Kulgam Massacre. Today's brutality crossed all limits in Indian occupied Kashmir

.
As I said, this is the best you can say, ain't gonna change the fact that Jammu and Kashmir, was, is and will be an integral part of India.


Article 370 of the Indian constitution is an article that gives autonomous status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The article is drafted in Part XXI of the Constitution:

Either throw away the instrument of accession article 370 or throw away your falsehood of 'integral part' of India, Atoot ang of India rhetoric...this is making Indians looks fool, duplicitous, hypocrite and liars....they are like compulsive liars when they call it atoot ang knowing Kashmir is not part of India.

In Kashmir, the young are paying for India’s lack of vision

Fourteen-year-old Insha Malik lies unconscious in the surgical ICU of the Sri Maharaja Hari Singh (SMHS) hospital in Srinagar, her eyes pierced by pellets. The damage caused to her vision, according to a doctor attending her, is irreparable.

“Her right eye has been ruptured and her left eye is lacerated. She will be blind in both eyes for her entire life,” said the doctor.

Among the toppers in her school at Sedow village in Shopian district, the class 9 student is the latest pellet-victim admitted to the SMHS hospital where hundreds of civilians – mostly teenagers injured in action by security forces in the wake of July 8 killing of militant commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani – are recuperating.

According to Vakil Ahmad, her cousin, Insha was having dinner at home on Tuesday evening when the pellets fired outside by security forces personnel came inside the kitchen and hit the teenage student in her face.

With each passing hour the hospital receives fresh eye-injury cases, most of them from south Kashmir, the epicentre of renewed protests in the Valley after the killing of Burhan.

While the 70-bed ophthalmology ward of the hospital is full with the patients including teenagers and even minors, the administration had to manage space in the adjacent ward No. 3 and 4 (medicine wards) for treatment of eye-injury patients.

“We have already operated upon 102 patients with pellet injuries in one or both eyes,” said Dr S. Tariq Qureshi, head of the ophthalmology department at SMHS, adding that while 42 of these patients would regain “good vision” in their injured eye(s), the remaining cases would require multiple surgical interventions before “anything can be said about them.”

Termed a “non-lethal” weapon by the government, pellet guns were used by the police and CRPF for the first time in 2010 as a means of quelling protests.

The pellets, essentially tiny ball bearings, come in grades of 5 to 12 – 5 being the fastest and most damaging, said a police official, adding the preferred pellet grade in Kashmir was 6 and 8. The official said one cartridge contains 400-500 pellets.

“The pellets may not kill but they ruin life of a person. In many cases patients suffer from sympathetic ophthalmitis, a condition in which vision in the normal eye smears following the loss of eyesight in the injured eye,” a senior registrar at the ophthalmology department told the Wire.

In ward No 16-A, doctors feared that Umer Nazir, a 6th class student from Rajpora, Pulwama who was operated upon on Sunday for removal of pellets from his abdomen and intestines, would lose vision in both eyes.

Umer’s father Nazir Ahmad, a laborer said his son was on the roadside with his friends when he was hit by pellets fired by policemen on a group of protestors.

“Doctor, it is becoming shady in front of my left eye as well,” 12-year Umer told one of the doctors during his morning rounds to examine the admitted patients. Umer has suffered “severe retinal detachment” in his right eye with injury to the optic nerve as well.

The Numbers swell

Till Thursday, 123 patients with pellet injuries in one or both eyes, mostly in the age group of 15-30, were admitted to the hospital. The nature of the injury suffered by these patients varies from open to closed globe injuries, retinal and cornea detachment.

“We have never received so many cases in such a short span of time. It is the worst that I have ever seen,” said a surgeon.

As per official records, 60 patients with pellet injuries in one or both eyes were operated upon during the first two days of protests, i.e. Sunday and Monday – a record number of surgical procedures carried in a short span of time at the hospital.

Senior ophthalmologist Sajad Khanday said that apart from the cases at SMHS, there were around 28 pellet injury cases being treated at JVC hospital Bemina, on the outskirts of Srinagar.

“The SKIMS Institute (a tertiary care hospital) has also admitted eye injury cases. In total, the number of eye injury cases is more than 150,” said Dr Khanday.

He asserted that more than 75% of these patients would require retinal intervention. “Once a pellet pierces the eye, it damages its different components, resulting in loss of vision over the period of time,” he said.

Termed a “non-lethal” weapon by the government, pellet guns were used by the police and CRPF for the first time in 2010 as a means of quelling protest

Another senior doctor, who asked that he not be identified, said patients suffering from retinal detachment have “zero chances” of regaining vision. “And their number is more than 75. No matter which surgical procedure you follow, they aren’t going to regain their sight,” he asserted.

The news that his son, Muhammad Arif, a 12th standard student, may not be able to see with his right eye, left Hussain Muhammad shattered in ward No 8 this morning. Hussain, a resident of Baramulla district, cried aloud and hugged his son as he lay in bed.

Arif, however, was calm. “I am ready to lose both my eyes if we achieve azadi (freedom),” the 18-year-old student told this reporter.

Human rights activist Mannan Bukhari, who has documented pellet injuries in his 283-page book, Kashmir – Scars of Pellet Gun, said at least 10 people have been killed and more than 1500 seriously injured due to the use of pellets by the forces on the protestors since 2010.

“Today the number of the injured will be more than 1800,” said Bukhari.

‘War like situation’

A three-member team of eye specialists from AIIMS that was rushed to Srinagar on Thursday at the request of the state government to assist doctors at SMHS in treating patients with eye injuries said the situation was “intense and bad”.

“I haven’t seen such a number of eye injuries in recent years. In a war-like situation, you will get a lot of such injuries,” said AIIMS team leader Sudarshan K. Kumar after examining around 50 patients with injuries to their retina.

Commenting on the magnitude of the injuries, Dr Kumar said the eye injury patients would regain “20% or 40% of vision”.

“At least 70-80% of these patients will regain ‘some vision’ but they won’t have a normal vision… The pellets have done damage to their eyes,” he doctor, adding that he supported the idea of “avoiding” the use of pellet guns.

The team was sent by the Union health ministry on the request of chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, whose government is facing severe criticism for the use of “excessive force” by security personnel.

So far, 38 civilians including a teenager, have been killed and over 1600 injured in the past six days. One policeman died in mob violence and several security forces personnel have been injured, including some with the shrapnel of grenades that they said were thrown by assailants hiding behind young stone pelters.

Banning pellet guns an option?

During its stint in opposition, the Mehbooba Mufti-led Peoples Democratic Party repeatedly cornered her predecessor Omar Abdullah over the use of pellet guns while seeking a ban on the “lethal” weapon.

However after taking over the reins of the state, her party, which is running the government in coalition with the BJP, has continued with the policy of using pellet guns.

Last year the international watchdog Amnesty International had asked the state government to stop the use of pellet guns after a teenager from Palhalan in Baramulla, Hamid Nazir, was hit by more than 100 pellets in his face and eyes, rendering him blind in one eye.

While the state government hasn’t commented on the issue of banning pellet guns, the police and CRPF have opposed any move to ban their use – saying the weapon was “far less harmful” compared to bullets.

Inspector general CRPF (J&K) Atul Karwal told The Wire that the use of pellet guns “saves lives”. “It is unfortunate that there have been eye injuries but the pellets are less lethal than getting hit by bullets,” he said.

To a question, the CRPF chief said a viable solution has to be arrived at before banning pellet guns, adding that if the government bans the weapon without providing an alternative option, the security forces would be forced to use bullets.

“Such a situation will increase the chances of fatalities,” he said.

A senior police official who asked not to be identified acknowledged the pellets have “devastated” many lives. “But what is the option with us? The pellet guns are far less dangerous than live ammunition,” he said.

Again with the bull$hit, give it a rest.

My friend have used harsh words anywhere? Why are you showing your frustration? If Indian terrorist regime is going to kill innocent civilians world is going to condemn you. So stop killing innocent civilians and stop the brutality.

And azad kashmir was part of india and now its part of pakistan because we took it from you. Also all pf pakistan was part pf india and we took ot from you. You also served us muslims as dlaves for a 1000 years.
So what your point here....now do you see why i have given you the title of the stupidest indian on the net. If you had used your brain your would never have broughg that up

Irrespective of whatever your dilutions and bragging are. India as a nation is doing really good and down the road we are poised to even better. That's what all matter. And I'm looking forward for the disparity of our respective nations to widen to an exponential proportion.

Now you at-least have an India which discusses or even blames Pakistan. But we have long stopped about the idea of talks, we don't even talk about talks with Pakistan now. I'm waiting for the day all kinds of relationships are severed, forget friendship we won't even have enmity with you down the road. It's just a matter of time. :disagree::disagree::disagree:

It's a matter of perception, the very fact that Jammu and Kashmir is mentioned in constitution of India itself make it an Integral part of India. the Article 370 just gives the state a special status and more autonomy. That doesn't mean it's not a part of India.

Regarding your last paragraph, you can say or do whatever you want we will do and keep doing whatever we deem best for us. :)

You really do belive in your bullshit

Well the whole world know what is bullshit and what is not, that's more than enough for us. :p:

Lol, it is called duplicity and not diplomacy, either you accept that Kashmir is acceded to India through instrument of accession Article 370, that entails Kashmir is not an integral part of India...or don't accept the article 370 of constitution and throw it away and say Kashmir is an integral part of India.

They both are two different things....

Those who are saying all the time that Kashmir is an integral part of India are wrong in the sense that the state of Jammu and Kashmir enjoys autonomy as enunciated in Article 370 which says that except the three subjects—foreign affairs, defence and communications—the other articles of the constitution that gave powers to the Central Government would be applied to Jammu and Kashmir only with the concurrence of the state’s constituent assembly.

But going by the Chanakya duplicity of India which believes in falsehood, lies and deceit...this will remain like it, low moral grounds for India here. The reason Kashmir is in turmoil...

They are taught to do this in statecraft in politics, compulsive liars they are.





















...Indian media boycotts any article giving true picture of the IOK situation, so much so for the so called largest democracy. Most of the articles was printed in DAWN .

Deaths fanning the flames in India-held Kashmir on Eid

TRAL: One was the poster boy of India-held Kashmir's (IHK) uprising, the other a seemingly random victim of a surge of violence that shows little sign of ending.

But as Muslims in India began celebrating Eid on Tuesday, the families of Burhan Wani and Riyaz Ahmed Shah started their day with a trip to a cemetery, united in grief but with vastly different reflections on their losses.

"When Burhan left us, he left for the cause and became the son of the whole of Kashmir, so I constantly thank God it was my son who was sacrificed," said Muzaffar Wani as he spoke calmly of his son's death in a gun battle with soldiers.

Gulping back tears, Shah's sister Amina tells a very different story; overwhelmed by the thought that her 22-year-old brother's life had been cut short after being shot for no apparent reason on his way home from a shift as a security guard.

"Riyaz never took part in the protests, he never even picked up a stone. He was very responsible, all he ever wanted to do was put food on the table," said Amina at the family's home in the state capital Srinagar.

"We have still not come to terms with what happened, our hearts are restless," added her older sister Shahina, describing her family's Eid that included a trip to Riyaz's grave in a section of the local cemetery reserved for 'martyrs'.

The usual Eid feast of mutton and chicken would be replaced by lentils and rice.

"We will be praying for all those who have been injured or martyred... the entire Kashmir nation is in mourning."

Around 80 Kashmiris have died in the two months since Wani was killed on the southern edge of the region, making it one of the worst bouts of violence since a full-blown armed rebellion was at its peak in the 1990s.

Prayers banned
All efforts to thwart the unrest have failed, and anger towards their rulers shows every sign of escalating in IHK.

Fearful that large scale congregations could morph into mass protests against Indian rule, authorities have banned prayers at Srinagar's main mosque.

Helicopters and drones buzz over the city, while internet and mobile networks have been suspended.

With virtually all shops shuttered for weeks, wrecking what should be one of the busiest times of the year for retailers, few families will be exchanging gifts or enjoying lavish feasts.

While the shutdown was initially imposed by the Indian authorities, retailers closed in response to calls by separatist groups.

In Wani's home town of Tral, normal life has come to a standstill with schools shut and public transport suspended since his killing on July 8.

One of the few hives of activity is the family home where Muzaffar Wani still receives a steady stream of visitors paying their respects to a rebel leader who has arguably become more potent since his passing.

He was the second son to have died at the hands of Indian forces, with his older brother Khaled allegedly tortured to death in April last year after being intercepted on his way back from a clandestine meeting with his brother.

Muzaffar Wani told AFP there would be Eid celebrations but he was heartened that his sons have managed to galvanise the separatists' cause.

"I'm proud of their sacrifices... of course I'm sad as well and try not to talk about it too much in case it weakens my resolve," said Wani, who also began his day by visiting his sons' graves.

Burhan and Khaled account for two of the 45 plots in Tral's graveyard, all of whom have died in the separatists' cause since independence.

Speaking in front of a poster proclaiming "Burhan, your blood will bring about a revolution", Muzaffar Wani recounted how his then 15-year-old son left home to join the Hizbul Mujahideen, angered by a beating that soldiers dished out to his brother.

Sneaking home
Over the next eight years, he would occasionally sneak home at night before rejoining his fellow militants in a group that supports Kashmir becoming part of Pakistan.

In Tral, Pakistani flags fly from rooftops while graffiti denouncing "Indian dogs" or glorifying "our hero Burhan" are ubiquitous.

Some members of the security forces admit that authorities underestimated the impact of killing Wani, a dashing 23-year-old who built up a big following on social media as he posed with an AK-47.

While Wani's killing has fanned the separatist cause, a senior police official acknowledged that Shah's shooting had exacerbated the divide between the security forces and an alienated civilian population. He died when pellet gunshot fired at close range tore through vital organs.

There was no record of stone-throwing and he was on a scooter, said the officer, speaking anonymously. "There can be no justification."

They are taught to do this in statecraft in politics, compulsive liars they are.

Rich coming from who ???? LOL :lol:

Your initial exercise of support of Kashmir conflict itself is a classic example of falsehood, lies and deceit. It was Pakistan who supported the rebellion in Poonch by allowing your tribal militia (as well as regulars disguised as militia) while still having a standstill agreement with the Maharaja. But I never saw or read about any Chanakya from Pakistan ???

If Pakistan's conduct as a nation is the benchmark of trust and diplomacy, then I would take you views about India as a compliment. :p:

Mate we die they die....indians talk of war. Remeber they bought a million men to the border and then realised you couldnt feed them and sent them back. Indians love to talk
Hahaha....love the way you are seething with anger....why bring the wrath of india on you mate? India already made you go round begging to IMF and the whole world..you haven't yet learned a lesson?I think you will learn the lesson only when you are thrown back into stone age..hhahaj.love you bro..mmmuuuuaahh
