It has been 13 days and the terrorists who murdered innocent people in Baisaran Pahalgam are still hiding in some hell-hole and people in Jammu and Kashmir and rest of the country are watching the situation with deep pain and anger. No power on earth can bring back the precious lives that were taken by group of barbarians on 22 of April but if the killer and their masters are brought to book, that will give some solace to the families of the victims who have lost their dear ones and also to the entire populace of Kashmir, who helplessly, witnessed the very soul of their identity and culture being murdered.
NIA has taken up the investigations and people are hopeful that the perpetrators would not go scot-free and the bigger conspiracy to destabilize Kashmir again and to push the region into the ugly nexus of violence would be exposed and people behind this conspiracy would be named and shamed. Like the people of entire country, Kashmiris too are united against these terrorists and the terrorism. Unfortunately, some over-enthusiastic and ignorant elements are trying to follow, God knows whose agenda, by spreading hateful propaganda against Kashmiris. Kashmiris are aghast, Kashmiris are angry, Kashmiris are hurting. Let the entire nation do understand and appreciate this.

Those who look at this tragic incident through the prism of economy alone are missing the broader angel. Kashmiri populace expressed its pain and anger against the attack not only because the incident may decrease the flow of terrorists to this region and thus impact the economy. No, not at all. They are protesting because their very identity has been targeted. As earlier mentioned in these columns, it was an attack on Kashmir’s culture because from ages tourists have been the part of Kashmir’s culture. It was an attack on Kashmir’s ethos of hospitality.
Therefore, those who are trying to advocate a collective punishment of Kashmiris and also trying to incite hatred against a particular religious group are doing no good to the country instead are strengthening the agenda of the terrorists and taking it further. These elements should know that India is one of the largest democracies of the world headed by an able government and the government knows how to deal with nation’s enemies and will do so at appropriate time. Wars are not fought in TV studious or on You Tube channels. The unprofessional and TRP hungry dancing in front of cameras are doing no good. They are trying to create chaos while as governments are there to maintain order. People of the country should say a strong no to the terrorists and also these hate-mongers within. Both are equally dangerous.
