The Jammu and Kashmir People’s Conference chairman, Sajad Lone has said that the government should take lessons from the past and not resort to hard policy and to the arrests etc. to normalize the situation.

He said that such actions only compound the problems on the ground and it will only add to the alienation.

While taking to twitter he said, “I strongly disagree. If you think that they r not patriotic enough because they cheered for another team- u should have the courage and the belief to wean them back if u think they have gone patriotically astray. Punitive actions won’t help”

Lone was replying to a Tweet, wherein the user had sought action against students of GMC and SKIMS for cheering for Pakistan cricket team after they defeated India in the opening game of T20 World Cup on Sunday.

In another tweet he said, “We live in Kashmir and  have to live with those who r ideologically opposed to us. But we’re confident that it is a game of narratives of discourses. And that we will win. We will convince all about the goodness of our ideology. We will prevail. But that that is if u allow us to”.
