Over the previous couple of days, I’ve heard discussions on information channels {that a} girl from Jammu has been saying numerous issues about Kashmir. Her identify is Anuradha Bhasin and she or he owns a newspaper known as Kashmir Occasions. In The New York Occasions, she has written that the media doesn’t have freedom in Kashmir. She has additionally mentioned that House Minister Amit Shah and the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, have been mendacity in regards to the scenario in Kashmir.
Anuradha ji, you aren’t a Kashmiri. You’re a Dogri from Jammu. You reside an opulent life within the peaceable metropolis of Jammu. Who’re you to speak in regards to the ache and struggling of being a Kashmiri? For us Kashmiris, Jammu was the haven of peace. All Kashmiris would rush to Jammu throughout winter months to benefit from the freedom there, and to breathe within the free air. In Jammu, Kashmiris all the time discovered freedom from the phobia and turmoil that we confronted within the Valley.
You already know nothing of how Kashmiris suffered the years of terror.
You already know nothing of the ache of being a Kashmiri. You have got one outdated relationship with Kashmir. Your father was one of many leaders of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Entrance (JKLF). He all the time supported that Kashmir ought to be separate from India and he all the time supported the separatists. Whether or not JKLF or some other identify, they’re all dahshat-gard (terrorists). Their solely purpose is to unfold dahshat (terror).
Anuradha ji, you’re crying and telling the world that PM Modi has completed all media freedom in Kashmir. Simply because your father stored the identify of your newspaper as Kashmir Occasions, don’t assume that you’ll act because the consultant of the Kashmiris. Let me let you know the one individuals who completed all the things in Kashmir are the dahshat-gard.
You’re a journalist and also you declare that you just communicate the reality. Did you ever write that the terrorists completed the liberty of the Kashmiri folks? Did you ever write that they completed our human rights? Did you ever write that they completed our happiness and our life?
I really feel extraordinarily unhappy to notice that your father represented the primary group of dahshat-gards in Kashmir. Due to the assist of individuals like your father, all teams of dahshat-gards and the teams of separatists and the Hurriyat grew to become robust. All of you grew to become robust and wealthy, and also you completed the lifetime of poor and helpless folks like us.
Why Anuradha ji? What hurt did we ever do to you that you just supported the separatists and all Pakistani stooges who completed us? Inform me one easy fact. Did you endure due to these dahshat-gards? No. I pray to the Almighty that neither you nor anybody else ought to endure the best way we did.
You have got many authorities allotments in Jammu and likewise in Kashmir. You have got your personal private properties in J&Ok. However maybe you’ll cry to know what all poor folks like me suffered. We’re a easy household residing in Lankression village within the Kupwara district. My three younger sons have been killed by the terrorists. Two have been married and one was single. Solely I understand how I introduced up my grandchildren who have been too small to know that their father had been killed.
How terrorists killed my sons
The yr was 1998. My eldest son was Bashir Ahmad. He was a faculty trainer and a well-known sportsperson of our space, Ramhall. He was extremely popular as a result of he had a captivating and loving character. My second son Abdul Ahad was a category four worker within the Irrigation division.
One night, the terrorists of Hizbul Mujahideen entered our home at about eight pm. They searched the home inquiring about me.

Now I used to be engaged in routine work and used to commit my time to the household.
Solely my son Bashir Ahmad and my daughters-in-law have been house at the moment with the youngsters. They panicked when the terrorists requested for me.

Throughout this dialog of 35 minutes, my son cried for my life and begged him repeatedly. However Mushtaq Peer didn’t hearken to him. He stored asking just for me.
Throughout this time, Mushtaq Peer got here to know that my son Bashir Ahmad had recognized him. He thought that my son would inform the police that he had come to their home with the intention to kill. He requested Bashir to face up and transfer two steps again. He advised my son to face straight in opposition to the wall.
My two sons have been killed inside minutes
Within the subsequent two minutes, Mushtaq Peer fired 12 rounds of bullets at my eldest son and killed him. My daughters-in-law have been shrieking and wailing, however the terrorists didn’t really feel any mercy. They have been nonetheless shrieking with terror when there have been extra gunshots exterior our home, within the courtyard. My second son Abdul Ahad Wani had been killed by the identical group.
Abdul Ahad was getting back from the mosque after night prayers. He was stopped by the terrorists on the gate. The terrorists known as their commander inside on the hi fi. They requested him what to do with Abdul Ahad. The commander advised them to kill this ‘munafiq’. My two sons have been killed inside minutes of one another.
My youngest son, Nazir Ahmad, was virtually on the demise mattress, crying day and evening remembering his two brothers. He was a really lively man and used to work very exhausting. On the day when Bashir and Abdul have been killed, he was not at house. In any other case, he additionally would have been killed. He was on responsibility at the moment and didn’t come again at evening.
However the terrorists thought that their id had been disclosed. They thought that Bashir and Abdul have been killed by Mushtaq Peer, so the third son Nazir Ahmad can create bother for them if he stays alive. Due to this, terrorists devised a plan to kill Nazir additionally.
There was a taxi driver in our space named Manzoor. My son Nazir all the time used his taxi when he needed to go wherever. Mushtaq Peer concerned the taxi driver within the plan to kill Nazir.
Terrorists Killed My Third Son in Chilly Blood
Sooner or later, at about four pm, Nazir got here house. He all the time used to take midday chai (namkeen tea) after returning house. He had simply completed his tea when the taxi driver Manzoor got here to our home. He mentioned one thing to my son. Nazir advised us that he was going to have dinner at a pal’s residence. He wore a brand new salvar kameez and waistcoat and left with Manzoor in his taxi.
The subsequent morning, we got here to know that Nazir had been killed by terrorists in Dolipora village, which is at a distance of about 4 kilometres from our village. Then we bought to know that taking Nazir Ahmad to Dolipora was a lure laid by the terrorists. Manzoor had been instructed to convey Nazir to the residence of Ahad Sheikh at Dolipora to have dinner there.

When Nazir Ahmad reached there, he was served dinner. However he didn’t know that terrorists have been already ready within the different room, able to kill him. When he began consuming dinner, abruptly two terrorists entered the room and began firing at him. He was killed on the spot.
This fashion, all three of my sons have been killed by the terrorists. Then the terrorists began providing justification for the killings. We have been named as mukhbir (spy). We have been named as a household which was anti-Pakistan and anti-azadi.
My spouse cried a lot after the horrifying lack of her sons that she went mad. My well being additionally grew to become very frail.
My grandchildren cried that they didn’t need to go to high school. The academics have been radicalized. Even they used to taunt my grandchildren and name them ugly names.
We misplaced all the things in society. We misplaced our sons. We have been appeared upon as lowly and small folks. We have been thought to be anti-Islam folks. Why, Anuradha ji? What hurt did we do?
However we had no human rights or some other rights. Terrorists have been the one individuals who had any rights. They may come and kill anyone.
Nobody within the media got here ahead at the moment to cry that the terrorists had snatched our human rights. Everyone knew of our devastating loss. However nobody within the media got here ahead to even condemn the terrorists. PM Modi had not taken away your media freedom. Then why didn’t you train your freedom and cry for our devastation?
We had no assist, no person to lend a shoulder in our hardship. We didn’t have cash to boost our grandchildren. I couldn’t reply their questions once they requested about their father.
The person who killed my sons has 4 kids. All his kids bought authorities jobs.
We suffered for years and years by the hands of terrorists and likewise by the hands of society. Now after the abrogation of Article 370, we really feel that the UT Administration is lastly taking the suitable steps for Kashmir. We’re experiencing freedom from terror for the primary time.
Even now, you’ve got the liberty to write down the tales of individuals like me. You have got the liberty to write down how we, the folks of Kashmir, are experiencing freedom from the terrorists for the primary time.
