New Delhi: In yet another instance of his disagreement with team member and lawyer-activist Prashant Bhushan's remarks on Kashmir, veteran social activist Anna Hazare today said "Kashmir is an integral part of India."
In what seemed to be a swipe at Mr Bhushan for suggesting a referendum on Kashmir, Mr Hazare, in his blog, said, "Some people talk incoherent things about Kashmir..."
Here is the full text of Mr Hazare's blog:
My Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Namaskar!
Some people talk incoherent things about Kashmir related issues but they are unaware of the fact that when I was in the army I had taken active part in India-Pakistan war as a soldier. All my colleagues attained martyrdom on the border during the war with Pakistan. But I miraculously survived.
It was then I pledged the rest of my life in the service of my country.
Even today you can see the marks on my forehead left behind by Pakistan's bullet. This is my active conviction that Kashmir is an integral part of India and will remain so. Today once again if I have to, am ready to take part in war against Pakistan. But some people can only speak and don't do anything on ground (in reality for Kashmir) and this is unfortunate.
