There is no solution except the unification of the two countries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>90 per cent Indian were \u201cidiots\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>The former Indian judge said 90 per cent of Indians were \u201cidiots\u201d with hay in their brain. \u201cThey can be easily taken for a ride. When voting, they don&#8217;t see the merit of the candidate, but go by caste and related considerations\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven the educated people in India vote in elections on caste or sectarian lines, which showed how backward people are\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><em>Write your comments and thoughts below<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Faiz Ahmad \/ NationalTurk India \u00a0News<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n<h1><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan is not a legitimate country, said former Indian judge and  Press Council of India (PCI) chairman Markandey Katju.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":732,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,80,63,109,1,118,85,14],"tags":[40374,20815,40375,40371,21548,40376,2546,4067,40379,40372,77167,23595,40373,40369,40370,39811,40382,40381,40380,40377,40378],"class_list":["post-29732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asia","category-breaking-news","category-daily","category-dont-miss","category-general","category-hot","category-media-news","category-world","tag-britishers","tag-conflict","tag-encouraged","tag-former-indian-judge","tag-hindus","tag-idiots","tag-india","tag-kashmir","tag-kashmir-issue","tag-markandey-katju","tag-media","tag-muslims","tag-not-legitimate","tag-pci-chairman","tag-press-council-of-india","tag-recognise","tag-reporting","tag-seminar","tag-south-asia-media-commission","tag-two-nation-theory","tag-unification"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/732"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29732\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
