[Reader-list] more on state-sponsored fake encounters

[Lalit Ambardar]

Batla House  encounter in Delhi , last
year, saw the killing of a senior police officer, yet some on this forum & outside
denounced it to be a ‘fake’ even before any ‘enquiry’ was commissioned.

 

Army & other
security men keep falling to the bullets of the pan Islamists in Kashmir- Major
Akash Singh being the latest martyr who was killed in an encounter day before yesterday
yet there is not a word against the zealots responsible for the continued cycle of ‘death
& destruction’ in Kashmir, in the name of illusive  ‘azadi’ .    



Regards all

L A

ps: It is not to justify
fake encounters. The case in question must be thoroughly investigated/ tried to
establish the truth.
