Machil calling
This refers to the column titled 'Machil calling' by Ajaz-ul-Haque. The author has rightly said that the three innocents of Nadihal Rafiabad are amongst those hundreds of Kashmiris who have been brutally killed in cold blood in various fake encounters. This sinister game of fake encounters is nothing new. This trade of blood has ruined hundreds of families so far. Killing innocents and falsely dubbing them as terrorists is not uncommon in Kashmir. Once such shocking incidents are made public, political stalwarts immediately order the probe and assure people that culprits would be punished. But every time these assurances and commitments prove to be a hoax. To justify this the Pathribal fake encounter case is enough wherein CBI has established that five army men were involved in the heinous crime but center still is not in a mood to punish them.
