Dear Editor,
Though I congratulate Mehbooba Mufti on being formally elected to the J&K Assembly, I am saddened by the move of terrorists/separatist forces to show their presence in the Valley by targeting the CRPF convoy. The sight of coffin boxes of our slain jawans being carried for the last rites was disturbing. Now that she has been given a green light by the electorate, Mehbooba Mufti must perform her duty as a responsible Chief Minister of the state. She must act in a positive and strict manner as she has the backing of the Centre. Terrorists who disrupt the democratic way of functioning should not be spared. If they kill our one soldier, a hundred of them should be killed by our paramilitary forces. Only that way the insurgency in Kashmir can be curtailed. Violence cannot bring peace to the state.
