SRINAGAR: Kashmiri leader and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday compared the current situation in India with war-hit Syria as she highlighted the “spate of violence” in the country.
She said that people are taking up weapons and killing each other in India. Anyone can see the amount of hatred that is spreading everywhere in India. Ordinary people are ready to take up guns to kill each other. This is something that is happening in Middle Eastern country Syria. There they kill people shouting Allahu Akbar, while in India, people kill by saying, Jai Shri Ram. There is no difference between the two, the Kashmir Media Service reported.
