The entire
Jammu region should be handed over to the care of the defense forces otherwise
post-banishment of Hindus from Kashmir, the present attacks in Kishtwar will
have far-reaching reactions.

The ambush and carnage of five Bharatiya soldiers by terrorists by infiltrating
into the Bharatiya territory is a well-thought out strategic statement by them
under orders from their handlers against the minorities and they have made it
more clear by engineering wide-spread violence in the Kishtwar district of
Jammu-Kashmir. The violence has not stopped since morning till evening and the
naked dance of aggression is going on unabated.
As per the feedbacks received from the office of Jammu-Kashmir Vishva Hindu
Parishad, heavy attacks have been mounted on about 100 houses and 150 shops
have been looted and burnt down. The Jehadis have calculatingly been allowed a
free run. Especially all these have happened in the presence of the Home
Minister of Jammu-Kashmir Mr. Sajjad Ahmad Kichloo which is why no action
whatsoever was taken by the police there, instead the administration was seen
to be on the same page as the extremists. No arrests have also taken place till
this time. The administration is instead threatening the minority Hindus to
keep mum and tolerate everything otherwise they would be compelled to vacate
Kishtwar.

It needs special mention that after the killing of the soldiers the audacity of
the attackers has increased. Targetting the Baba Amarnath Yatra attacks were
mounted on the BSF camp at Ramban. Likewise targeting Baba Budha Amarnath Yatra
attacks have been mounted on Poonch. Every year lakhs of Hindu pilgrims
undertake arduous treks for the Baba Amarnath Yatra.
We have seen in Kashmir Valley that the same pattern of attacks was mounted on
the Hindu minority whereby thousands of them were killed and the survivors were
forced to leave their hearths and homes to migrate elsewhere. Whatever is
taking place in Jammu-Kashmir is because of the impotent central government
which has for ever and a day been surrendering to the dictates of terrorists.
The central government must take immediate steps to protect the Hindus of
Kashmir and the entire Jammu region should be handed over to the care of the
defense forces otherwise post-banishment of Hindus from Kashmir, these attacks
in Kishtwar will have far-reaching reactions.
