Dear Wali Arif ,

Congratulations for admitting that 208 Kashmiri Pandits were killed. If you
believe in Govt records , then the Govt has no record of total number of
Kashmiri Pandit having been killed in Kashmir. And the total figure as per
the Govt for number of persons killed in Kashmir post 1989 is 14000 + .

I have a Govt document to prove that.

Now for my figure of 3000 Kashmiri Pandits killed in Kashmir , I personally
have list of 1800 + people who were killed . There were expectedly many many
others who did not even lodge a complaint and you know police were hand in
glove with terrorists. Infact arms were transferred in Kashmir using state
govt ambulences.Kashmiri Pandits were not even treated in hospitals, for
their killing was considered just ....as it was a work of Jihadis.

And if yiu still keep wondering , i am not surprised for you too belong to
the same set of school.

I do not need to tell you which one , you know that.

God Bless

Regards

Pawan Durani
