Ahead of the Lok Sabha poll results, bureaucrat-turned-politician Shah Faesal said people in Kashmir valley were looking forward to a “window of change” with a hope that the new government would take steps to address the Kashmir issue. Though critical of the policies of the BJP vis-à-vis Kashmir, Faesal said he could only hope that they learn from their past mistakes.
“Kashmiris are looking forward to a window of change. Last five years have been extremely distressing times for Kashmiris because the BJP had many scary things in its manifesto like the abolition of Article 370, abolition of 35A.....Kashmiris are hopeful that the new government will deliver a change,” Faesal said while talking to The Tribune.
