[Reader-list] Jammu Truck driver beaten in Bijbehara,Kashmir

[Pawan Durani]

I wonder what Sajad Lone and Mehbooba have to say about this report:

*"On August 19, 2008, another truck driver Rashpreet Singh son of Tarlok
Singh, a resident of Gadigarh, Satwari, was mercilessly beaten-up by the
people at Bijbehara on Jammu-Srinagar National Highway when he was returning
to Jammu after unloading essential commodities in the Valley in his truck
No. 5411 JK02B. Rendering him unconscious, the mob escaped. A TATA Sumo
driver of Udhampur, spotted the driver lying unconscious and shifted him to
GMC Jammu where his condition was stated to be very critical. He was
struggling between life and death"*
(The Daily Excelsior, August 20, 2008).

Incidently Bijbehara is the 'stronghold' of the Mufti family!
*Are the Mufti's deliberately doing this so that non-muslim truck drivers
refuse to carry essential supplies to the valley?*
