DO NOT ignite fire of communalism again.

DO NOT ignite fire of communalism again.

 

Some people always oppose everyone from Maharaja Gulab Singh to Hari Singh, but want that State which they established. Their main agenda is to fabricate facts, tell lies to mislead and confuse nationalists of Jammu and Kashmir, hence serve the interests of Islamic Pakistan.

 

The new issue is 6 November and 22 October 1947, even though both events are totally different.

 

On 22 October Pakistan violated a written agreement, and attacked a neighbouring country to occupy it. As a direct result of this military adventure Jammu and Kashmir was forcibly divided, and we are still suffering on both sides of the divide since 1947.

 

On 6 November 1947, there were riots in Jammu, which many claim was a ‘revenge’ of what Pakistan and Muslims did after 22 October 1947. In riots, people from both sides are killed. In the case of Jammu city and adjacent areas Muslims were in a minority, and more Muslims were killed than non-Muslims.

 

It must be noted that riots in Jammu started in the third week of August 1947, when Non-Muslims uprooted from the Pakistani Punjab (Sialokot and adjacent areas) reached Jammu; and the majority community took ‘revenge’ of what Muslims of Pakistani Punjab did to their co-religionists.

 

These riots were controlled to a large extent, but the fire started by Pakistan and some collaborators on 22 October reignited the riots in Jammu.

 

I do not condone any riots or killing of innocent people. I strongly condemn it, but please DO NOT ignite fire of communalism again.
