On August 5 last year, the Central government in India took the decision to abrogate Article 370 of the constitution, which granted special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, bifurcating the valley into two Union Territories —Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
While on one side, the decision by the Narendra Modi-led government has paved the way for integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of India, on the other side, it is alleged that many people, sitting in the far-off US, are using the abrogation of Article 370 to incite Kashmiris to pick up stones and guns.
One such man named Tony Ashai, who describes himself as a “Kashmiri-American dedicated to Kashmir and its people” on Twitter, has been posting tweets to incite violence.
“Why do I feel that Kashmiris living in Kashmir could do more but they aren’t? Ever since Aug 5 last year I see Diaspora here in US and elsewhere working day and night to advocate the cause but I don’t see the same energy among Kashmiris in Kashmir. Why?” he said in a Twitter post.
After his comments, another user, who goes by the name Al iskandar on Twitter revealed that Tony Ashai is a JKLF member and is very close to actor Shah Rukh Khan.
“Look who is talking the man @tonyashai (Aka Aziz Ashai) who himself is sitting in the cozy rooms of California and provoking Kashmiri Youth to Pick-up Stones and Guns while his own Son Bilal Ashai recently graduated from Los Angeles @USC with Masters Degree.”
Al iskandar further alleged that Ashai has been consistent in spewing hatred against India.
“SRK has used Ashai for a lot of his architecture brains. Moreover @gaurikhan has also been involved with Ashai in a lot of her projects. This is very important to know as Ashai is a masked Peace Activist, he has been spewing venom against India on Indus News, consistently.”
It was also alleged that it was JKLF which funded Ashai’s studies and business.
“Aziz Ashai (Tony Ashai) went to university in buffalo completely funded by JKLF. This Meeting happened after his graduation; The Meeting happened in Italy. JKLF funded his tuition. Moreover, his First business, Ashai design was funded by JKLF itself.”
These tweets convincingly show how men sitting in the confines of their cozy rooms provoke others to take up hostility, not only ruining their lives but also of others.
