70 People have been killed in bloody clashes between police and anti- India protesters since June,2010.The mob also destroyed muncipal buildings, tourist facilitiesand a hut owned by the Fisheries Department.
Chief secretary S.S Kapur appealed to people to maintain calmand announced a ban on the relevision station that carried images of the desecration of the koran. United states Ambassador Timothy Roemer, condemning the desecration of the Koran.
The Kashmir situation is going from bad to worse not because, but in spite, of the Armed Forces special powers Act being in force. A total or partial with drawal of the Act from the state is solution. 70 peoplle have already lost their lives since June.
15 people were killed inKashmir on Monday 13th September,2010,with a new wave of violence triggered by the descration of the Holy Koran in New york. The people of Kashmir are being misled by fundamentalists. India has nothing to do with the descration of the koran in the U.S. Why should there be protests in Kashmir? The new wave of violence is unfortunate and condemnable. The Kashmiri yoth should realise that agitations will endanger their future.
It is unfortunate that the centre and the Kashmir government are unable to restore normalcy in the state.It is clear that the disturbancs are handiwork of anti-Indiaelements. Unless the government put them down with an iron hand,the peace process will not yield results.
Kashmir has always been India’s biggest challenge. The violence in Kashmir is getting uglier by the day. The Kashmiri youth are being misguided by separatists to achive their vested intersts. The people should be convinced that only a peaceful dialogue can address. Violent protests have no place in democracy.
