Following killing of scores of CRPF personnel in Pulwama attack protesters across India gave vent to their anger by targeting innocent Kashmiri students and traders. Members of different political parties were also seen on roads calling for revenge. Kashmiris in droves began running back to Kashmir purchasing air tickets in absence of a road link at savings of their lives. Kashmiris were reminded again “Mind it There is No Place For You in India” and yes “You Will Not Be Allowed Even To Get Out Of India”.
Jammu was the worst hit where mobs went on a rampage attacking anything and everything Kashmiri. The hate was fuelled further by the jingoistic media where anchor persons overtook politicians baying for blood.
It was the ordinary Kashmiri all of them were after as if Kashmir dispute had just taken birth and Kashmiris were responsible for it.
No saner voice could be heard reminding rampaging mobs that Kashmir is the legacy of partition of 1947 and have been paying the price for that.
