"Due to lack of political determination and incompetance, the people of J K are suffering. They are facing the plight of Pseudo democracy for last 60 years. The GOI has done a little just to prevent it from being Talibanised, but failed to make peace and development. Today young people, who have nothing to do with all this Independence and separatism, are finding better prospects outside the state and who can not make it, they are the easy pray for the extremists and anti-Indians. The GOI and the people of J K have to solve this problem together NOW to save if not theirs but their children's future. If the larger mass believe that they can be really Independent and can do well out of Indian sovereignity, they should be allowed without any delay. We have paid a lot to protect one of our body parts, but it should not be compromised with the whole body and soul; humanity and development. What do you people say?"
