Center,State and the Shoe

The death toll in the current movemnet or what is now referred to as Kashmir's INTIFADA has reached 58 since June 11 2010.The irony is that India is still not in a mood to understand what the people of Kashmir want and it was evident from the Indian PM's speech to his nation as he promised economical packages and jobs to the Kashmiri youth.On one hand Indian PM said that he can understand the anger and pain of the Kashmiri youth and within no time humiliated them as he offered them jobs and once again gave a deaf ear to the decades old reverberating slogan "HUM kYA CHAHTEY AAZADI" which means "WE WANT FREEDOM."Why is to so hard for India to at least acknowledge the real demand and feelings of Kashmiri people?

The PM's speech had no positive effect on ground,Kashmiri youth have been hearing it for too long and they don't wanna pay any heed to these speechs any more.

On 15th August a historic incident was written down in the books of freedom struggle of Kashmir, when Mr.Abdul Ahad Jan an Assistant Sub Inspector of the J&K police hurled a shoe towards the CM just when he hoisted the flag of his slavery.As in case of all previous shoe throwing incidents Mr.Ahad Jan also missed the target but neverthless made his point by waving black flag and raised the slogan"WE WANT FREEDOM" before he was carried away in an inhumane manner by the CM's security and was beaten to pulp which took him to the hospital.The daring act by the cop made him a hero in the eyes of the common masses and soon thousands visited his home at Ajas in Bandipora.The indian media as usual tried to dilute the incident by broadcasting the video clips without sound of Mr. Ahad Jan crying in front of CM when CM had called him to his place and they reported saying he regreted his action and that the shoe was actually thrown towards DG Police Kuldeep Khoda and later CM tried to portray himself as a hero by pardoning him and released him. As soon as Mr.Ahad Jan was released he resigned from the Job and while talking to media persons say he does not regret what he did which has made him a hero once for all.

Kaashmir--The valley of death

20 dead in 72 hours, it has been a massacre of the common people going on in this part of the world for which the former President of US Bill Clinton had once said "Kashmir is the most beautiful jail of the world" and he was not wrong. The past week was a relatively calm till Friday 30th July when the indian security forces once again went on a killing spree and started spilling the blood of innocent youth of Kashmir. Since then the number of martyrs has increased exponentially, on friday as soon as the reports of firing at uptown area of Chanpora spread across the valley thousands of people came out on roads and started protesting against the state terrorism in the vale. The slogans of "HUM KYA CHAHETY AAZADI" which has been the symbol of denial against the Indian occupation and is considered to be the soul of the Kashmiri Revolution since decades started reverberating through out the vale.The massacre had just begun, soon after friday prayers security forces started firing at the peaceful procession in the Apple town of Sopore killing two youth Mohammad Ahsan Ganai and Showkat Ahmad Wagaey.The news brought more people out on the road protesting against barbarism of Indian security forces.In the north Kashmir's Pattan town another 14yr old boy Mohammad Rafiq Bhat became the victim of state sponsored terrorism and had to pay with his life.

INA LILLAH HE WA INNA ILLAH'I RA'AJI'OON

On the following day 31st July Saturday protests were on across the vale and blood of four more hapless Kashmiri's was spilled.The worst was yet to come on the 1st August Sunday that became a bloody sunday claiming 9 innocent lives and injuring 100's.On the fateful sunday protesters in South Kashmir's Pampore area defied the restrictions and came out on roads protesting against the killing of a young woman in nearby Khrew area,as soon as people reached the national highway police resorted heavy tear gas shelling and soon they started firing at the demonstrators killing two more protesters, one of them Nayeem Ahmad Shah (20yrs) was declared brought dead by the doctors at SMHS hospital in Srinagar and another youth Rayees Ahmad(18yrs) breathed his last near Nowgam-byepass area but people were determined enough to make a stand and continued protests.In the nearby area of Khrew the massacre was on, the SOG(Special Operations Group) who have always been brutal intercepted the peacefull procession resulting in confrontation.The angry youth retaliated with stones (which have now become the weapon of latest INTIFADA),attacking the SOG camp were from the SOG personal started firing at the protesters indiscriminately.The firing almost continued for 3 hrs killing 2 youth and injuring many more. Later in the afternoon youth who were hundreds in number joined the protesters and attacked the SOG camp heavily, the SOG men flew from the camp and took refuge in the nearby army camp. The angry protesters torched the SOG camp and the explosives inside exploded killing 4 youth on spot and injuring many others fatally.The first day of August turned out to be the bloodiest day among past 52 days with 9 more graves dug.Today the day was no different as 6 youth and a 9yr old boy were covered by the blood-soaked soil.

Har simit dekh tou maidaan e karbala hai

lahoo he lahoo ab shab o roaz beh raha hai

Phir be dagamagati nahi,zinda dil ye qoum hai

nikaley ga Ghulami ka janaza, har su yehi shour hai

The government has decide to stick to its old age theory of cross border instigation and all that myth.The Central Govt. is in complete denial to accept Kashmir as a disputed territory and in the meeting between the puppet CM Omar (Singh),Home Minister and Prime Minister of the occupying nation came out with a solution of sending even more troops to the most densely militarized part of the world. The puppet CM in his press conference said we will ensure that peace prevails in vale either by hook or by crook, but the real fact is he will just terrorize the people for sometime what after that? The sentiment of AAZADI is growing in bosom of every Kashmiri.The former CM and father of current CM in a media debate made his intentions clear when he said, "how can we allow them to destroy public property,"he is the same man who few days ago gave a naive statement "GOLI MARO KASHMIR KO."

The State Govt. banned all the local media channels who aired the truth about the indian brutalities and on the other hand the indian media has started portraying the youth as riot mobs which really is pathetic. The Indian media has always been biased when it comes to the plight of Kashmiri Muslims while they leave no stone unturned to highlight the loses that businessmen of Jammu are suffering.

What is happening?

Kashmir has been almost shut for 28 days now during which all business establishments,educational institutions,Govt. Offices have remained closed as people were protesting against the human rights violation in Kashmir. Today after a relatively peaceful week unconfirmed reports of Killing of a civilian in uptown area of Chanpora shook the people again.What is happening in the Vale of Saints, the place for which the Mughal emperor Jehangir had once said:
"Agar Firdous ba roye e zameen ast
Hameen asto Hameen asto hameen ast

If there is paradise on the face of earth
Indeed It is here it is here it is here"

The valley at present is facing a humanitarian crises because of the genocide going on in the vale. In past 28 days almost 18 people have been martyred most of them teenagers including a 9yr boy and a 24yr female. In past one month reports say almost 1500 youth have been arrested and booked under various cases just because they were protesting against the atrocities of the indian armed forces.The State Govt. is using every manoeuvre to suppress the justified voice. The state police recently booked Mirwaiz South Kashmir Moulvi Yasir under the draconian law of PSA for calling "Anantnag" as "Islambad" which shows their frustration.

"Jis Khaaq ke zameer mein ho aatish e chinaar
Mumkin nahi ki sard'e woh khaaq e arjumand" Alama Iqbal(RA)

The Govt. seems unmoved by the crises as they are holding to the myth that the protests are being instigated by the people on the other side of the border but if we take a look at the current situation of Pakistan this claim seems inappropriate as Pakistan has itself become a victim of terrorism most probably backed by RAW,MOSSAD and CIA along with the poor leadership of 10% Zardari. The seriousness of Govt. to solve the crises in Kashmir could clearly be determined by keeping in view the statement given by Former CM of J&K and the current Misnister of New and Renewable Energy in central Govt. Farooq Abdullah who was asked a question regarding the prevailing situation in Kashmir and the answer came as shock "GOLI MARO KASHMIR KO."

"Qaba kis muh se jaawogey Ghalib
Sharam tumko magar nahi aati" Mirza Ghalib


The sentiment of "AAZADI" has been transferred to the next generation, the generation that has seen the Vale in the worst conditions.These are the "Children of Conflict" as they have witnessed too much of bloodshed and atrocities, they were brought up in fear. They have witnessed there loved ones being murdered, they have witnessed the inhumane and gruesome acts like the Kunanposhpora, Handwara etc. mass rape cases were they watched the chastity of their sisters being violated. They not have only fear but anger hidden in their bosoms and now that fear has been overthrown by the anger.

"I shall not cease to fight against thee and thy people until either you leave my country or I leave my life. And I swear by Him who knows what is in men's hearts that if my hands were not bound this very moment, I would fight you with my bare hands, old and broken as I am.." Lion of the desert Umar Mukhtar(RA)

The downtown area of Srinagar has been keeping alive the struggle for a long time and has been turned into "Gaza Strip of Kashmir" by the authorities. The people of the area are facing an acute shortage of essential commodities and few days back the relief caravan that was on its way to Shehar e Khaas was stopped at Sonwar just like Gaza Flotilla raid by Pisrael. I salute the perseverance and dedication of the people of Kashmir in general and the people of downtown in particular.

"Aye taayir e laahoti uss rizq se mout achi
Jis riziq se aati ho parvaaz mein kotahi" Alama Iqbal(RA)

If we monitor the situation closely it seems the leadership has become irrelevant to some extent as the younger generation find it hard to trust them.Since 2008 younger generation has started to take the matters in their own hands as the leadership failed to take the 2008 mass uprising to its logical end.The division of leadership does not only harm the cause but it has started to create gap among the people as well and if we do not end this division I fear that the time will come when the gap will be too large to fill.

Bloggers on the catch list

As the indian forces in Indian Occupied Kashmir are on a killing spree in which they killed around 15 young kashmiri's of age group 9-25yrs including a female, the state police had decided to go against the blogger's mostly the user's of the most accessed social networking site Facebook. Since last few days police is tracking down the bloggers who have been trying to make the world come across the truth about indian brutalities in this disputed territory and asking them to report to the police stations and in some cases arresting them. The Central and State Govt. seems to be frustrated how the people have been trying to reach out the world and make them hear thr voices. As noticed recently almost 45% of the facebooker's from the valley had changed their profile pictures to "I PROTEST," which seems to have freaked out the indian state.

The people of this disputed territory at this point of time are being terrorized on every front possible, to suppress their genuine voice, the voice for justice, voice for freedom. On the one hand the so called security agencies have been arresting the protesters on the other-hand indian media is playing dirty tricks to divert the attention of the people while the state media was put on a stand still and now the state police is trying to close on the e-protester's. The state police has blamed many Facebook user's of instigating violence and had slapped harsh cases against the youth as 'waging war against state.' In the words of one such blogger he said." I received a call Saturday evening,” a face book user, who was booked by police In Islamabad town, told rising Kashmir. “The person wanted to meet me. I mistook him as my friend. I told him we can meet after strikes and curfews are over”.

As the face book user declined to meet, the caller insisted he should come to lalchowk (Islamabad).
“Or else he said he would come to my home,” the Facebook user said.
Later, on inquiring by the user, the caller identified himself as a Police officer.

“He told me an FIR has been registered against me in Islamabad police station,” the face book user said.
The Facebook user said he was told that he was charged of “provoking people” for doing anti-state activities.
“Police officer told me you are very active on Facebook. And you are uploading images and videos that instigate violence against state,” the user said.

After half an hour, the user said, he received another call from Station House Officer Islamabad Police station.
“He told me that FIR has been registered against me,” the user said. “ I got shocked, I told both the officers I was writing and uploading truth. There was no images or text that could have instigated violence”.
From then onwards, the user evading arrest.

“I am not reporting to police station since they would at least keep me detained for six days” he said. “Somebody told me they have slapped harsh acts against me. The acts incriminate me in waging war against state”.
The facebook user said apart from him few more people have also been called by police.
The incident has raised a widely held suspicion in Kashmir that Facebook was being monitored by police and other security agencies

SSP Islamabad Showkat Malik when asked about the face book scrutiny said, “ I have no idea about it”.

The Facebook is a very popular social networking site which provides people a platform to exchange and share ideas and upload pictures and videos.

Indian media plays dirty

After the series of cold blooded murders by the indian security forces,it came as a shock today as indian media started to cover up for their men.NDTV 24x7 today played a dirty gag backed by the center and state govt., by playing a so-called phone conversation which probably has been planned. In the conversation two persons from district budgam were saying they wanted to see many more deaths. It is nothing but a dirty step of a dirty politics that is trying to deviate not only the people of Kashmir but also trying to cover up the brutalities of Indian Armed forces by holding others responsible for the mess.It seems a step to show the world that how clean are the hands of indian armed forces.

If we really ponder over all this media gag many questions arise that they need to answer before we buy there fake stories.

Why only now did they find such conversations?

Why did this all happen after handing over the capital to army?

Why did even Barkha Dutt came to summer capital after so many deaths?

How do we believe that conversation that was played was real and not a planned one?

There are so many unanswered question that make us doubt the credibility of biased indian media regarding this case.I am not ready to buy this story at all, please share your views about it.

Indian Armed forces on a Killing Spree in Kashmir----Bloodbath in Kashmir

Over past six months more then 15 teenagers fell pray to the brutality of Indian armed forces but from the last few weeks, it has been a bloodbath in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.

From 12 June 2010 till now almost 11 people lost there lives most of them young teenagers.

It all started with the killing of an innocent boy Tuffail Ahmad Matoo a student of 11th std. by the brutal forces on the fateful day of June 12.Protests erupted all over the valley against the killing and during the protests another 21yr old youth Rafiq Ahmad Bangroo was brutally beaten who succumbed to his injuries on June 19th at SKIMS. Thousands of people thronged to attend the funeral prayers of Rafiq next day and that is when the so called Security agencies once again shot at the protester's killing another youth Javed Ahmad Malla on spot and injuring many more. The separatist called for protest against the killing of innocent civilians across the beautiful vale which was once known to be the "Paradise on earth."

Unfortunately this was not the end of shock and miseries for the people of Kashmir,for them it had just begun. In the Apple Town Sopore an encounter had started between militants and the so called security forces, two militants were martyred in the encounter. It was June 24 the encounter ended and people were demanding the bodies of the two slained militant's to be handed over, when the so called security forces once again shot at the protesting civilians killing two youth Shakeel Ahmad Ganai (24) and Firdous Ahmad Kakroo a class 12th student on spot. In the following days the situation remained tense as people all over the valley were mourning the deaths.On June 27 Sunday, day long protest were held all over the valley and another youth Bilal Ahmad Wani, who was not the part of procession according to the eyewitnesses was shot dead while on his way to Masjid to offer prayers. Govt. failed to handle the situation and in the wake of call given by separatist for students to protest, ordered to shut the educational instt. for two days.

28 June was another day of continued bloodbath as the people marched from the different parts of the valley towards the Apple Town Sopore but were stopped by the Indian forces at different places and yet again outside the Kapra cinema near the headquarters of the 92 battalion CRPF near Sopore, the brute forces fired indiscriminately at protester's killing Tajamul Bashir Bhat a student of degree college sopore. This was not all, in the hamlet village of Delina a 9yr old boy Touqeer Ahmad Rather was shot dead by the CRPF.

Chaos had hit the whole valley,everyone was angry over the killings and in the meantime separatist leaders called for civil disobedience and protests, people came out on roads in Summer Capital Srinagars downtown area. Govt. felt helpless before the armed forces and gave them a clean chit and that acted as a fuel for the already started fire.

On June 29 an undeclared curfew was imposed in the summer capital Srinagar and people were not allowed to come out of there homes. While Srinagar was under siege South Kashmir was on boil, as the protests started early in the morning in Anantnag,eyewitnesses revealed that a 13yr old boy Arshid, who works at a tea shop was sitting near his shop when the large contingent of CRPF reached the place and fired three bullets upon him without any provocation. The news spread like fire and soon the whole district was on boil protesting against the barbarism of the brute occupying forces. The situation turned from bad to worst when the brute forces barged into the SK colony on Khannabal-Pahalgam road and resorted to indiscriminate firing killing two youth Ishtiyaq Ahmad Khanday (15) and Imtiyaz Ahmad on spot and injuring many others critically. Among the critically injured youth was Shujat ul Islam who succumbed to his injuries at SMHS hospital, taking the toll for the day to 3.

YE GAZI YE TERE PURISRAAR BANDHEY
JINEY TUNEY BAKHSHA HAI ZOAQ E KHUDAYI

DO NEEM IN KI THOKAR SE SEHRA O DARYA
SIMAT KAR PAHAAD INKI HAIBAT SE RAI

SHAHAADAT HAI MATLOOB O MAQSOOD E MOOMIN
NA MAAL E GANIMAT, NA KISHWAR KUSHAI

MAY ALLAH GRANT PARADISE TO ALL THE MARTYR'S OF KASHMIR,PALESTINE,CHECHNIA,AFGHANISTAN,IRAQ ..etc

After few days of continuous curfew, Srinagar was on boil yet again today on 6th July when two more civilians were murdered in cold blood by the indian armed forces. In the Tengpora area of Srinagar CRPF chased a 11th Class student Muzaffar Ahmad Bhat to death, who drowned in the stream while trying to run away from the brute forces. Today another youth Fayaz Ahmad fell prey to the bullets of the brute forces when they fired indiscriminately on the protester's who were demanding punishment to the killers of Muzaffar Ahmad Bhat. As soon as the news about the fresh killings spread protests erupted across the city. In the meantime Mirwaiz Umar Farooq staged a sit in the Rajouri Kadal area of the downtown. Thousands of people joined Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and staged a sit in. When the reports last came in Mirwaiz Umar Farooq lead procession was marching towards LAL CHOWK passing through different areas of Downtown were more people joined the procession. According to the eyewitnesses pro-freedom and anti-india, anti-armed forces slogans were reverberating in the old city.

Death toll increased to three in the Batmaloo area of Srinagar since morning when a girl named Fancy(24) was killed by the CRPF troopers who resorted to indiscriminate firing at Danderkhah area in batmaloo killing Fancy on spot. Eyewitnesses say the CRPF troopers started indiscriminate firing, "without any provocation."

Meanwhile Mirwaiz Umar Farooq's procession which was on its way to Lal Chowk was dispersed near Mamta Hotel at Khayam. A huge contingent of CRPF was already deployed who resorted to tear gas shelling and aerial firing and dispersed the procession which started from Rajouri Kadal.

Another youth Abrar Ahmad was killed at Maisuma when the CRPF troopers opened fire at the protesting youth. With killing of Abrar the death toll since morning has reached 4

Curfew has been imposed in the Summer Capital Srinagar, putting people once again under siege..

So far the Govt. has been unable to stop the civilian killings in Kashmir Valley by the CRPF troopers. The NC lead Govt. seems helpless against the Central Govt. who have given clean chit to the CRPF and in the meeting between DG CRPF and puppet Chief Minister Umar Abdullah, seems that DG has ordered the so called CM not to interfere in working of its troops which compelled the CM to give them a clean chit...

After the latest massacre by the indian armed forces on wednesday the Summer capital Srinagar was put under siege as all the entry and exit points were sealed. Govt. today handed over the capital to the Army who are well known for their brutality. Today regular army was deployed in Srinagar to suppress the uprising against the civilian killing and gross human rights violations by the brute indian forces. Army flag marched in the city center LAL CHOWK in morning. Situation still remains tense across the Kashmir Valley as reports came in about people protesting in large numbers in many districts of the Vale.

A truth about indian occupation of kashmir,human rights violation,justice and so called democracy

Kunan Poshpora: Residents of this small hamlet in north Kashmir, which witnessed, one the worst incidents in the history of Kashmir, mass rape during the intervening night of February 23 and 24 in 1991 by the troopers of 4 Raj Rifles of 68 Brigade, on Sunday accused authorities of hushing up the case. They demanded case be reopened and justice be done. Locals said that after the incident many civil and police officials turned up and promised that erring troopers would be punished. Even police lodged an FIR under section 376, 452 and 342 at Thregam police station against them. “Eighteen years have since the FIR was registered but neither have been the accused booked nor charge sheeted,” locals said, adding, “Case has been closed and hushed up. It should be reopened and culprits should be punished.” Sadness in the eyes of women in this small hamlet in north Kashmir is a grim reminder of what happened on that night, as the memories of the mass rape are still fresh in their minds. Recalling that night, villagers said the troopers in inebriated state cordoned off the village and asked men to assemble in an open ground. “We were paraded and tortured throughout the night under open sky,” they said, adding, “ Troopers barged into our houses and outraged the chastity of our women irrespective of age. They didn’t even spare a 5-year-old child and 95-year-old lady. It seemed that they were drugged. Those who tried to save the dignity and honour of their sisters, mothers and wives were beaten mercilessly by the troopers.” A victim Saja Begum (name changed) said, “A group of eight to 10 troopers barged into our house and attacked me. I pleaded before them that I was pregnant but they showed no mercy. After few days I gave birth to a baby with a fractured arm.”

Handwara, Nov 7: The alleged gang rape of a 10-year-old girl and her mother by Rashtriya Rifles troops sparked off massive protest demonstrations in this border town of Kupwara district on Sunday. Though State Government has ordered a magisterial probe, the Army denies the charges. Over six thousand people held strong protests at Kralgund and blocked Varmul-Handwara highway for over five hours. They raised slogans against the troops of 31 RR who, they alleged, raped 10-year-old Shabnam Rashid and her mother Aashia Begum, 29, wife of Abdur Rashid Dar, at Bader Payeen village of Handwara on Saturday night. The troopers, the protesters said, led by a Major barged into the house of Abdul Rashid Dar at Bader Payen and separated male and female members of the family. "The troopers then pounced on Aashia Begum, a mother of six children and repeatedly raped her. They later took her daughter Shabnam in other room and gang raped her too," the protesters said.

This is the reality about indian occupation of kashmir, the human rights violation and this is what they call democracy. The plight and agony of the people of kashmir is very much true. Every one has a right to live with respect,dignity and without any fear but in kashmir its not possible, even the chastity of our sisters and mothers is never safe. The people of Kashmir are living in a "Paradise made hell" and the responsible party for making the once paradise into a living hell is India.. The people of Kashmir deserve to Live free, they deserve to live a peaceful and prosperous life.. FREE KASHMIR
