THE KILLING SPREE CONTINUES…..

Dear all I wrote this yesteday but was unable to post it due to bad connectivity.

As I sit at home wondering how much more blood will be shed today, all Kashmir in a state of mourning and protest except of course the government and the killers read security forces. The head of the state gave a Press Conference last evening. As I gaped at the shameless man my mom was aghast. He asked people to stay indoors or else…. The police have to maintain curfew anyhow. “Is this an appeal or a threat” my mom shouted. I replied that it was a simple pure and plain threat. Stay at home or else you will be killed most probably for no fault of yours. It doesn’t matter if you have come out to get milk for your months old baby, it doesn’t matter if you are out there to get medicine for the ill.

And you can’t think of protesting against the killings of innocents even peacefully. You will receive a bullet.

That is what the three teenagers got to know yesterday. They were dragged out of their homes, assembled in a compound and shot to death. 3 died, 1 is critical and many more are injured. All of them received bullets in head, chest, and necks. Meaning it was shooting to kill. Read more about it.

6 people have been killed in the last three days and 11 in less than three weeks during demonstrations against the killing of Kashmiris by Indian forces which began with the death of a schoolboy on June 11.

Another little boy of 13 was cortically injured by security forces without any provocation when he was at a tea stall where he worked.

Read the story of the guy who was killed a day before these killings. He came out to search for his mentally unfit brother and was killed at a stone’s throw from his house.

Kashmir, where no household has been left untouched by conflict or human rights violations over the two decades, how does one expect the people to behave in such circumstances? It is normal to come out in protest, even after knowing well that the government will push the responsibility on us.

Who is the Indian security force protecting on the street? It isn’t the people of Kashmir. So why is this foreigner roaming the streets of my land. He is trying to protect himself but why on our land where he is unwanted and unwelcomed. He is here to kill the people and to keep a hold on the land. It’s about occupation.

Their brutality is such that they have not even spared the ambulances carrying the dead. They fired after searching and frisking the staff. Read more

While the restriction on news transmissions of various local TV channels entered third day on Tuesday, New Delhi has asked all private and government telecom operators to block Short Messaging Service (SMS) services in Kashmir valley from June 29.

Tina had told me that she doesn’t know much about the Kashmir and I could tell same about others from the comments. For Tina and all those who want to know about Kashmir. This the link to a Time article dated: Feb. 04, 1957

There was curfew or restictions in most parts of Kashmir. Plenty who were caught on streets, young old,without asking the resaon for coming out were beaten to pulp.

As the whole international community is maintaining criminal silence I wonder if my readers/friends at Pulsewire will be fatigued to read about the violence daily.
