Kashmir

The headline in the Hindu (Page No 12, 22.8.16) that, “1,3 million pellets fired in a month’ causes mental disturbance and concern about the uncontrolled situation in Kashmir . Whether it is security forces or civilians  , loss of lives is a loss not only to the concerned families but also to the nation . We celebrated 70^th Independence day recently. Only now ,we are going “to invite foreign vendors to demonstrate various kinds of crowd control methods and then will select a suitable method?  The committee appointed for this purpose will take two months to submit it’s report?” We really do not understand the inability of the central and state government to find a solution to the continued violence in Kashmir . The central government  Minister’s statements should not send a message to the Kashmiris that, the government  is more concerned about the safety of the security forces than of the civilians . The government also should stop  branding any one who speaks about  human rights violations  and  loss of lives in Kashmir as anti nationals .
