers shall bring the Maharaja and his Kingdom prosperity and felicity,” he added.
