Before this, Mr Rahul Bhat, a Government employee was shot dead by terrorists inside his office in central Kashmir’s Budgam District triggering massive protests in the region. Mr Bhat was gunned down by terrorists inside the Tehsil office in Chadoora town 3 weeks ago. He had got the job of a clerk under the special employment package for migrants.

Barely a week ago, Mr Amreen Bhat, a 35-year-old social media influencer, was shot dead by terrorists in the Budgam District. A 10-year-old, the woman’s nephew, was also injured in the attack. The attack was carried out by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists, Police had said. This was the seventh targeted killing in Kashmir this May 2022. While three of the victims were off-duty Policemen, four were civilians.

Hindu community members in the Kashmir Valley, including Rahul Bhat’s family, have accused the BJP-led Government at the Centre of making young Kashmiri Hindus ‘cannon fodder’ in the name of rehabilitation of the community.

Editorial Viewpoints

• Crushing Hindus is the Jihad being waged by religious fanatics. Keeping this in mind, will the Government take drastic steps to eradicate terrorists ?
• Jihadis are crushing Hindus every day in Kashmir. We should note that no political party, progressive, communist, etc., even protests against such barbarism !
• All Political parties have been appeasing Muslims. This has resulted in flourishing of terrorist and jihadi activities !
