Loyal to India, say separatist leaders’ kin; BJP hails shift

The BJP on March 23 termed the public renouncement of separatism by the kin of two prominent separatist leaders in Kashmir “a significant shift towards peace and prosperity”.  

“The stance taken by [separatist Shabir Shah’s daughter] Sama Shabir and [late Hurriyat chairman Syed Ali Geelani’s granddaughter] Ruwa Shah is not just symbolic but also practical, as it reflects the aspirations of many young Kashmiris who seek a future free from conflict and instability,” BJP leader Varinder Sharma said.
