[Reader-list] Where is Kashmir's conscience?

[Pawan Durani]

And the sickular India , knowing well that it was Mufti Sayed , who
engineered violence against Hindus of AnantnAg in 1986 , made him the Home
Minister of India to please the minorty community as if there was dearth of
other more capables among minorities.

The breeding ground for these politicians are the sickulars and the so
called liberals of our society.

Mehbooba is just a moderate face of a fanatic mindset .
