[Reader-list] The other Shopian story

[Kshmendra Kaul]

It must be one amongst the many sinister plots of INDIA. 
 
These bloody Hindu Indians want to kill the Muslims of Kashmir, one by one; by one; by one; by ...... and are killing the Muslims of Pakistan bomb blast by bomb blast; by bomb blast; by bomb blast; by bomb blast; by ......
 
I think India should see some sense, rectify it's ways and handover Kashmir to the Al Qaeda and the Taliban (Afghan).  
 
Of course Arundhati Roy, Richard Shapiro, Angana Chatterji, Inder Salim, Sanjay Kak should be made citizens of this Islamic Kashmir. They will be sure to receive full protection with honour dignity and equality, as is exemplified by all Islamic countries.
 
Who would be the Ameer ul Momineen? Sheikh Osama? Mullah Omar? Maulvi Omar? Syed Geelani? Maybe Asiya Andrabi.

8 killed, Shopian village stays indoors after dark

Keller (Shopian) : Eight killings around Shopian¹s remote Keller village in
the past eight months have struck fear in the villagers who now hardly
venture out of their houses after dusk.

On Tuesday evening, Sheeraza Akthar, 21, was shot inside her house by
unidentified militants. Three days later, militants again struck in the
neighbouring Kadipora village where, police said, two unknown masked gunmen
entered the house of Nazir Ahmad Chopan and shot him. Like Akthar, Chopan
also died on the spot.

³After the series of killings, everyone here is scared. We do not dare to
move out from our houses during the evening hours. Villagers now bolt the
doors of their house before dusk,² said Khurshid Ahmad, an agricultural
labourer, who lives at Hirgam Keller.

³The killings, especially of women, have left people worried. We want to
know why civilians are being killed like this?² he asked.

Another villager, Jalaluddin, who runs a grocery shop in the village, said,
³After the killings, our friends and relatives from outside villages have
stopped visiting our village.²

He said after the killings, government officials too are reluctant to visit
Keller.

Keller, with some 800 households, is fringed by forests and is one of the
most landscaped villages of south Kashmir¹s Shopian district.

Police have held a militant module active in the area responsible not only
for the recent killings. The module is reportedly headed by a foreigner and
comprises five to six militants.
