Kashmir is still burning and yet a major step has been taken that may lead to problems for the minority Hindu families in Dayalgham, Anantnag.  Vinod Pandit, the head of APMCC (All Parties Migrants Coordination Committee)  has said that in Dayalgham the police picket has been removed leaving the minority community vulnerable. The picket has been around since 1986 and hence its removal has raised eyebrows.

Kashmiri minorities are feeling vulnerable.

Lukbhavan in Dooru, Anantnag is a major Hindu Temple and the APMCC leader feels that this picket removal could create problems for the minority Hindus residing in the area.

Kashmir should not see a rerun of Nutnusa, Kupwara

Although he did not say it but yet one should not forget that the minorities have been at a receiving end for long. Even before the elimination of Burhan Wani, Kashmir was burning due to NIT Srinagar protests that made international headlines for the rape threat that the locals gave to the girl students.

The future of the Kashmiri minorities is uncertain in the state.

After Burhan Wani’s elimination, Kashmir has seen several bloody protests leaving Hindus, Sikhs and other minority communities vulnerable. SGPC was even forced to ask Home Minister Rajnath Singh to step in to ensure the safety of the Sikhs as they were being forced by the separatists to chant anti-India slogans and take part in anti-India rallies.

But the worst happened in the Nutnusa, Kupwara where a 1500-1600 strong local mob attacked the migrant camp where hapless Kashmiri Pandit community still lives. The mob did damage to the structures and tried to assault the people living there so as to force them to flee Kashmir.

Kashmiri minorities want to go back and live peacefully. But those who turned on them due to their religion would hardly welcome them back. Indian government must put an end to militancy and jihadist tendencies.

Meanwhile, Zakir Rashid Bhat, a close aide of terrorist Burhan Wani, has posted a video message asking Kashmiri Pandits to return and hilariously claiming that those who did not leave Kashmir faced no problem at all!

In the video he said:

Our Kashmiri Pandit brothers should return to their homes. We take responsibility of their safety. They should look at those Pandits who never left Kashmir and have not faced any problems here at all.
