Hello Readers

Violence is a disease, You don't cure a disease by spreading it to more people.

The world is now almost in a stabilized condition, I mean there are no world wars, or a great plague or a famine all the countries are looking towards one primary goal that is developing both economically and culturally, not to forget the responsibility to save the natural habitats and flora and fauna of that land.

Even though India is an excellent county with ancient heritage filled with inventors who thought beyond all times and were successful in building beautiful empires and enchanting dynasties, and reached new heights in spirituality which even today id the supreme knowledge that mankind ever saw,  we have ended up in some serious issues in one of the beautiful valleys of Asia.

Kashmir since Independence has always been facing problems of many kinds like Pakistan occupied Kashmir and the Indian occupied Kashmir, countless sacrifices of our brave soldiers at the line of control due to ceasefire violations.

After the Uri surgical strikes conducted by our forces, Pakistan without any option is now resorting to proxy and guerrilla warfare in the name of stone pelters, and we all remember the brave act of Major Gogoi who tied up a stone pelter to his jeep and paraded him in the valley.

Since last week there is a lot of aggression and violence going on the in the valley, it has hot the papers and all the prime time debates are filled with this one topic: the Ramzan cease-fire issue.

The implications of the Ramzan cease-fire has turned ugly, it lead to the death of two eminent personalities, please read the media report which I have collected about them.

Journalist Shujaat Bukhari shot dead by gunmen in Srinagar

SRINAGAR: Veteran journalist and Rising Kashmir editor Shujaat Bukhari and his PSO were shot dead by unidentified gunmen outside the newspaper's office in the heart of Srinagar, police officials said on Thursday.

Bukhari, who was in his 50s, was leaving his office in Press Enclave in the city centre Lal Chowk for an iftar party when he was shot, officials said.

While one of the personal security officers (PSO) guarding him was killed, another policeman and a civilian were injured, they added.

The condition of the two injured in the shooting, which comes a day ahead of Eid, is critical, they said.

Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti said in a message that she was shocked and saddened by Bukhari's "sudden demise".

"The scourge of terror has reared its ugly head on the eve of Eid. I strongly condemn this act of mindless violence & pray for his soul to rest in peace. My deepest condolences to his family," the chief minister said on Twitter.

Terrorism, she said, has hit a new low with Bukhari's killing, "that too on the eve of Eid".

"We must unite against forces see9king to undermine our attempts to restore peace. Justice will be done," Mehbooba said.

It was not immediately clear how many gunmen attacked Bukhari, who earlier worked with The Hindu newspaper as its Kashmir correspondent.

Bukhari was instrumental in organizing several conferences for peace in the Kashmir Valley. He was also part of the Track II process with Pakistan.

Here is incident number two:

Abducted jawan Aurangzeb killed for being a buddy to Army officer

Source: The economic times

Pulwama district J&K: Abducted jawan Aurangzeb who was killed by terrorists in Pulwama, Jammu & Kashmir on Thursday, could have been singled out because of his closeness to an army officer who had gunned down Hizbul Mujahideen commander Sameer Tiger in Kashmir in April.

In a video released on social networking site, Twitter, Aurangzeb during his abduction is seen being interrogated about his closeness to Major Rohit Shukla, who had killed Sameer Tiger.

Aurangzeb confirms that he is Shukla’s ‘buddy’. A buddy is like an officer’s own “shadow”, moves with him, knows every detail about him, goes to operations with him and even proceeds on leave with him.

What is also coming to light is that an army deserter is suspected to have been behind Aurangzeb’s abduction, according to sources.

This detail about the incident is still being verified by the Army and the J&K Police. Special teams have also been formed to track down the killers. Major Shukla became a big name in Kashmir after he led the operation against Sameer Tiger and killed him. Shukla had suffered injuries during the encounter.

 A day before the meeting, a video of Tiger threatening Shukla went viral.

In relation, Aurangzeb could have been singled out due to being close to Shukla. Aurangzeb is a rifleman posted at the 44 Rashtriya Rifles camp at Shadimarg in Shopian.

On Thursday morning, some army personnel from the unit had stopped a car asking the driver to drop Aurangzeb in Shopian. The Rajouri resident was going home for Eid.

Later, terrorists stopped the vehicle as it approached Kalampora and abducted the jawan. Hours later, his bullet-ridden body was found in Pulwama.

So these souls, who were brutally murdered by mindless militants, were two kinds of heroes, Mr Shujaat Bukhari was a warrior with the pen, and Mr Aurungzeb was a brave jawan and a rifleman of the Rashtriya rifles who was returning home to meet his family for the festival of Ramzan. Shujaat Bukhara’s body was rattled with bullets, just outside his office when he was on the way to a gathering.

Dear readers now please think, do the above men deserve this? A jawan who protects his nation has no protection and an honest journalist who fought with his pen and brought awareness to many people, shot in cold blood?

Well regarding the decision taken by the home ministry regarding the Ramzan ceasefire I am not the right person to comment as I actually do not know the complications and circumstances which lead the ruling government to take this decision, but I would like to say if really people wanted to be true to their religion and celebrate Eid al-Fitr they would not have required a Ramzan ceasefire, because peace-loving people would not have demanded such stoppage of the forces as their mission is to just gun down the bad guys irrespective of any religion. 

I got this chunk from an interview of Jitendra Singh a BJP minister to Hindustan times:

Q: What were the gains from the ceasefire?

A: As a noble gesture, maybe the government sent out a message that if you are a pious Muslim, you are observing Roza, then as good human beings, we will cooperate with you. But if you are not faithful to your religion, to the sanctity of the fact that you are observing, where it is mandatory that you don’t think evil, you don’t harm anybody.

But if you don’t find that discipline, if you are not faithful to yourself, nothing prevents me from protecting myself. I think those who have not stuck to the sanctity of Ramzan stand fully exposed.

So the above answer says it all, you stand exposed who kill in the name of religion.

I would urge the forces to go all out on the enemy and punish the offenders and bring peace to these innocent souls who get targeted like trees in the path of a tornado.

I pay homage to these two great souls as well as all the other people who have laid down their life for the sake of peace in the valley.

Let good times eclipse the terrible time and with it all the destructive forces, who don’t know the meaning of peace.

I agree the blog has become a bit longish today, but I think it is worth the extra few minutes of our time taken to read let us all pray for their peace.
