Then you clearly have no knowledge of Kashmirs history under Indian occupation. You seem to have forgotten the high turn out in prior elections.
Newslaundry – Kashmir
As I pointed out before, the voter trunout in past election have also been high (along with rigging). The turnout in 1987, JUST BEFORE the uprising started in 1989, was nearly 78 percent! So how does high voter turn out equate to acceptance of India when the insurgency started after high voter turn out?

Kashmiris generally have turned out to vote, but the mass rigging in 1987 resulted in low turnout which has only NOW risen to traditional levels.

@Arleitter

Wrong.It seems you lack knowledge about Kashmir and Kashmiris. The 2002 election had just 30%voter turn out and it was pretty much lower the 1996 election.

You have embarrassed yourself big time here. Med claimed in 87 the turnout was even higher. So this is not a record turnout. Med further stated clearly that since 87, voter turnout decreases. And has now recovered to 71 pct.

Med didn’t state turnout in 2002 was high or higher.

You have either serious comprehension issues. Or your are willfully ignoring the truth. There is a word for that.
