Srinagar, January 26: The veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani has said that India has no right to celebrate the Republic Day in occupied until it gives right to self determination to people of Kashmir.
Gilani, while talking to Dr R K Jain Director of Jain TV Channel in New Delhi, stated that he was not against the Republic Day celebrations and people of India but wanted right to self-determination.
“We are not against dialogue but India has never been serious in its efforts,” he added. He made it clear that the Indian government must show flexibility and avoid confrontation.
He said that spending most of the budget on defence was only because of Kashmir dispute and the issue can’t be buried under the carpet.
