Death Toll Rises in Jammu and Kashmir During Protests Over Separatists Death NEW DELHI Protesters clashed with the police in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, the second day of widespread unrest after a separatist militant leader was killed in a gun battle with security forces on Friday. The death toll from two days of violence rose to at least 19 on Sunday, according to a police official in Srinagar, the states summer capital, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with reporters. In addition to the protesters who were killed, a policeman died when protesters pushed the vehicle he had been driving into the Jhelum River, the police said in a statement on Sunday. The demonstrations began Saturday after security forces killed Burhan Muzaffar Wani, a young commander for the Hizbul Mujahedeen, a Kashmiri rebel group. Mr. Wani had become a prominent face of separatist sentiment in the Kashmir valley, an area at the center of an independence movement that has waned since its peak in the 1990s, at the height of an insurgency, but that has never completely disappeared. ------------------------------------------------ Kashmir unrest: Toll rises to 23, life paralysed for 3rd consecutive day Curfew continued to be imposed in Srinagar following the protest.

Pakistan calls for plebiscite in strife-torn, Indian-held Kashmir as it raises issue at UN UNITED NATIONS: With the situation in Indian occupied Kashmir sharply deteriorating, Pakistan raised the issue in the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday making a call for allowing the oppressed Kashmiri people their UN pledged right to self determination to establish peace and security in South Asia. The denial of self determination to the people of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir has resulted in some of the most atrocious human rights violations including rape, torture, arbitrary detentions, and summary executions, Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi said in a High Level Thematic Debate of the 193-member Assembly on human rights at the centre of the global agenda. It's most chilling recent example is the extra judicial killing last week of a Kashmiri leader Burhan Wani shot to death by Indian forces along with dozens of other innocent Kashmiris, the Pakistani envoy told delegates from around the world. ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Kashmir has no Oil, and those 100,000 killed by the Indian occupation forces were Muslims .... The criminal silence of the UN and the self claimed human rights champion i.e US is quite understandable. ..
Good the more dead Islamic terrorists the better, dar al-Islam can not be allowed to gain one single more inch of land on this planet.
No body gives a damn what the fascist theocratic (*)(*)(*)(*) hole where the vast majority of citizens believe the Koran should be the only source of legislation and even more hate Jews and which harbored and whose citizens support Bin Laden has to say about anything.
Kashmir looks like a third-world hell hole. There were probably at least 23 people who died last night in the US in drive-by shootings. Why should the death of 23 people in Kashmir be of concern to us? Thanks for the info though. I hope they don't start a big war because our countries can't take in anymore refugees.
So You believe that 1.6 billion Muslims are all terrorists ... That's what brainwashing by Media does to you. But you are not being hypocrite at least and are saying what you believe in.
Here we go again... Indian, Pakistani troops exchange fire in Kashmir after deadly raid September 19, 2016 Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged fire across their disputed border in Kashmir on Tuesday, two days after a deadly raid on an army base that New Delhi blamed on Pakistan-based militants.
One has to wonder, if Britain didn't separate the two people, and India and Pakistan had remained together as a federation if these wars would have occurred?
