The land row has triggered off communal passions in Jammu. What is your view?
It is a canard being spread that the Jammu agitation is a communal struggle. For the last 46 days, there has been no communal violence. One incident at Kashtiwar needs to be probed. Muslims support our struggle because they feel an injustice has been done to people in Jammu.
Is it a struggle of Jammu versus Kashmir?
People in Jammu are nationalists and we carry the tricolour in our hands. In Kashmir, people openly unfurl Pakistani flags and chant anti-India slogans. Still, the Centre believes in appeasement and ignores Jammu.
The perception in Kashmir is that you have enforced economic blockade?
There is no economic blockade. It is an attempt by separatists in Kashmir to divert the attention from the real issue for their vested interests.
— Professor Narendra Singh, member of the Shri Amarnath Sangrash Simiti (SASS)
