[Reader-list] 'Kashmiri Pandits should be the ones running Amarnath Board'

[Pawan Durani]

Shivam ,

grow up ..... whom are you trying to befool . If you do not know a thing
about Kashmir , please stop acting an expert.

Are you even aware that it was PDP who did not allow passage of protection
of  temples in Kashmir bill ..... in the assembly..

Shivam , you re suffering from a Stokholm syndrome.

Grow up...... your talk of communal harmony in Kashmir can be best described
as "idiotic"

Stop playing with our sentiments.
