Why Glamorize the People Taking Law in to Their hands

Now a days, every day the Security Forces are coming under stone pelting at various locations and every day one odd person, may be an adult or a child is meeting with his death. Unfortunate it is, but the question is, did he die in road accident or did he die while pelting stones.

Don’t this whole affair of stone pelting sound bizarre. Are there no Tar roads in Kashmir or are there so many stone queries in Kashmir that stones are so readily available all over the state of Kashmir (across all kind of towns) that they can be thrown on Security Forces in ‘spontaneous’ demonstration. Or is it that these stones being systematically made available as part of planned strategy to force the hand of Security Forces in firing Tear gas, Rubber bullets or actual bullets? Remember even tear gas shell or Rubber bullet can kill if it gets launched or fired from closer distance.

All is not well in Kashmir. A lot of planning seems to be behind these protests being called ‘Spontaneous’ by Azadi Protagonists. There is some one or there are some people who want to take shelter behind ladies and children because facing Security Forces, even with guns in their hand, has become costlier affair as the forces have dominated the area and gun can not do much any more in such a situation.

If these youths are being forced in to demonstrations as a shield, our sympathies should be with these innocent young boys and administration must take a note of it and crack down on actual perpetrators. On the other hand if these youth are party to the whole game voluntarily and are using pre-supplied stones to force the hand of Security forces, then we all must refraining from calling them ‘Killed’ because only innocent people when they die in firing or accident, etc are called ‘Killed’..

In this regard this blog post is worth reading:-
