It is the ill luck and unfortunate for Kashmir that the militancy is again raising its ugly head .The spurt in the killings of the policemen and innocent laborers from outside the UT is hair-raising and condemnable and any amount of condemnation pales into insignificance before the enormity of the terrorist killings of the innocent policemen and common civilians and those poor laborer from outside .The three killings in three days one after the other is a matter of grave concern and LG saying that normalcy has returned the valley is questionable and there is a big question mark on the claims of the BJP government and the UT administration .Something should be done to restore the trust and confidence of people in the government .The increase in the killings of the policemen and civilians puncture the claims of the BJP government of the centre and the UT administration that situation in Kashmir is limping back to normal .It is very sad and disturbing that the innocent killings are taking place in Kashmir and soaking the land with precious human blood .The militants are killing Kashmiris day in and day out and these savages have turned once paradise on earth into a hell .The common people of Kashmir should raise their voice against militancy and help the security agencies to fight militancy which is alien to the Kashmiri culture and these killings are a stain and blot on the much talked about Kashmiriyet .It is a foregone conclusion that unless and until the general public of Kashmir will not raise against militancy ,no amount of the cordon and search operations and the fight of the security forces will yield any positive results .It is an old saying that God helps those who help themselves and so the people of Kashmir should raise their voice against militants and militancy and the threats ,intimidation and the mayhem and killings will be subdued as no one has the strength including the militants to bring violence in its train .The time has come that the common Kashmiri should cooperate and raise their voice against militancy and only then the days of militancy will be numbered .Kashmir is the land of Sufism and the flag of Kashmiriyet should fly high and for this it is all the more necessary to fight the demon of militancy jointly and thus we should resolve to defeat and frustrate the designs of the militants who are hell bent to destroy Kashmiriyet and bring bad name to Kashmir .It is the hard fact that unless and until the common Kashmiri will not unite and raise their voice against militancy ,no amount of anti militant operations will be successful .Therefore the people of Kashmir should seize the opportunity and unite to oppose the militancy and expose and frustrate the militants who are snatching the peace and pleasure of Kashmir and are turning the land of Kashmir into hell .Thus before it is too late ,the commoners of Kashmir should go against militancy and loudly proclaim that Kashmiris are against militancy as it is alien to Kashmiri culture .The militants have brought havoc to Kashmir’s plurality and tolerance and now it is the opportune time to unite and oppose the acts of militants as it has disrepute Kashmir and Kashmiriyet and we are morally and religiously bound to frustrated the evil designs of the militants who are working at the behest of foreign country .we should pledge and take on militancy as before the will of people militancy will definitely loose and therefore we should take on the demon of militancy to save the residual of Kashmiriyet and this will be written with the golden letters as it will give a death kneel to militancy otherwise one will conclude that the Kashmiris are siding with militancy .It is a hard fact and a reality that the roaring guns of militants will fall silent before the will and union of the people and so it is our moral and religious duty to raise our voice against militancy and show the whole world how the unarmed people of Kashmir have defeated the militancy. Besides this the security forces should maintain pressure on militants and curb militancy with iron fist. Intelligence should be made efficient and there should be no let up in intelligence and all those involved in the recent killings and spurt in militancy should be apprehended and brought to justice as per the law of the land .No leniency should be shown with the enemies of humanity and they should be caught and the judiciary should give them exemplary punishment or else the powers will face the wrath of public. We should strongly condemn the killings by the militants and organize demonstrations against such inhuman and savage killings as it has no place in the democratic ,liberal and civilized world or otherwise we are embracing the medieval times and are going back to stone age .Therefore without wasting further time ,all of us should unite and fight militancy with the will of the public before which the guns of militants will become silent and so we should voice our concern and condemnation so forcefully that the militants will be on run and the sun of Kashmitiyet will again shine and illumine the land of Kashmir .This done the days will not be far off ,when militancy will be out of Jammu and Kashmir. Thus this should be our resolve and pledge that we have to fight the militancy to finish and with the end of militancy ,the good days of pre 1089-90 area will come back and all will be once again all right .Our prayer to the almighty Allah should be that the all powerful will bring peace ,security ,brotherhood and pleasant old days will be back to life and Kashmir will once again become a paradise on earth .But for this all of us have to work hard and forge unity and put a strong fight against militancy so that it will come to an end .It is foregone conclusion that the militants guns will become silent and roars of militants who have become savages will again become human beings with humanitarian values high in their lives .This will become possible only if all of us will sink differences and unite to take on the militancy which is devouring innocent lives and putting us to trouble .So it is high time that all of us unite to frustrate and defeat the evil designs of militants who are wrecking havoc in Kashmir on behest of the enemy country .In short the guns of militants will fall silent before the Might and will of common Kashmiris.
