Dated 8 Sep 2016
Roots in Kashmir salutes the brave girl Shabroza from Badgam for the immense courage displayed by her by raising the Indian flag at her house roof top in Badgam district, in the process defying the writ of separatists and their masters based out of Pakistan and showing way to many Kashmiris who are patriotic and Indian but don’t have the courage to express it due to the threat of violence and terrorism.
Addressing a gathering of Roots in Kashmir members, Ashish Zutshi, senior member, Roots in Kashmir said “No one understands the price one has to pay to be nationalistic in Kashmir better than Kashmiri Pandits and hence the Roots in Kashmir is worried about the safety and security of this young Kashmiri girl.”
At the meeting it was unanimously agreed by all members present that the group will provide all possible support to Shabroza including the completion of her education outside the valley in case she feels threatened or finds it difficult to pursue her studies in the valley.
Aroop Rayu, spokesperson, Roots in Kashmir said “as a fellow Kashmiri girl, I assure Shabroza that all the girls and all the members of Roots in Kashmir are with her”
