Former cricketer turned politician Gautam Gambhir on Monday said that if the oppression of Kashmiris means the security of his people then he would not mind it.

The BJP leader was responding to the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti’s tweet in which she had criticized newly elected home minister, Amit Shah.

Taking to her twitter handle Mufti had said, “Since 1947, Kashmir’s been looked through the prism of security by successive governments. It’s a political problem that needs a political redressal by involving all stakeholders inc Pak.Expecting a quick fix through brute force by newly appointed HM is ridiculously naive.”

To which the Member of parliament responded by saying,’While all for a talk-based solution to Kashmir problem but for @mehboobamufti to term Shri @AmitShah’s process as “brute” is “ridiculously naive”. History has been witness to our patience and endurance. But if oppression ensures security for my people, then so be it.’ Gambhir tweeted.
