The Kashmir files

I’m keen to know their stand on the Kashmir files, the very people who raised the issue of Kashmir during the last election campaign , more eager on tapping their communal vote bank than promoting their development and governance agenda.
They are so caught up by their communal politics/scientific communalism that they are not even aware that the politics of dynasty, religion and opportunistic alliances no longer cuts ice with the electorate.
Didn't hear them, though so vocal about the double standards of the West on the Russian invasion of Ukraine !!! Sorry , the Russian "special operation in Ukraine " (sic)
The Kashmir files! - they are likely to dismiss it as another creation of them versus us ....of conspiracy theorists...
Added: An observation-from the vantage point of our much-desired, national dream of Mauritianism- on our hypocritical mores and petty politicisation of identity which actually divides rather than unites us. …there are more important issues that affect the daily lives of the Mauritian than taking up a complex foreign issue like Kashmir to assert one’s communal identity.

Note : lir today’s Hebdo, see how this newspaper glisse ça subtilement “mé mo pas coné si tou seki inn arrivé li vré “ and ‘un film controversé’ ; call it a Modi product and hang it! In many genocide cases-the indigenous people of Americas,Australia,Africa and Asia and recently Cambodia,Darfur, the Tutsis, the Armenians…it’s difficult/distressing for the perpetrators and their sympathizers to acknowledge/accept it!
