NEW DELHI: Prominent Indian journalist and human rights activist Arundhati Roy has said India can’t achieve its objective in the occupied Kashmir valley even if its army deployment increases from 7 lakh to 70 lakh.
In an article after her recent visit to Srinagar, Roy called the Indian aggression in the Kashmir ‘shameful’ and said that the New Delhi`s oppression can’t subdue Kashmiri struggle.
She lambasted the Indian government, saying the government bars its authors from expressing their thoughts and put them in jail those who raise their voice against injustices and regretted that corrupt elements, rapists, and other criminals were set free on the other hand.
The journalist also reportedly said that Modi government was not allowing authors and journalists to express their views on Kashmir and they are being jailed for speaking against the Indian Army atrocities after the army recently cordoned off 20 villages in Shopian district in Kashmir.
