Terror attack on Kashmiri Pandit cousins triggers outrage, Muslims decry murder, stage protest against terrorists #IndiaNEWS #India
Srinagar: Gruesome terror attack on two Kashmiri Pandit brothers Sunil Kumar Bhat and his cousin Pertimber Nath at Chotigam, a small hamlet in South Kashmirs Shopian district, triggered outrage in their village. Sunil succumbed to his injuries while Pertimber Nath (Pintu) suffered injuries.
Both Sunil and Pintu were farmers. They were fired upon by terrorists when they were busy with their work at their orchard. Sunils family was among three Kashmir Pandit families which didnt leave the Valley in 1990, when Pakistan sponsored terrorism gripped Kashmir.
Terrorists carrying out target killing of Sunil Kumar Bhat pushed the Chotigam village into mourning with Muslim villagers coming out and raising slogans against the terrorists. They participated in the last rites of Sunil and bid him a tearful adieu sending a clear message to the terrorists and their sponsors that they cannot repeat 1990, when the Kashmiri Pandits were killed at the behest of Pakistan, and the members of the majority community acted as mute spectators due to the fear of guns turning towards them. Today that fear has vanished and they stand firmly with their Kashmiri Pandit brethren.
Condemnation
Attack evoked widespread condemnation from every section of the society. J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha while deploring the cowardly act tweeted: Pained beyond words on despicable terror attack on civilians in Shopian. My thoughts are with the family of Sunil Kumar. Praying for speedy recovery of injured. The attack deserves strongest condemnation from everyone. Terrorists responsible for barbaric act will not be spared.
I condemn the militant attack in Shopian unequivocally in which Sunil Kumar was killed & Pinto Kumar injured. My condolences to the family, Omar Abdullah, the former J&K chief minister wrote on twitter.
Yet another dastardly attack by coward terrorists in Shopian. We strongly condemn this heinous act of violence. My condolences to the family, chairman of Peoples Conference and former minister Sajad Lone tweeted.
Mehbooba plays politics again
However, Peoples Democratic Party president and former J&K chief minister, Mehbooba Mufti, who has donned the mantle of separatists, instead of blaming Pakistan for the act, tactfully blamed New Delhi, in a tweet she said, Terribly sorry to hear about the targeted killing in Shopian. Condolences to the deceaseds family. GOI continues to behave like an ostrich with its head buried deep under the sand. Every resident of J&K has become cannon fodder in Delhis quest for manufactured normalcy.
Mehbooba should learn a lesson from the residents of Chotigam village who without any fear took to the streets and denounced Sunils killing by raising slogans like Qatal Na Haq, Na Manzoor (killings of innocents unacceptable).
