[Reader-list] Memorandum to the Prime Minister on the issue of Gangrape of a deaf and dumb woman in Assam

[Lalit Ambardar]

 Those responsible for this kind of  savagery deserve to be apprehended,tried & hanged.
While the concerns about misuse of AFSPA need to be addressed it is more urgent to campaign against the prevailing regressive forces that invite harsh administrative measures like AFSPA. 
Kashmir boasted near zero crime rate & there was hardly  even routine policing visible anywhere in the valley  till  Pak sponsored anti India jihad was launched by foreign mercenaries in collaboration with the local Kashmiri jihadists at the behest of their Pak masters in 1989-90 
 Pre 1989-90  Kashmiri Islamists' anti India ranting was generally confined to Friday congregations & any occasional spillover  on the streets was controlled by lathi weilding policemen or in worst .303 armed JKAP would be deployed & in rare situations PAP from neighbouring Punjab.
How is a sovereign nation expected to counter AK-47/ rocket launcher & other sophisticated weapons welding hardened terrorists ? 
(pls read about pan Islamism inspired terror unleashed in Kashmir .. ..“Ham
Jashn-e-Kabul mana chukay, ab aao chalo Kashmir chalain” /We have celebrated
our victory in Kabul, Let’s go to Kashmir/

Difficult situations do demand difficult measures.Let us not forget about the sacrifices by the security men in combating the menace of  anti nationals.Let us also remember that Kashmiri Hindu Pandits who were subjected to brutal ethnic cleansing in the valley of their origin continue to languish as refugees in their own country.Let us also care for those Muslims in  Kashmiri whose voices are stifled due to religious blackmail & fear.Rgds allLA-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
