Srinagar, Aug 18 Gruesome terror attack on two Kashmiri Pandit brothers Sunil Kumar Bhat and his cousin Pertimber Nath at Chotigam, a small hamlet in South Kashmir's Shopian district, triggered outrage in their village. Sunil succumbed to his injuries while Pertimber Nath (Pintu) suffered injuries.Both Sunil and Pintu were farmers. They were fired upon by terrorists when they were busy with their work at their orchard. Sunil's family was among three Kashmir Pandit families which didn't leave the Valley in 1990, when Pakistan sponsored terrorism gripped Kashmir.Terrorists carrying out target killing of Sunil Kumar Bhat pushed the Chotigam village into mourning with Muslim villagers coming out and raising slogans against the terrorists. They participated in the last rites of Sunil and bid him a tearful adieu sending a clear message to the terrorists and their sponsors that they cannot repeat 1990, when the Kashmiri Pandits were killed at the behest of Pakistan, and the members of the majority community acted as mute spectators due to the fear of guns turning towards them. Today that fear has vanished and they stand firmly with their Kashmiri Pandit brethren.CondemnationAttack evoked widespread condemnation from every section of the society. J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha while deploring the cowardly act tweeted: "Pained beyond words on despicable terror attack on civil in Shopian. My thoughts are with the family of Sunil Kumar. Praying for speedy recovery of injured. The attack deserves strongest condemnation from everyone. Terrorists responsible for barbaric act will not be spared.""I condemn the militant attack in Shopian unequivocally in which Sunil Kumar was killed & Pinto Kumar injured. My condolences to the family," Omar Abdullah, the former J&K chief minister wrote on twitter."Yet another dastardly attack by coward terrorists in Shopian. We strongly condemn this heinous act of violence. My condolences to the family," chairman of Peoples Conference and former minister Sajad Lone tweeted.Mehbooba plays politics againHowever, Peoples Democratic Party president and former J&K chief minister, Mehbooba Mufti, who has donned the mantle of separatists, instead of blaming Pakistan for the act, tactfully blamed New Delhi, in a tweet she said, "Terribly sorry to hear about the targeted killing in Shopian. Condolences to the deceased's family. GOI continues to behave like an ostrich with its head buried deep under the sand. Every resident of J&K has become cannon fodder in Delhi's quest for manufactured normalcy."Mehbooba should learn a lesson from the residents of Chotigam village who without any fear took to the streets and denounced Sunil's killing by raising slogans like "Qatal Na Haq, Na Manzoor" (killings of innocents unacceptable). They didn't blame New Delhi instead they denounced the gruesome act of terror. They raised slogans of "Naray-Takbir Allahu Akbar" during Sunil's last journey and drove home a point that Islam disapproves killings of innocents.When people from every section of the society blamed Pakistan and the terrorists sponsored by it for Sunil's killing, Mehbooba went against the tide and made an attempt to appease the terrorists and their supporters by blaming New Delhi. What an irony!It seems she is unable to read the writing on the wall that people of Kashmir don't support terrorism anymore and killings of innocents have become a source of pain for them.Murderers identified, kin arrested, property attachedSoon after the last rites of Sunil Kumar were performed, Police swung into action and identified the murderers as Al Badr terrorist Adil Ahmad Wani son of Mohammad Khalil Wani of Kutpora, Shopian and his another aide.The hunt was launched to track the killers and the input was received by the security forces regarding the presence of accused Adil Wani at his ancestral house at Kutpora in Shopian. A cordon and search operation was launched. During the search, terrorists lobbed a grenade at the search party and the accused terrorist escaped taking benefit of darkness.Later on, the security forces found a hideout in the house on the rooftop where arms and ammunition (one AK rifle along with a magazine and one pistol were found).Consequently a separate FIR No. 154/2022 U/S 307 IPC, 7/27 IA Act 16,18,19,20 ULA (P) Act was registered. Three siblings of the accused, Arif Ahmad Wani, Shabir Ahmad Wani and Touseef Ahmad Wani and their father, Mohammad Khalil Wani were arrested and process for attachment of property as proceed of terrorism was initiated Under Section 25 of UAPA, Act 1967.Anti-peace elements unhappyAfter August 5, 2019 when the Centre announced its decision to abrogate J&K's special status and bifurcated it into two Union Territories-people of Kashmir have supported every move of the government.Locals turning their backs towards terrorists and decrying their acts have left the anti-peace and anti-national elements exasperated. They are once again trying to divide the people on religious lines by carrying out the target killings of the members of the minority communities.Situation remaining calm on August 5, Independence Day celebrations passing off peacefully, people supporting Amaranth Yatra in every possible way and participating in 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign has not gone well with the terror bosses sitting across the Line of Control (LoC). They are trying to create chaos and uncertainty by directing the terrorists to kill innocents so that they can keep the pot boiling.Pakistan stands exposedNefarious acts of terrorists have exposed Pakistan to the hilt. People of Kashmir have understood that neither the neighbouring country nor the gun wielding terrorists are their friends. A common man has realized that Pakistan wants to graveyards in Kashmir to remain abuzz and Kashmiris, irrespective of their religion, are nothing more than a cannon-fodder for the terrorists and their handlers.Locals expressing anger against terror attack on Kashmiri Pandit brothers is an indication that people of the Valley are no more scared of guns, bullets and bombs and they are ready to take on the terrorists head on.The ultras, who were involved in the killings of members of the minority community in the past one year, have been neutralised and the ones who attacked Sunil and his brother too stand identified. Sooner or later their fate would be sealed. Security forces are facing a tough challenge but the human intelligence network which comprises of natives is supporting them in dismantling the terror and its eco-system. It's a matter of time before last nail will be pushed into the coffin of terrorism in Kashmir.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
