At a time when common man in Kashmir had started to believe that things are back on track, some egotistic people just for the sake of their so called votebank exploited an issue which in real sense was not there. History reveales that in any nation when common people are deprived of from their basic rights people have agitated to get these rights due to them. I dont mean the right of self determination, but the basic right for living a sustained life with minimu needs like bread, clothes & shelter. Few months back common people in J&K were not aware of any land proposed to be used by amarnath yatris because people knew that over the years the land is being used freely by yatris. So when yatris are using all the facilities provided by the government, for which people have no objection then where is the issue. People have always welcomed yatris & other tourists to the valley because this process generates not only livlihood for many people in that area but at the same time shows remarkable communal harmony which any nation can envy. It was very unfortunate that seeing that election in the state was near, few narcissistic politicians wanted to have issue to play with. In Kashmir it was PDP & in Jammu it was BJP who wanted to get maximum out of the land issue. But perhaps none of them had ever anticipated that the issue can take such a vicious turn which has now reached almost to a point of no return. So when there have been so many killings in the state during last two months where are these leaders now. What do these parties have now to give to the people. If there is still some good sense prevailing on these parties/leaders they should go to the people to seek forgiveness.
