How long?
On Monday, the Valley was soaked in blood again. Police killed four more civilians in Pattan areas of north Kashmir. It seems that the trigger-happy cops are yet to learn a lesson even after killing 69 civilians in the past two months. Where it the government? Does it have any say? Is anybody listening ? The Law Minister, Ali Muhammad Sagar was right when he said that the CRPF and Police were not listening to the government. The Head of the State and his team of ministers have lost the moral ground to rule the state. If they are not able to protect the citizens, who voted them to power, they have no right to hold the chair.
