Kavitha’s controversial comments of Kashmir

Kalvakuntla Kavitha, a Member of Parliamanet from Nizamabad Lok Sabha constituency, who is more aptly known as the daughter of the Chief Minister of Telangana KCR, made adverse comments reportedly on Kashmir issue to a National Newspaper. The same has stirred a controversy. According to the report, she compared and equated the issues of Telangana and Kashmir and argued that both were separate countries but were vehemently merged with India after Independence. She even went to say India is claiming some parts of Kashmir which does not belong to it.

“We need to come out clean on Jammu and Kashmir. Few parts were not ours, we should agree, we should redraw the international lines, and move on”, she said. Kavitha added if India solves the Kashmir issue, the country can afford to decrease the defense allotments in budgets and use that money for sensitive issues like women welfare and poverty elimination. One more controversial statement of Kavitha in the interview is that she reportedly said that she was ashamed of being a citizen of a country where there are no bathrooms for girls in schools.
