[Reader-list] DU allows ‘seminar’ blasting Govt; Geelani is star speaker

[Pawan Durani]

shivam,

there are journalists who are being paid by separatists in kashmir to
write for azaadi cause ,also kashmir is a distribution ground for fake
currency.

I was wondering whether these paid up writers get fake currency in compensation.

do u as a knowledgeable writer with interest in kashmir shed Some light.

I am not saying u may be one of them,but ur knowledge on the subject
may be interesting.
