1,000 saints volunteer help in Kashmir to boost morale, take on stone-pelters

[manlion]

Jan Sena founder Balyogi Arun Puri Chaitanay Maharaj said they will ask Army officers to keep them in the front row, so that jawans’ lives are spared.

A squad of 1,000 saints from the Jan Sena, a Kanpur-based religious organisation, will leave for Jammu and Kashmir on May 7 to help Army jawans and paramilitary forces take on stone-pelters in the strife-torn state.

Ya your "peaceful" stone pelters will pelt stones at these saints. Then who knows what will happen. Interesting times ahead

Imagine the optics. Friday afternoon. Imam has given the call "Pelt the Stones" A hoarde of young men with nothing better to do comes out on the streets with stones in their hands. And they see a group of Saffron robed sadhus and sants. Now what do they do

If they dont pelt stones there is peace and quiet which is what we want

If they pelt stones imagine the headlines "Muslim Stone Pelters attack unarmed Hindu Saints"

It is a loose loose proposition

I think the time to take a decisive step has come. It is now or never.

Good to see these people volunteering.

Maybe a calm saint and monks can achieve what hate speeches and violence couldn't in that state.

Why?

So now they cannot go to the ancient land of sages?

They are looking to calm the situation.

If the situational dialog doesn't resolve it, we always have APCs and troops with shoot-at-sight orders.

Condemning something wrong maybe discouraged in your society but here it is not.

What's wrong is to be condemned and dealt with. First it starts with words and if it cannot be resolved, then through action.

How is a safforn robed monk standing in front of a horde of stone pelters a terrorist

The ditrict authorities should actually give them permission.

I would love to see how the mob reacts. Anything they do helps India. If they dont pelt its peace and quiet. If they pelt the optics go against them. And in todays world the optics of the sitation is all that matters

A line of 10 saints calmly walking towards the stone pelters preaching the message of peace.

Behind them national TV cameras capturing the moment

You did not answer my question. You are repeating a 70 year old rhetoric

Just tell how does an unarmed saffron robed monk standing in front of a mob of stone pelters become a terrorist?
