Depopulate Kashmir Valley to curb protests: Swamy

New Delhi April 18 (IANS) BJP MP Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday suggested that the troubled Kashmir Valley should be de-populated and Kashmiris sent to refugee camps in Tamil Nadu to curb protests in the state.

Solution to (the) Kashmir Valley revolt is to depopulate as was done to Kashmir Valley Hindus. For a few years keep them in refugee camps in TN (Tamil Nadu) Swamy tweeted a day after university and college students across the valley clashed with security forces.
