By your absurd logic, the fact that dozens of pro-India politicians lost the same elections is evidence that Kashmiris are rejecting Indian rule.

Before i let Sajjad Lone do some plain talking ...... would like to make a point. He went into the elections with the platform that he is going to go to the parliament to carry the voice of "Kashmir" ...... is seems the people did not like the idea, so he lost .... a big difference between him and pro India politician ........ infact from the results it seems even his cousins did not vote for him
Now what does he say about the elections ....
Mirwaiz a glorified errand boy of India and Pak: Sajjad Lone
He pointed out that he had been very vociferous in calling for a boycott of the state Assembly polls in November-December but 75 per cent of people in Kupwara, which was his stronghold, had voted. This was a "defeat for me personally", he said
That would be a lot of "cousins" !!!!!!!
