When Kashmir was on the boil in the aftermath of Burhan Wani’s killing, and the civilians were suppressed by the armed security forces, Indian parliamentarian Sitaram Yechury made a strange reference to Israel. Yechury, the general secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist) said, “The use of pellet guns is inhumane. Even Israel has banned its use against the Palestinians.” The remarks were made by Yechury in the Rajya Sabha, demanding an immediate ban on pellet guns which had left dozens of Kashmiri youths blind. Nearly two months later, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made another Israel-Palestine analogy at the United Nations General Assembly. While asserting that Kashmir and Palestine are facing foreign occupation, he added that Burhan Wani was a symbol of Kashmiri intifada. ‘Intifada’ is the only arabic word included in English dictionary in the 20th century, referring to the freedom movement of Palestine. Nearly three months after the Kashmir civilian unrest, much of whose angst is directed towards the Indian security forces, Prime Minister Narendra Modi likened his army to that of Israel. Here is why this analogy should had been avoided.
