[Reader-list] Threat received from Kamal Hak of Panun Kashmir

[Samvit]

national/international interest. It is not anyone's personal whining
zone.

While on one front that entails disagreeing with and questioning those who are the "separatists" that take umbrage under one religion, on another front it means disagreeing with and questioning organisations like Panun Kashmir who are equally guilty of propagations that (I see as) harming the integrity of India by promoting religious and territorial divides in the name of another religion.

Please don't force them to transcend the self maintained levels of decency.
