My land is Bleeding..........!!!

The Kashmir Valley is now ruled by separatists and hardliners because of opportunistic political parties and the appeasement policy of successive governments at the Centre. Jammu has been burning for over a month in reaction to the cancellation of the land transfer to the Amarnath shrine board. Opportunistic political parties like the PDP and the National Conference, instead of taking the rioters to task, cancelled the allotment. Why did the Centre yield to their pressure?..................The separatist leaders are behaving as though Pakistan will welcome them. They are unaware of the fact that those who had migrated to Pakistan from India decades ago are still referred to as Muhajirs. The grass that appears greener to them on the other side of the LoC is nothing but a mirage. It is a futile exercise. These leaders should channelise their energy in helping the Centre defuse the Amarnath crisis...............It's time that the volatile issue of land transfer to the Amarnath Shrine Board is brought to an end in the larger interest of the country. Politicians have already played there part and there untimely/unwisely/vote oriented interference is going to flare up the issue any further. I think now it is up to Civil society of all hues join hands to put an end to it as the situation is getting out of control and separatists can take advantage of it, which can lead to the disintegration of the state. Unity, not divisiveness, must prevail in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.....!
