Zeenews Bureau

New Delhi, Aug 19: Congress has reacted sharply over author and activist Arundhati Roy’s statement that the people of Kashmir have made themselves abundantly clear that they want complete freedom and the government should pay heed to their demands.

Congress spokesperson told media that Roy has given a very irresponsible statement and the law of the land would deal with it. The party further reacted by saying that India is committed to the cause of Jammu and Kashmir but there is no need for negotiation on this issue.

Roy who had advocated freedom of Kashmir in a rally on Monday had said, “ The reaction of the people in Kashmir is actually a referendum. People don't need anyone to represent them; they are representing themselves. India needs freedom from Kashmir as much as Kashmir needs freedom from India.”
