Terrorist, Politicians, Pakistan trying to irk anger in Kashmir, while India tries to normalise life
While the government of India is trying to
normalise life in Kashmir and has opened post-paid connecting lines and
landlines for locals along with ensuring safety in the state, the movement from
terrorist agencies is continuing to irk anger among citizens in various
informal talks and seminars. This was shared by some Kashmiri businesspersons
in Indore for their business this week. The businesspersons requested anonymity
to avoid being targeted by the agencies.
We spoke to them commemorating October 20,
which has come to acquire a special significance for every Indian. It was on
this date two years ago that our northern neighbour, whom we had treated as a
friend, launched an attack on our borders. During the weeks that followed this
fateful day, the world witnessed a most heart-warming demonstration of the
basic unity and solidarity of the Indian people.
The observance of National Solidarity Day
is an annual reminder of this fundamental unity. On this day, the thoughts of
the whole nation turn to our Armed Forces who gallantly guard our extensive
borders and who have, throughout history, been famous for their courage and
stamina.
“The scenario in Kashmir is difficult
because Kashmiri politicians including Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah, Mehbooba
Mufti and others have suddenly lost their empire and it is natural for them to
be angry,” Jumal Khan (name changed) said. He lives in Downtown, Srinagar and
quoted how the fear is still catching up with Kashmiris.
“Civilians are not angry, but yes,
terrorist agencies, politicians and of course, Pakistani forced are angry,
scared and up for action,” Khan said. Rumours about do or die situation are
being floated frequently among civilians to scare them of possible situation.
“People open their shops in all parts of
Kashmir for 3 hours in morning from 6 am to 9 am because of this fear,” said
Hunaid Farooq (name changed). He explained that business and normal scenario is
a wish for every civilian, but the fear seems endless.
“If we are able to have a stable Kashmir
like the rest of states in India, then there is no doubt that life would be
much better, because we would have more employment opportunities, safety and
development, but hopefully, it will not hurt the natural beauty of the state
and industries would be controlled here,” Farooq said.
Sharing the ways in which terrorist and separatist
are trying to create a negative environment, Asif Ahmad (name changed) said, “We
are being hammered by quoting that Kashmir’s special status was taken away and
we should be fighting it.” Though many are refraining from such discussions,
many youngsters are often charmed by the passion and mind-washing techniques of
terrorists.
“The problem is that there are too many,
Pakistan is afraid that India can take over their occupied Kashmir and maybe
even Pakistan, so they are fighting it, politicians are of course angry so
using their power, terrorists are also fighting it, because abolition of
article 370 also means more security in Kashmir and fewer chances of conflicts,”
Ahmad Kurshid Khan (name changed) said.
