It's a political crisis left unsolved: J-K student
Srinagar: The state government is pulling out all stops to ensure strict enforcement of curfew. Anantnag, Koimoh, Pulwama and Kakpora have been under curfew for last four days now. The Army is on standby and may conduct another flag march in Srinagar on Friday.
Meanwhile, the Central government is sending in additional paramilitary troops. The first batch of additional CRPF jawans are expected to reach here Friday.
However, top sources in the Home Ministry told CNN-IBN on Thursday that intelligence intercepts of conversations between some individuals point to the hand of hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani's Hurriyat in instigating the recent violence in the Valley. With the presence of the Army for past three days, situation is peaceful by and large with no untoward incident reported on Thursday though some areas in Baramullah saw minor protests. But the gag on media still continues.
CNN-IBN's Senior Editor Anubha Bhonsle spoke to some Kashmiri students to find out their opinion on the ongoing crisis in the Valley.
Anubha: How have we reached this particular situation where there is curfew now in majority of the Valley?
Student: It was mainly because at that time the situation was not handled. The CM claims that he is a CM chosen by people, that means in a democracy he is CM by the people and for the people. He should have been on the roads, why are they fighting, why are they crying? In fact, I should say he should have apologised and assured us 'OK, we will take steps'. He should have given chances to protest, to take out peaceful marches.
Anubha: But the state government's point of view is that what do you expect security forces to do when people are pelting stones?
Student: I don't think that when you pelt stones the answer to that lies in hitting the person with bullet. It happens nowhere in a democratic set up like India. When there was Bharat Bandh, many people pelted stones and damaged public property but but did you see anybody being over there? It doesn't happen anywhere else than in Kashmir.
Anubha: Do you believe the government, if acts on developments, will be fulfilling the needs of the people?
Student: What government are you talking about? It's not government, it's just two parties both equally corrupt. It's not a government of the Kashmiri people.
Even if there are 15 deaths in the Valley, the fact is that not even a single death has been investigated. There is no procedure, we want results. It's not a governance crisis, it's a political crisis since 1947 left unsolved.
