Srinagar, Sept 5: Politics in Kashmir is “as filthy as Dal lake” and corruption cuts across party lines, according to leaked US diplomatic cables from India released by Wikileaks.
David Mulford in a cable to Washington in 2006 when he was the US ambassador to India also alleged that corruption in Jammu and Kashmir was widespread and prevalent not only among mainstream politicians but separatists as well.
“Corruption cuts across party lines and most Kashmiris take it as an article of faith that politically-connected Kashmiris take money from both India and Pakistan,” Mulford said in the cable which was released by Wikileaks last week.
