Sajad Lone criticizes separatist leaders for ‘glorifying’ adversaries

Srinagar, Oct 12:  People’s Conference (PC) Chief Sajad Gani Lone took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to launch a scathing critique against unnamed separatist leaders, accusing them of "glorifying" forces that were once responsible for the suffering and persecution of their colleagues.

In a strongly-worded post, Lone expressed disappointment over certain separatist leaders who, according to him, had seemingly forgotten the sacrifices and struggles of their peers, news agency KNS reported.

He highlighted that some of these leaders never faced imprisonment or torture themselves but are now seen praising the very forces that had jailed, tortured, or even killed their colleagues during Kashmir's long-standing conflict.

"Some so-called separatist leaders who never went to jail, never experienced torture seem to have forgotten the killings, torture, and jailing of their colleagues. They are actually glorifying the very forces that either killed their colleagues or tortured them or jailed them. What a shame. Such a short memory. Time has come to name and shame them," Lone posted on his official X-handle.
