Overseas Friends of India, Ireland calls upon the Embassy of India, Dublin to cease all support to Ireland India Institute, a body set to highlight the achievements of "contemporary" India in which they have failed miserably and funded by Dublin City University over their very irresponsible post on Facebook dated 30th August asking followers, friends and members to take part in a candle vigil at the GPO against the Indian authorities.
We wish to highlight that in 2016 after the death of Burhan Wani, commander of Kashmiri militant and separatist group Hizbul Mujahideen who gained popularity via social media, it took 3 months to restore normalcy in the state leading to multiple casualties and innocent lives being lost, the curfew in state of Jammu & Kashmir was put in place to not allow history repeat itself.
The Supreme Court of India has informed the citizens that restrictions will be lifted in a phased manner and said that the situation should be allowed to return to normal on its own. We now must trust in our Government, highest court & the Constitution of India that peace and justice will prevail.
However, Ireland India Institute's statement in relation to not only organising a provocative event but putting India under a negative limelight cannot be accepted by the community.
We, the children of India do not appreciate Ireland India Institute as representatives of India and urge the Embassy to pull back all support.

The silence from the office remains heavy but I am still drafting formal requests to ensure they understand our position. It is draining to keep pushing against this wall of indifference yet I know we cannot let this provocation pass without a formal accounting.

If you are writing what is happening in Kashmir, also explain why is it happening. What all the states of India are paying taxes so that Kashmir can have everything is low rates and of people from Kashmir are allowed to study move to different parts in India why aren’t they accepting people. How can they be so selfish. Why are Kashmiri pandits not welcome. How come it affects Pakistan so much that they are talking so much about it. You are not giving it proper thought. Ending this temporary thing in Kashmir will help India to fight the terrorists. The youth of Kashmir don’t have any occupation they are bought at few hundreds to throw stones. State governments have not brought progress. Think and give the reason why the article should not be scrapped and then take sides.
As an Indian, this is treason being organized in Ireland against India by some politically motivated groups. Please check the sources of these institutions!
You can't be peddling one sided fake stories about India disputing the official government stand whilst receiving funding from the government. Yes freedom of expression is important but you cannot use official platforms to propogate your own personal agenda when it goes against INDIA's interests. Embassy is better off giving the money to a charity or someone doing positive work in either country.
This group and is associated university dcu need to take a clear stand so that future students of dcu are clear on what type of uni they are going to be associated with.
India institute have behaved despicably and dishonourably. I believe that strong action should be taken against the people who authored the post and management..So far as to deny and funding or support from the Indian Government or for that matter the irish authorities.. Jai Hind.
Stop all support to this institute.
Stop any fake and violent descriptions against Kashmir issues. It's internal matter and everyone has happily accepted it as a start of developed Kashmir.

The actions of the Institute is against the Interest of Indians. It is a disgrace and they should cease to operate under the current name. Should probably call themselves "Overseas Friends of Breaking India"
