Chennai: Breathing freedom after spending 106 days in Delhi prison for the INX media case, Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Saturday alleged that Kashmir valley residents were denied freedom by the ruling retrograde government.
Around 75 lakh Kashmiris are being denied freedom by BJP, he said, adding that if the freedom is denied to even one person it meant denying it for all the people, News18 reports.
“In several parts of the nation, freedom is being snatched away and voices of freedom are being choked…and you should not forget it at all,” he told the media.
“Freedom cannot be separated, yours is mine and mine is yours and if I do not protect your freedom, you cannot protect mine,” he said the reporters.
“In this country, a right wing, retrograde (government) is moving towards a fascist type of government that usurped freedom… we have to be very vigilant,” he said after his release.
A nation is truly independent only when its people are in the rest of the nation. He lauded the people of Tamil Nadu who opposed the saffron party and said such kind of opposition should spread across the nation and that was his desire he said.
