In Kashmir they shoot, elsewhere they save

This refers to the use of brute force and indiscriminate firing on the protesters in Kashmir valley. It is quite ironic to see the approach of security forces while dealing with the protesters at two different places. A person from Delhi is valuable but a poor Kashmiri has no value in the so-called largest democracy. Just look at the protests in Punjab over the Vienna issue. The protesters turned extremely violent. They burnt down the A/C sleeper buses, damaged the trains and totally halted the means of life and communication. But bullets were not showered upon them. Alas!  A Kashmiri demands freedom, India supplies bullets. It is not for the first time that killings are happening in Kashmir, the indiscriminate firing and brute force is being repeatedly used against oppressed Kashmiris.  We have seen this during the Amarnath land row and subsequent economic blockade. The rioters in Jammu blocked essentials to Kashmir, they threw petrol bombs on Kashmiris, but they were not dealt with bullets. They were given free hand to kill Kashmiris. In fact the security forces facilitated the rioters for economic blockade. This speaks of the real face of world's so-called largest democracy.
