Amidst the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, former student leader Shehla Rashid has expressed gratitude towards the Indian government and security forces, acknowledging the relative fortune of Indians in terms of peace and security.
She specifically commended the Indian Army, security forces, and key government figures for their efforts in maintaining a sense of safety and stability in the Kashmir region.
She underscored the vital relationship between peace and security, drawing parallels to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.
Rashid, formerly a prominent critic of the Narendra Modi government, has notably shifted her stance to voice support for the government, particularly in the context of its governance in Kashmir.
She highlighted the perceived improvement in the human rights record in the region under the current administration and credited the government's firm position for potentially saving lives.
This shift in perspective represents a departure from her earlier positions and has attracted attention due to her history of vocal dissent.
