"We firstly condemn in strongest possible way, killings of Bengali migrant workers in valley. It is a shameful incident. And we have to say that responsibility of incident lies squarely with utter failure of policies regarding Jammu & Kashmir by Modi government and Amit Shah as Home Minister of India. y are telling lies to people of India that re is rmalcy in Kashmir. re is rmalcy in Kashmir. Kashmiri representatives are all locked up in jails. So who is re politically to fight se forces? Modi and Amit Shah are directly responsible for se terrible incidents in Kashmir," CPI(M) Polit Bureau member and senior leer Brinda Karat told Republic TV on Wednesday.

Regarding European Union delegates visiting Kashmir, Brinda said, "I believe, to arrange visit to brief delegates -- is to d grave insult to grievous injury which is being inflicted on Parliament, Constitution of India and democratic rights of people of Kashmir. You do t allow Members of Parliament and political leers to visit re and keep representatives of people and civil society locked up and do t allow any political activity in Kashmir except for those under BJP-RSS flag. And you allow EU delegation and pare m around. And who are members of se delegations? y are right-wing representatives who share same sectarian approach as Mr Modi and Amit Shah represent."

We are demanding rmalcy and restoration of democratic rights in Kashmir and release of all prisoners who have been arrested during August 5th decision. We demand full communication should be restored in Kashmir and most importantly you have to restore automy of Jammu & Kashmir. You are demeaning people of Kashmir by reducing its status from State to Union Territory. re is thing to celebrate because you are destroying democracy and rights of people of Kashmir."
