BJP cautions writers against speaking in favour of separatists

New Delhi, Aug 26: BJP on Tuesday cautioned "eminent journalists and writers" against speaking in favour of "separatist forces", suggesting that the freedom of writing and speech cannot be at the cost of the country's sovereignty.

"The party would like to caution the so-called eminent journalists and writers who are going out of their way to endorse the separatist idea of an independent Kashmir. The party feels that the freedom of writing and speech cannot be at the cost of the integrity and sovereignty of the country," party spokesperson Ravi Shanker Prasad told reporters here today.

Freedom of a citizen cannot be misused to challenge the very national identity because of which we exist as a democratic country, he added.

Booker prize winning author Arundhati Roy had come under attack from the Congress as also the BJP over her controversial statement on Kashmir with the ruling party dubbing her a "loose cannon" and the main opposition saying that her remarks were "nothing short of sedition".

Roy had said in Srinagar recently that the people of Kashmir have made themselves abundantly clear that they want complete freedom and the government should pay heed to their demand.
