After phone, Internet, gag, government orders closure of Kashmir based news channels, that give information to people regarding the current and day’s situation in the Kashmir valley. Moreover, slow broadband irks BSNL, subscribers. Another sweet bullet shot on the media. Slowly and steadily government is enforcing it’s draconian laws on every machinery working to articulate and disseminate any iota of news to the public. Whatever, goes in the valley, whether from government or from separatists is inexpressive. Jungle law is busy spreading it’s Web in every nook and corner of the state. Democracy is confronted by discordant laws and that have forced the minds of the people to think, are we living in the country having world’s largest democracy.
On one end, interlocutors are made to visit Kashmir for healing touch, on the other hand people are made to suffer more and more, by burying the democracy in the depth of the earth.
The canopy of dust of unrest that has not settled yet, people are high in anger as they face the worst form of virulence from the state and all the painstaking efforts seem to be washed out.
Pampering people cannot clean the junk, incognito government is playing toys with the emotions of people. The U turn made today by NC government by sit on protest in front of Secretariat, shedding crocodile tears with gloomy faces, is an another prick made in political scenario.
This time nobody rules nobody, even Geelani’s son was not spared by the mob, when he was returning home, it may be said police is not obeying government and youths are not obeying separatists, both sides seem feckless, castigate situation has burnt the economy of Kashmir. Economical loss pushing Kashmir to gradual extinction, as per sources, local firms have moved temporarily outside Kashmir, when asked they said, surviving without Internet for IT industry even for a day is an impossible task. They said we have to take this extreme step or else we will lose out on important clients.
Every 2nd hour, we witness, lethal pellets rupture an eye in Kashmir, after analyzing, 664 victims with injuries in one or both eyes, 580 victims with injuries received at SMHS hospital, 84 persons with injures to eyes treated at SKIMS hospital, 12 average eye injuries per day, 29 persons with both eyes badly injured and 10-15 persons with one eye completely ruptured.
Government vilifies, the ongoing movement and situation, instead of doing this, better was to make an cognitive atmosphere to calm down the roar of people. Daily reprimanding and reproach of politicians is considered to be the mockery behavior.
Reprisal against one another down pours the same, as we know every action has equal and opposite reaction. Cahoots are everywhere to be seen, in this complex situation, what is kept for us in future cannot be said, because everyone says Kashmiris cannot be trusted. Their character is assassinated, as they don’t need a character certificate from a colonizer and his army.
Kashmiris are sandwiched, between those who want to takeover this land and not people, if they really wanted people, their love, compassion, they would have used minimum restrain, avoiding killings, and worked for healing touch. As a common man of Kashmir, we denounce the ideology of so called rulers and all other parties, that are bent over to incur harm to the people of Kashmir. People who are the real owners of the land, strongly reprehend all that is told against Kashmir. Till now people are reposing since 1947 but everybody has deceived them, even their own people.
