[Reader-list] one more Kashmiri Pundit email & I'll commit suicide

[Pawan Durani]

Shivam ,

How much does one get paid for these days ?  I am sure not much with a
journalist of low calibre. I cant even find your articles in the envelopes
used by Moongfali walaas.

Your association and love for JKLF is well known. And thats reason u hate
us.

Pawan
