Just a month back killing an eleven-day-old infant in the lap of his mother in Baramulla, The Kashmiri separatists calling the practice of stone pelting as their ‘only tool of resistance against the state repression’, today killed a middle-aged civilian by smashing his head with a heavy stone in Batmaloo area in the heart o the Srinagar city. Most of the Kashmiri politicians, including those who have been providing moral and intellectual support to this anarchical form of ‘resistance’, have condemned the killing of a civilian by the unruly street demonstrators.
According to some eye witnesses and the news report, a large group of youngsters, repodetedly in age group of 20-30 years, began disrupting vehicular traffic in Batmaloo in the early morning. It is pertinent to mention that Hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani had called for a march to the UNMOGIP headquarters at Sonwar after conclusion of the Friday afternoon prayers. He had even called for a shutdown and had even urged the people not to indulge in stone pelting. Well in a war like situation its very hard to control unruly mob, and this is precisely what happened . Notwithstanding Geelani’s advice, youngsters identifying themselves with his political cause appeared at several places in Srinagar, Baramulla, Sopore and Anantnag townships and engaged in intense stone pelting.
As soon as a passenger minibus, carrying passengers to General Bus Stand of Batmaloo reached close to its destination, youngsters from a lane subjected it to heavy stone pelting. A weighty stone, thrown from a distance of five to ten yards, smashed a windshield and hit one of the commuters straight into his head. As blood began gushing out of his head and he fell unconscious, driver of the bus rushed him quickly to the nearest Hospital for medical treatment.
On finding his condition as “extremely critical”, doctors referred him to the Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) Soura but he breathed his last on his way to the other hospital .
In such a state of anarchy, We can only count how many innocent people will die or how many people will be the victims of such terrorism . It pains, It really does.

Dear
I am a kashmiri Pundit and have been long gone from kashmir for the fear of being killed by the jehadis. I am shocked how all you people stay there inspite of total collapse of law and order. I was hurt to hear today's news about the kiiling of a man , after reading your blog , trust me i became emotional . Kashmir was never like this ,it was so peaceful . Known as the paradise on earth . Today its being turned into the Hell on earth.
Shame .
Only god can save kashmir .
What a shame .
Kashmir is turned into hell.
I was watching the press conference of Mr.Geelani , i mean we must admit that this oldie has the balls to call the shots in kashmir . He knew this was condemnable and was aware what all happened but inspite of that he simply stated that some government agents are invloved who are trying to give this movement a bad name . He said and its done , People beleive him .
This can surely happen only in kashmir .
