Nation won't tolerate if Gupkar Alliance refuses to unfurl tricolour, says BJP & year of lies in J&K

#ThePrintDebates
"When Mufti, Omar & Farooq Abdullah were under detention, there was no stone pelting," said former deputy CM of J&K and BJP leader Nirmal Singh, to which Peoples Democratic Party's Waheed Para hit back, "BJP is the biggest threat to nationalism and idea of India."

Watch ThePrint Debates moderated by National & Strategic Affairs Editor Jyoti Malhotra as Singh & Parra debate the alliance behind the Gupkar Declaration, revocation of Article 370, the idea of 'Naya Kashmir' and the opportunity PM Modi has to reopen dialogue with the people of the Union Territory.

“Right to dissent is not available” says the guy who’s refusing to unfurl the flag...

[prasannavenkatesvaran]

This debate was lost at 15:27 when the PDP spokesperson Waheed sidestepped the fact that Mr Farooq Abdullah did make a statement to the effect that people of Kashmir would be happier being ruled by China.

[subhakantasahoo]

They talk something here and another thing infront of Kashmiri people..
You can't trust these bigots and two faced people.

[cadarsh]

Kashmir isn't a different land, its INDIA.
Its good for each to accept it whole heartedly else things will go offroad.
Man se bhed bhav nikaliye baaki sab theek hojayga try to cooperate and not force things by violence.

Growth Development Literacy is what will fix the issue but will take time.

[raghuthunder]

They will not follow Indian constitution
They will give respect to Indian flag
They will not tolerate ppl from other part of India

but what they want enjoy is Indian secularism & freedom of speech; which they use as sheild to protect them against their anti national activities & corruption.

modi is done very right thing, I was very much needed

Bjp is not a threat to Muslims, its a threat to Radicals ... Bjp is not providing them the political cuddling they are used to with.... If people expect respect from others then please regulate the nature of behaviour... Aggression and threat will not work anymore... BJP is a reactive force, they are telling the untold dissatisfaction of common common rule of law is the way forward, "SAYARI and false information will not work in the long run".

[ashokkumars]

Let them beat their chest. They have not come out of the shock of abrogation of 370. 😂😂😂

[DP-witr]

Jyoti Malhotra comes out as an antinational biased journalist. Abdullah was not jailed, he was in his own home

[ahpoddar]

Very balanced debate !! Congratulations to the staff of the print for conducting this..

[arunhuddar]

As per the constitution, 370 was temporary. 370 and 35A were abrogated in the parliament after several days of deliberation. We are done with 370 - the temporary Act. Time for PDP and the people of Kashmir to look at how to integrate with rest of India and work towards development rather than keep thinking we are a special state. A lot of money was pumped in the past which does not reflect in their development

[PrantikChatterjee]

When were the CMs put in jail? Blatant lying and provacation?

[anonymousisbest.]

Very informative debate. 👍 Very well done.

[kangafinancial]

SHEKHARJI PLEASE OPEN A LAHORI DESK AND MAKE JYOTI MALHOTRA PART OF IT. WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL.

[pallavved]

Can Faruqe and pdp reply .. thousands of kashmiri pandits killed... And islamisation of Kashmir

[NikhilVasishtR]

This is a way a debate should be held. Here we have two people on opposite sides, truly opposite sides, and see how they wait their turn to speak, as the mediator remains calm throughout, asking both of them hard hitting questions, without any bias.
I'd gladly pay for this brand of journalism.

[danishbiochem]

They have the right to hoist what flag they want. Just as Indians did when under British rule.

[noelcastelino]

How can you rule a people without their consent? Impossible.

[ravichadha]

The PPP man is saying that KASHMIRIS are being uprooted. I want to ask him when kashmiri pandits were driven out of kashmir, were they not uprooted.. Then Farooq Abdullah, then CM, closed his eyes and said " if pandits want to come back they can come, I am not going to call them. I think Govt. Of India should have taken all these steps at that time only.

[Tinomannil]

Irony is he is from rss and never raise tricolor flag for a long time.now he is blaming other's.
