Dear Pakistani,
Our humble request to all of you is that please urge your Political parties, Govt. & Non Govt. establishment and state & Non state Actors or whosoever acting as Savior of Kashmiris or Indian Muslims to please stop all Anti-India activities under the disguise for Islamic Brotherhood. You have run enough of your Muslim propaganda in India.
Stop shedding Croc Tears for Indian citizen (Whether they are Muslims or kashmiris) as it's an insult of tears when it is shed by your Evil Eyes!!!

Curfew widened in Kashmir after civilian deaths

SRINAGAR, Tuesday 29 June 2010 (AFP) - Authorities in Indian-ruled Kashmir placed more towns under curfew on Tuesday as protests over the killing of eight residents spread through the insurgency-hit region.

Eight Kashmiri civilians have been killed in incidents involving Indian security forces in less than three weeks, with paramilitary troops struggling to contain violent protests against rule from New Delhi.

Sopore town, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) north of Kashmiri summer capital Srinagar, has been under curfew since Friday after two young men died when soldiers opened fire as protesters attacked their vehicle.

On Sunday and Monday three more protesters were killed -- including a nine-year-old boy -- in Sopore and the neighbouring town of Baramulla as troops tried to quell angry demonstrations.

"We have imposed a curfew in Baramulla town and in some parts of Srinagar," a police spokesman who declined to be named told AFP.

Separatist leaders urged people to observe a general strike for two days from Tuesday to denounce the killings. The strike closed shops, businesses and schools in Srinagar and other towns in Muslim-majority Kashmir valley.

The valley has seen a spike in protests since June 11, when a 17-year-old student died after being hit by a teargas shell fired by police during a demonstration in Srinagar.

Tufail Matoo was not part of the protest and was carrying his school bag when he was hit, his family said.

Violence has risen in recent months in mainly Muslim Indian Kashmir, where two decades of rebellion against Indian rule have left thousands of people dead.

Fighting claimed the lives of three Indian soldiers and five suspected militants after a gunbattle along the Line of Control (LOC) border that splits Kashmir between India and Pakistan, the military said Tuesday.

"The fighting erupted late Monday when a group of militants tried to sneak into (Indian) Kashmir from across the LOC," army spokesman Vineet Sood told AFP.

Pakistan denies Indian allegations that it arms and funds rebels who have waged a deadly insurgency in Kashmir that has killed at least 47,000 people since 1989.

The situation in Jammu and Kashmir's Sopore town continues to be tense for the fourth day on Tuesday.

Curfew has been imposed in Sopore while movement of civilians has been severely restricted in many parts of Srinagar.

Additional security forces have been sent to Sopore, Baramulla and downtown Srinagar Hurriyat Conference (M) Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has given a call for civil disobedience, urging people to come out on streets to protest against the alleged firing and killing of civilians by the CRPF in which eight civilians have been killed in the three weeks.

Meanwhile, several top separatist leaders including JKLF chairman Mohammad Yaseen Malik, National Front Chairman Nayeem Ahmad Khan and Muslim Khawateen Markaz Chief Yasmeen Raja were detained by police.

The state government appointed Mohammed Shafi Khan as Special Commissioner for Sopore and Pankaj Saxena as Special Inspector General to defuse the tense situation.

On Monday, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had asked Union Home Minister P Chidambaram to help end violence in the state.

Expressing concern over civilians becoming victims of police action in the Kashmir Valley, Abdullah invited Chidambaram to visit the state.

Both Chidambaram and Abdullah agreed on the need to bring an immediate end to the cycle of violence.

Kashmir has recently seen a spurt of violence, as a result of which paramilitary forces have been compelled to use force against people partaking in anti-State activities. (ANI)

Srinagar: Mobile services have been suspended in north Kashmir and SMS services have been blocked in the entire Valley, with the situation remaining tense on Tuesday morning. Sources said this has been done to stop rumour mongering in an already incendiary situation.

In Sopore, the town worst hit by violent protests over civilian deaths allegedly in the use of force by CRPF against agitators, there is indefinite curfew since Friday and it would continue to be in place, sources say. Restrictions under Section 144, which prohibits assembly of more than four persons, are in place in and around Srinagar and Baramulla. Additional companies of the CRPF have been deployed in Sopore.

The tension in the north and central parts of the valley has spread to south Kashmir where curfew like restrictions have been imposed in Anantnag after one person was injured in firing by security forces.

Crowds assembled at Mattan bus stand in Anantnag on Tuesday morning to protest the killing of five youths in Sopore and Baramulla, in alleged firing by CRPF.

Police and paramilitary forces deployed in the town asked them to disperse but when they refused to budge, they fired tear gas shells and batons to disperse them. Protestors then pelted stones at security forces and in the ensuing clashes, one person was injured.

The J&K government has asked the Centre for help and said last evening that the Army could be called in if the situation was not brought under control soon. But there has been no Army deployment for riot or crowd control. Sources said the Army and Rashtriya Rifles would continue mobile patrolling for counter-insurgency as usual in Sopore, Baramulla and the surrounding areas.

Sources have told NDTV that the aim is to bring the situation under control today with the help of additional security forces.

On boil again...and will cool down soon.......with a fizzle
It's a good thing dude. After a long time under the purview of tough security forces, as we wind down our operation, it's good for the people to let off lots of (suppressed) steam. They'll feel more in control of their lives and feel conident that genuine grievances will be addressed. That's a long term antidote to all the bitterness that has come because of our toughness.

Pak asks world to take notice of HR violations in Kashmir

Pakistan has criticised India for the continued protests being staged by local residents in the Kashmir valley which has resulted in violent clashes between security forces and protestors.

At least eight people have died in the last two-weeks in violent clashes with the security forces.

Foreign Office spokesperson Abdul Basit said that Pakistan is concerned over the gross violation of human rights by the Indian security forces in the Kashmir valley.

"We are concerned at the human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir," The Daily Times quoted Basit, as saying.

Basit also urged the international community to take notice of the issue.

On Monday, two more youths were killed in separate incidents in Baramulla and Sopore Districts.

Both persons were killed as security forces opened fire to disperse an angry mob, which pelted stones on a police party.

Sopore continues to remain tense for the fourth day after the administration imposed a curfew on Friday following the death of two youths in police firing.

Meanwhile, Hurriyat Conference leader Syed Ali Geelani has called for a shutdown in the valley till Wednesday.

The authorities have imposed undeclared curfew in old city of Srinagar fearing protests from separatists. (ANI)

First of all, Soldiers have everything to Loose, militants have nothing to loose, For them everyone is a target, for the Army its not so, They have to Be clear who they target.... So when you are fighting Not only for You but also for others such instance do happen... You cannot blindly fire like the Militants...


Ya I understand this fact buddy. But, it kind'a hurts when you listen to the fact that some foreign intruders with guns come into your land and kill some highly-trained soldiers who were trained over-time to handle such menace.

But you are true about the fact that the soldiers cannot just hit anyone especially seeing the violence and riots that have started there due to such casualty of civilians.
The worst fact here is that if a terrorist kills a person, then the people blame the police or the military. But even if a soldier dies killing a militant, then also they would support the militant. And if by mistake, a local civilian loses his life to the police or army firing in the gun battles, then the people just start rioting and all kinds of nonsense. So, at the end of the day, its really a very tough job for the armed force and the local police, which they have to execute, swiftly and cautiously everyday, risking their lives for the people who curse them.
