Activists with Wahhabi links hold ‘Stand with Kashmir’ classes globally
Chinese telecom giant Huawei’s plans to participate in the 5G trials in India have run into rough weather post the pro-pakistan stand taken by China at the United Nations, apart from the recent “alarming” incidents that have come to the fore related to Huawei, two senior government sources told The Sunday Guardian. The sources said that the government was actively considering whether or not to allow Huawei to participate in the lucrative 5G trials.
This has come even after India’s ambassador in Beijing, Vikram Misri, was summoned to the Chinese foreign ministry on 10 July and warned that there could be “reverse sanctions” on InProfessors and social activists with close links to the stances favoured by the Wahhabi lobby, are extensively helping in organising “Stand with Kashmir Teach-in” classes to spread a fake narrative about the situation in the valley to fuel a global protest against the abrogation of Article 370, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
From Delhi to Washington DC and from Frankfurt to Hyderabad—“stand with Kashmir Teach-in” classes are being held across the world, mostly in capital cities, to propagate lies and incite a violent protest against the abrogation of J&K’S special status. Those holding these classes are being funded by the Kashmiri separatist propakistan Wahhabi lobby. Ever since the abrogation of Article 370, Indian intelligence agencies have been worried about the growing presence of Wahhabism in the valley, which has the aim to incite armed violence. Such “teach in” classes are being seen as a sign of growing Wahhabi involvement in the global campaign to spread sympathy for the Two-nation theory on which Article 370 is based, and which was the foundation of the Pakistan movement prior to Independence.
In a telephonic conversation with this reporter, Nisha, a Washington-based policy analyst who attended a “Stand with Kashmir Teachin” class in Washington DC said: “What I saw at the event held in Washington DC, was truly shocking for me and the lecture gave no hope that Kashmir will ever see a solution of the existing situation. The room was packed mostly with Kashmiri Muslims who were being taught a false history of Jammu and Kashmir. The PPT presentation showcased images of how the Indian military was involved in torturing children, women and Kashmiri youths, but did not tell the real situation on the ground. Wahhabi activists were present in full force to spread a false narrative about the valley.”
The “teach in” class started with Dr Hafsa Kanjwal, who narrated her version of the history of Kashmir from 1930. Kanjwal spoke about the “struggle” of the Kashmiris and how the community always wanted a separate identity/land that was being occupied by the Indian military, and also of the “role” played by one leader—sheikh Abdullah. Her talk was only about his exile, and omitted the corruption his family lineage has brought to J&K. “Though I had thoughts on every point she made, I will not say that the history and sentiments she orated were totally untrue—but it was definitely a partially told one,” a source attending her lecture told The Sunday Guardian.
Quasba, who is a Kasmiri Pandit and was present at the “teach in” class held in Washington DC, said: “When the PPT slide on 1990 insurgency appeared, I was eagerly looking at it to see or hear about the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits so my heart could rest in peace knowing that our ethnic cleansing was not overlooked. However, to my dismay, the words ‘Kashmiri Hindus’ or ‘Kashmiri Pandits’ or ‘indigenous Kashmiri Hindu population’ were not uttered throughout the 15-20 minute presentation on Kashmir.”
