Held Kashmir: End troop presence as soon as possible, says ex-BJP MP
Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) parliamentarian, eminent lawyer and chairman of the Kashmir committee Ram Jethmalani has said Indian army’s presence in Indian-administered Kashmir should be terminated as soon as possible, the Times of India reported on Saturday.
“Army’s presence should be terminated as soon as possible. But let the terror stop, I am sure army must go,” he said. Interestingly, his remarks come on the same day the Indian army admitted making a ‘mistake’ by shooting dead two teenagers in Indian-administered Kashmir. In regard to this, he said the army personnel involved in the tragic incident “should be dealt with according to the law.”
The teenagers died after soldiers fired at a car on the outskirts of Srinagar on Monday, while another youngster was critically wounded. He said the case should be investigated as to ascertain what led the Indian armed forces to resort to the firing.

So this is news ? The person concerned has zero power or influence in New Delhi, so what he says is simply irrelevant, may as well get some local bazaaris to make such futile statements !
