Boycott ‘everything Kashmiri’, says Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy

Shillong, February 19: Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy on Tuesday supported a call for a boycott of “everything Kashmiri”, including the Amarnath Yatra and purchasing products from the state.

Roy, who describes himself as a right-wing Hindu socio-political thinker, writer and ideologue on Twitter, went on the microblogging site to air his views.

“An appeal from a retired colonel of the Indian Army: Don’t visit Kashmir, don’t go to Amarnath for the next 2 years. Don’t buy articles from Kashmir emporia or Kashmiri tradesman who come every winter. Boycott everything Kashmiri. I am inclined to agree,” he tweeted.

The BJP leader-turned-Governor also referred to the Pakistan Army “who are handling the Kashmiri separatists” and its role in “East Pakistan”, mentioning war crimes like slaughter and rape.

“… And they would have kept East Pakistan but for the whacking from India,” Roy tweeted.

“I am not suggesting that we go that far. But at least some distance?” he wrote.

Roy’s comments come in the wake of the February 14 terror attack by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed terror group in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district. PTI
