Fight to Finish in Jammu & Kashmir

Situation in Jammu and Kashmir is taking a turn to the worst. While the death of a 20-year-old, Asif Mehraj Dar, has put Srinagar back on the boil, people continue to be on the agitation in Jammu. The number of persons killed by the police in Jammu has swelled to over 50.

It seems, the continued oppression of the Hindus over last several decades at the hands of the Muslims in the valley, has fuelled the fires in Jammu. The Shrine Land case is only an excuse to vent out their pent up feelings. They are in a do-or-die mood. And is rightly so. The records of Congress governments have never been favourable to the Hindus. Nor the BJP has done any better. So, let the people themselves settle the issue of honour and justice this time for ever.

In most of the states in India, Muslims have been given many facilities in the name of Haj pilgrimages and the like. Nowhere, Hindus have found it fit to oppose such concessions. But the Muslims in the Valley will not tolerate a "temporary" allotment of some land to facilitate Amarnath pilgrimage. And the government there would readily oblige the Muslims only.

Keep reading this post. It will continue to bring you updated and authenticated information on the issue.
