Better ways
After Geelani's hartal call, now it is turn of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. When Mirwaiz himself accepted that his father was killed by our "own men", then against whom is he calling for a shutdown or is he protesting to his "Own men" for killing Mirwaiz Molvi Farooq? The other reason for Mirwaiz to call for a shutdown could be to make sure that more and more people gather at Eidgah and he will have an opportunity to show his strength to his rivals. Why our each and every action starts at hartal and ends at hartal? Is there no other better way to pay homage to the people whom we have lost in this conflict? We can conclude that our so called leaders have run short of options. Mirwaiz Molvi Farooq was indeed a man of peace and he laid his life in a quest to achieve peace when Kashmir was virtually up in flames.
