Mir Junaid alleges Sheikh Rashid, MP, a National Threat and Traitor Involved in Terror Funding
Langate, Oct 12: Mir Junaid, who contested assembly elections from Langate in a statement issued here said that this evening, he had the honor of meeting with the Honorable Lieutenant Governor, Shri Manoj Sinha, just before his departure for New Delhi.
He said that he will soon be sharing transformative news for the people of Langate—news that will come directly from him, without deception, and with the pure intention of uplifting the region. This stands in stark contrast to the web of lies being spread by Sheikh Rashid, whose recent press release and Facebook post are nothing but fabrications, said Mir in a statement issued here.
He added that Sheikh Rashid, a Member of Parliament who is chargesheeted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for terror funding, has been begging for mercy behind closed doors, not for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, but for himself. At Raj Bhavan, he was not advocating for the development of North Kashmir or the welfare of the humble citizens he claims to represent. Instead, he was pleading for his own escape from justice, trying to evade the terror funding charges that expose him as a traitor and a threat to national security.
Mir further added that the man, who claims to speak for Jammu and Kashmir, is only speaking the language of Pakistan. His efforts are designed to destabilize India and push our youth into the arms of violence. Let me be clear: the resolution of the Kashmir issue is not India’s problem; it is Pakistan’s. Sheikh Rashid is actively working to keep alive issues that were buried on August 5, 2019, when nearly 370 Honorable Parliamentarians of India voted to abrogate Article 370 and 35A, finally declaring that these provisions were deadwood. Following this, the Honorable Supreme Court of India has provided robust affirmation of our constitutional sovereignty and integrity, confirming that matters like independence, referendum, plebiscite, and self-rule are non-existent and null and void.
Mir added that Sheikh Rashid, however, refuses to accept this reality. He is not a leader; he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, pushing a narrative that is not only false but dangerous. His lies about plebiscites and his so-called “solution” for Kashmir are nothing more than an attempt to remain politically relevant while being a national threat. For 15 years, he deceived the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and now, by legitimizing dangerous issues, he is pushing the youth towards violence and destruction for his own political gain.
He in a statement further added that the leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have always maintained that national interest will not be compromised for political interests. So I must ask—what is happening in the case of Sheikh Rashid? Aren’t you compromising national interest by allowing this man, who is chargesheeted for terror funding, to continue his dangerous activities? Please understand, you have miserably failed in experimenting with Sheikh Rashid in Kashmir. He is legitimizing issues that are not only dangerous for the youth of Jammu and Kashmir but are also a direct threat to the security of our nation.
I call upon the Ministry of Home Affairs to take immediate cognizance of this grave situation. Sheikh Rashid is not just a liar—he is a national threat, and his place is not in Parliament, but in Tihar Jail. The Kashmir Police must launch an immediate investigation into his actions. He has betrayed the people of Jammu and Kashmir, the noble people of North Kashmir, and most importantly, he has betrayed the nation. His actions amount to sedition and treason, and it is time for the Government of India to act decisively.
The BJP must remember its own words. National interest must never be compromised for political interest. Sheikh Rashid’s continuous presence in public life is a direct contradiction of this principle. His lies, manipulations, and dangerous narratives are putting the youth of Jammu and Kashmir at risk and threatening the peace and stability of India. The Government of India, and specifically the BJP, must reflect on this and think of the larger interest of the nation.
Sheikh Rashid is no longer just a political figure—he is a legitimizer of dangerous and seditious ideas. His presence is poisoning the minds of our youth, and the consequences are too grave to ignore. It is time to end this experiment, recognize him for the threat he truly is, and ensure that justice is served before more lives are lost.
