[Reader-list] Imams call for black ribbons on Bakr-Eid

[Lalit Ambardar]

If only such calls were issued when the Pakistan sponsored pan Islamism inspired terrorism raised its monstrous head initially in Kashmir in 1989-90 when the hapless Kashmiri Hindu Pandits were subjected to ethnic cleansing in the valley, possibly things would not have been so terrible today( all leads in most 'jihadi'teror attacks in rest of India lead to Pakistan & POK via Kashmir) Even now there is no condemnation of those who seek 'azadi bara e Islam'( freedm through Islam) in Kashmir.
