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."
