Former Student Leader Shehla Rashid Acknowledges Efforts of Indian Army and Government in Ensuring Peace in Kashmir

Shehla Rashid, a former student leader and a known critic of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, recently expressed her appreciation for the Indian Army, PM Modi, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Her change in stance was brought about by her reflections on the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, which entered its eighth day, causing a significant humanitarian crisis as hundreds of thousands of Gazans fled following Israel’s evacuation orders.

In her tweet, Shehla Rashid highlighted the stark contrast between the situation in the Middle East and India. She emphasized how fortunate Indians are to have the Indian Army and security forces working tirelessly to safeguard their safety and maintain peace. Her tweet specifically mentioned Prime Minister Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Manoj Sinha, the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army (Indian Army @ChinarcorpsIA), and other relevant authorities.

Rashid’s tweet read, “Looking at the events in the Middle East, today I realize how lucky we are as Indians. The Indian Army and security forces have sacrificed their everything for our safety. Credit where it’s due @pmoindia @HMOIndia @manojsinha_ @adgpi @ChinarcorpsIA for bringing peace to Kashmir.”

She further emphasized the inseparable link between peace and security, as evidenced by the crisis in the Middle East. Rashid acknowledged the significant sacrifices made by the Indian Army, the Central Reserve Police Force (@crpfindia), and the brave personnel of the Jammu and Kashmir Police (@JmuKmrPolice) to ensure long-term peace and security in Kashmir.

This notable shift in Shehla Rashid’s perspective highlights the gravity of the situation in the Middle East and its impact on individuals worldwide. The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict has undoubtedly caused widespread concern, prompting even those with differing views to acknowledge the importance of peace and security efforts carried out by nations’ armed forces and government authorities. The tweet by Shehla Rashid serves as a reminder of the critical role that peacekeeping and security forces play in preserving stability and safeguarding lives.
