Immature comments by Dr Tej Munshi
This refers to the letter “Let's save our children from becoming a canon fodder” by Dr. Tej Munshi published in G.K. With all due respect to him, it seems he has very poor knowledge of resistance and rights movement in Kashmir. Kashmiris are not fighting on the basis of separate culture and language More

Kashmir burns
India's foreign secretary Nirupama Rao actually echoed Prime Minister's speech he had in Srinagar on his recent visit. The agenda for talks does include a range of issues but all these seem to be aimed at showing the world community that all is well between the two countries vis-à-vis the vexed issue More

Brutal action
This refers to the recent police action against the peaceful students of BGSB University Rajouri. It is tragic to see these kind of actions. The students were raising there genuine demands. instead resorting to baton charging and other inhuman treatments the university authorities should have talked More

Brilliant piece
Majid Hyderi's  article about roadmap to innocent killings was an  expression of public anger  against the use of force by state machinery. The author deserves a praise in reminding government of its responsibilities of zero tolerance.  Brilliant piece of professionalism Irfan More

Revoke AFSPA
This refers to a statement by a senior army officer that AFSPA is a holy book .The law which can give license to troops to kill Kashmiris in fake encounters can not be holy. Misuse of laws like PSA, AFSPA, and Disturbed Areas Act has resulted in routine killings and arrests of innocents illegally and More

Not interfering
This refers to arguments by Shri Leela Karan in response to Geelani’s plea that the Amarnath Yatra should be restricted to 15 days. In the first place, let me remind Shri Karan that it was the Kashmiri pundits who made fervent appeals to Geelani on a number of occasions, urging him to “interfere” in More

Biased comments
This refers to the letter by Dr Tej Munshi (GK 19-06-2010). Certainly there is malice in his comments. Dr. Tej seems to be disturbed by ideology propagated by the foes of Islam and Muslims, as is evident from the letter. It is nothing but intentional and deliberate reflection of his bias. Muhammad More

Misleading prefix
I read Dr M Chalkoo's article “Demeaning docs” in GK. In this age of internet when everything is just a click away, majority of people in India still are not able to differentiate between doctors of different backgrounds. If we cannot make them aware and guide them properly, let’s not mislead and confuse More

Unrealistic statement
This refers to the statement by Gen. Jaswal where he said that AFSPA is like a "holy book" for the security forces. It is a pointless comparison. The AFSPA has given unlimited powers to the security forces to kill Kashmiris and get away with the crime. We are facing violation of human rights day in and More
