Many countries have banned police from using ammunition meant for hunting animals. The multi directional spray of pellets was designed to catch prey in flight. But many countries have continued to use them as a means of force to control civilian demonstrators. Kashmir conflict. India claims the entire erstwhile princely state of Jammu and Kashmir based on an instrument of accession signed in 1947. Pakistan claims Jammu and Kashmir based on its majority Muslim population, whereas China claims the Shaksam Valley and Aksai Chin. Everyone in our society needs to think, right from those on high chairs to those on high pulpits. I mean everyone. None of us can claim a higher moral ground. Your policies, actions, covert and overt agendas and criminal silence has brought the land to this situation. You have no one to blame but you.The Collaborator of one killed the collaborator of other. End result, a kashmiri man lost his life , a kashmiri woman became a widow and has now to take up dual role of mother and father , a kashmiri boy and girl became orphan and their dreams will get shattered and their studies disrupted, many kashmiri parents have to give shoulder to their son’s coffin and will wail over his grave. They have lost the support of their old age and now have to bear the burden of being guardians of their grandchildren. This happened just because one person through the other to be a collaborator.
Those who demand Aazaadi should understand people need like food, shelter, education and liberty to live as human race.

The Collaborator of one killed the collaborator of other. End result, a kashmiri man lost his life , a kashmiri woman became a widow and has now to take up dual role of mother and father , a kashmiri boy and girl became orphan and their dreams will get shattered and their studies disrupted, many kashmiri parents have to give shoulder to their son’s coffin and will wail over his grave.

People should understand whether it is a security personnel or any civilian that they should protect each other not to fight each other because the fighting with each other will give hazardous result as we seen since long. Is it so difficult to understand. And those who demand Aazaadi should understand people need like food, shelter, education and liberty to live as human race. But there are some miscreants in the valley who are causing the trouble in kashmir should be identified and be severely punished I don’t know that what kind of Aazaadi the people of kashmir want do u want to Syria type or Palestine type Aazaadi. God forbid, if this is the result of their restraint it’s going to be very difficult. For how long can this go on.
But the question is whether hartals do serve any purpose. And whether anyone outside the Valley even knows or is bothered about the hartal in Valley. Or whether it any longer spotlights the conflict in the state for the world. The answer to all these questions is in the negative. The truth is that hartals are now little more than a separatist political ritual often resorted to for their own sake. They are now so devoid of the meaning and the objective as to not even express the collective grief following killings of the people or for that matter the collective concern following a situation like the one currently facing the state. Instead hartals have become exercises in forgetfulness. People observe a day or two of hartal and emerge relieved of their distress over the killings or over an extraordinary situation like the one confronting the state in the form of a fear.
What do you do about such a reality? Taking righteous and moral positions serves nobody’s cause. Such positions only bolster one kind of politics against another and are inherently selective. Because the people who are outraged over one kind of atrocity adopt a studious silence over another. And the institution, agency or an individual who feign such outrages are hypocritical in their approach. For they look at the tragedies in purely political terms to be exploited in the service of one or another narrative.There is no option for India and Pakistan but to talk, whether sooner or later. But the talks can’t be a repeat of the drawn and pointless processes so far. The neighbours have to ensure that the factors that have invariably aborted the previous dialogues are taken on board and the engagement guarded against them. Unless that happens, no dialogue between the neighbours can succeed.
Now our government should keep a meaningful dialogue on this law and order problem to vanish the long hostilities if not now then when our government have a problem that they are digging the well when house is on the fire. Where is UNO where is human rights watch bruised souls brutality beyond the limit. It is against the divine justice. How they dare to go against divine law. Our government should be ready for the worst. Earlier in1990 there was bitches now braid choppers nobody is paying the heed towards these innocents people who are suffering from these sprays even one woman has been died but still government is silent. We are living in the world of pieces rather than a peace.
