Hats off to MP Ruhullah Mehdi.As a displaced KP, I salute him for his honesty and human heart. I have seen first Parliamentarian from Kashmir during last 3 decades who spoke about the plight of displaced KPs in his Muslims voters gathering in Kashmir valley. You have a larger role of not only reducing mental distances between displaced KPs and KMs but also between Kashmiris and Dogras and also to work for emotional integration of Kashmiri Muslims with India as constional integration has led to their emotional disintegration.

Kashmiri muslims are purely communal and want sepration from secular India. Communal areas can be kept with India through military might only. Giving importance to political leaders will not serve any purpose and therefore is futile and may result in further complication of the issue.

One of the best parliamentarian Mr Ruhullah Mehdi. Hatts off to him for talking about Jk with that courage and he used the term "oppressed" inspite of minority. It shows his secular mindset. Love you sir 🙏
I guess I voted for right person.

My father was in a dire emergency situation and I have seen the people who were there to give blood, there can be no classification whatsoever. Wake up Dear All. Pray for this person and everyone.❤🙏🙏
Post August 2019, in the parliament session one of NC senior MPs, raised the question of compensation for farmers whose trees had fallen due to snow fall. He did not raise the most important issue of article 370.It was heart breaking and Shameful. This brave marad e momin(Aga Syed Rohullah sahib) has taught all the muslim leaders a lesson that how to be fearless and honest to ideologies. This young leader has won our hearts. He is not a politician but a true leader of Kashmir. I am from his home town. He belongs to the most respected family of the valley. He has never compromised with his ideology. He is our true representative. Har lehza hai momin ki nai shaan nai aan guftar mein kirdaar mein Allah ki burhan!
Great leader!

8:28 Sir I am very happy u have raised almost every minority problems but unfortunately unable to address the problem of caste within Islam and Sikhism. Read why sikhs never wanted Ambedkar to convert to Sikhism. Hindu dharm me bahat reforms hue hai age bhi hoga. But muslims also should adress the problems within islam. It's not just radical islam also women rights . Even so called higher caste muslims don't go masjids of lower caste . We should do away with all evils of every religion . Majority of hindus do not subscribe the ideals of hindutva . They have given their mandate . Now it's also the time for muslims to adress this problem .

Muslims are in minority in India. They comprise 15 to 18% of Indian population. Can you give them reservation in Parliament and army and all central Govt jobs ?. Ask Your Sangh Pariwar first..then ask this question..
Thank you wire for bringing this story. ❤ 99% of Muslims of India believe in the same Democratic ideology and we have lost people who believed in this idea and will be ready to stand for Democratic rights because as he mentioned very correctly that we are suppressed extremely in last 10 years so we feel the pain of being oppress.

Modi has created a divide which is going to take generations to erase. I'm not sure if it is even possibility at this point. Politics should be on who can make India, not break India. Indira broke Pakistan into two pieces, Modi broke India itself into multiple pieces on the basis of religion and caste.
