The targeted killing of minorities, migrant workers and employees from other states in Kashmir has led to migration to safer places.\u00a0 The situation is akin to the 1990s, when there was a mass exodus from the Valley.\u00a0This is a national humiliation and comes days after the present government celebrated eight years in power as a tenure that did not allow Indians to hang their heads in shame. And mind it, it\u2019s not only what is being called ethnic cleansing by fringe elements in Kashmir that has caused embarrassment for us all.\u00a0 A simultaneous storm has been created by two spokespersons of the ruling party because of their despairing and uncalled comments about the Prophet of Islam.<\/p>\n
Our Cover Story, \u201cKashmir Conundrum: \u00a0Is a fresh Kashmiri Pandit exodus in the works?\u201d by Riyaz Wani, Tehelka\u2019s Srinagar based Special Correspondent, is a ground zero report from the Valley. Our other important story by Lucknow based Special Correspondent Mudit Mathur who wrote that \u201ccommunal riots broke out in the Kanpur district of the Uttar Pradesh at a time when President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Governor Anandi Ben Patel and chief minister Yogi Adityanath were present in a function in Kanpur (Rural), which is less than 100 kilometres away from the violence spot\u201d. It coincided with the state capital hosting a mega ground breaking ceremony to attract investments with top Industrialists claiming a congenial atmosphere after it had bulldozed crime and criminals. We can\u2019t afford to keep the country on the boil.<\/p>\n
The anger in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries or back home was pulpable against the now suspended BJP national spokesperson, and expelled Delhi media cell head for denigrating Islam and its prophet.\u00a0 This happened when the Vice President Venkaiah Naidu was in Qatar and its Deputy Emir abruptly cancelled the official lunch for the visiting Indian Vice President and summoned the Indian envoy, seeking a public apology. It may be noted that the\u00a0GCC countries are important not just for the trade worth $87 billion but also for the opportunities they offer to Indian expats.<\/p>\n
While the Arab outrage is a wake-up call for us to weed out hatred that has seeped into our midst, the situation in Kashmir calls for all the stake – holders to consolidate the gains of peace rather than allowing the fringe radical groups to push them again to the sordid period of insurgency. \u00a0\u00a0The task at hand is onerous because hardliners have now turned all the more radicalised and the modus operandi of these perverted elements is to shoot-and-scoot, with the avowed aim of \u00a0killing some and terrorising thousands.\u00a0 With the upcoming Amarnath Yatra from June 30 to August 11,\u00a0 there is an all the more need to rework the security requirements to dissipate the sense of fear and anxiety.<\/p>\n
