(IPT) A Kashmir Solidarity Day event, dedicated to promoting the Islamist narrative on a decades-old conflict, drew the radicalized son of a prominent jihadist as well as a sitting member of Congress.
U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., spoke at the Feb. 5 webinar sponsored by Justice for All, the activist arm of the Chicago-based multimedia company Sound Vision. Sound Vision is an offshoot of the proselytizing group, the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA).
Tlaib discussed a 2019 voiding of a 70-year-old “temporary” provision that divided the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) into two federally administered territories that are now governed directly by New Delhi.
She described “the horrific images, the horrific actions by the Indian government,” in the aftermath of the 2019 action. “We know that it [India] continues that form of oppression, not only … in Kashmir, but all around the country, but we are stronger when we come together and fight against those injustices.”
