Red terror in Kashmir. Killing of Kashmiris by China backed and funded Pakistani
terrorists/army. a colossal failure of Law makers and executive;
Since
1990, planned and organized China-Pakistan funded, created terrorism has
brutalized Kashmir, the valley of peace and exquisite beauty. Systematic
efforts have been made to destroy its syncretic culture, traditions, and
heritage, by an orgy of mindless violence fueled by Chinese / communist desire
of economic benefits and control of Kashmir/ kashmiris and kashmeriat by China.
Red
Terrorism has taken the lives of more than 2000 innocent men, women and
children;
the terrorists have indulged wantonly in abduction, rape, murder, arson,
extortion and looting. Government officials, political leaders and workers,
members of judiciary, print and electronic presspersons, and prominent citizens
have been threatened, attacked and killed. Religious "codes of
conduct" have been imposed on common people, and there has been large
scale destruction of public and private property including over 400 secular
state schools. More than 350,000 kashmiris of particual community have had to
flee their homes in the valley and today live as refugees in other parts of
their own state and country. This is the "accomplishment" of the Communist
funded, supported and created proxy-war in Kashmir.
The
illustrations below give a glimpse of this unfortunate chapter of violence and
destruction in the modern history of Kashmir. It is this calculated and
ruthless racial extermination of innocent Kashmiris, created, funded and
supported by Communist China in its unholy desire to own and control Kashmir,
kashmiris and Kashmiriat culmination in ultimate negation of the human rights
of any people.
Name: Tej
Krishen Razdan (Age: 30s)
Resident of: Yachgam (District Budgam) Profession: Central Govt. Service Date of Killing: 12.2.1990
Razdan was posted somewhere in
Punjab. He had come to Srinagar on leave to see his family. An old colleague
of his - a Muslim - who had been working with him while he was in Kashmir -
came to pay a visit on the fateful day. Both of them boarded a mini-bus bound
for Lal Chowk. When the matador (mini van) halted at Gao Kadal, Razdan's
companion suddenly took out a pistol and shot him in the chest. Not content,
he dragged the still breathing Razdan out of the vehicle and ordered other
passengers to kick the dying man repeatedly. His body was then dragged
through the street like sweepers drag a dead dog. Taken to the nearest
mosque, the dead body was put on display for hours before the police came to
take control of the body.

Name:
Ashok Kumar Qazi (Age: 30s)
Resident of: Shashyar, Srinagar Profession: Worked in the Handicrafts Deptt Date of Killing: 24.2.1990
A group of three terrorists accosted
him on the fateful day in Zaindar Mohalla locality while he was going for
shopping. They shot him on the knuckles. He fell down and cried in agony for
help. None among the passers by or the shopkeepers responded. They just
looked the other way despite the fact that they knew the man as he belonged
to their locality and was an energetic social worker. In their sadistic
frenzy, the three murderes tarted a death dance around the helpless Qazi.
Theyy pulled his hair out. They slapped him continuously and they spat on his
face. One of them even unfastened his trousers and urinated on him. Dying and
profusely bleeding, the militants did not kill him immediately but enjoyed
the writhing and twitching of his body. They wanted him to die by inches. The
siren of a distant police van, however, mercifully ended his agony as, in
panic, the terrorists pumped bullets into his stomach and chest leaving his
dead body on the frozen road.

Name:
Navin Saproo (Age:30s)
Resident of: Habba Kadal, Srinagar Profession:Central Govt. Service Date of Killing: 27.2.1990
He was returning from his office
when, near Kanya Kadal, terrorists sprayed him with bullets in broad
day-light and in full view of the passersby; he fell down but was still
breathing. A Hindu woman, who happened to be there, frantically pleaded with
the terrorists to spare the young man's life. She was pushed back. Dancing
around him in glee, they shot at him over and over again avoiding any vital
organ just to prolong his agony bleeding profusely. For the terrorists, the
sadism was yet to come. As the wailing relatives of the young man took away
his body in a police van - yes in a police van - the terrorists followed in a
truck right up to the cremation ground, dancing and singing all the way. The
singing and dancing continued till his body was reduced to ashes.

Resident of: Chota Bazar, Srinagar Profession: Central Govt. Service Date of Killing: 22.3.1990
Ganjoo, a telecom engineer, was
coming home during the curfew relaxation period. He never suspected that he
was being followed by the terrorists as he had no reason to be a suspect.
When he reached the vicinity of his house, his wife, however, observed that
he was being pursued. As Ganjoo entered his house, she quickly bolted and
locked the door. But the terrorists were undeterred and crashed through. The
pursued man ran up to the third floor of his house and hid himself in a rice
bin. The terrorists ransacked the entire house and were ready to leave as
they could not locate their victim. But the fate willed otherwise. Ganjoo's
muslim neighbors, who had seen Ganjoo hide himself in the bin, called the
militants back and pointed towards the container. Out they pulled him, pumped
him with bullets and left him bleeding on the rice. While leaving, they
shouted, "Let your blood be soaked in the rice and let your children eat
it. Ah, what a tasty meal it would be".

earlier. While he was busy, a group of terrorists gate-crashed into his
house. Seeing them, the aged mother of Raina implored them to spare the life
of his son as he was about to be married. "They could kill her instead
if kill they must", she pleaded. But they would not listen to her. With
a sharp pointed iron rod, they pierced his skull. They dragged him out and
nailed him to a tree after stripping off his clothes. They killed him by
inches while he begged to be shot.

Name:
Sarwanand Kaul Premi (Age: 64 years), Virender Kaul (Age: 27 years) - Son
Resident of: Soaf Shali, District Anantnag Profession: Retired Teacher, Central Govt. Service respectively Date of Killing: 30.4.1990 
Sarwanand Kaul Premi
Premi was a well-known
Kashmiri poet and a scholar. Even though his family requested him to leave
the village in view of the mounting terrorist activities and unabated
killings of his community members, he refused, believing in the "secular
traditions" of his beloved Kashmiri. He was deeply religious and also
deeply liberal. He thought he was respected widely in the area predominated
by the Muslims. And this faith was ultimately shattered when in the evening
of 29th April, three terrorists entered his house and ordered the entire
family to collect in one room. The terrorists ordered that they should
collect all their valuable - gold, jewelery, cash, pashmina garments, saris,
shawls etc. - in the room. The other gold women and the men were wearing was
torn off their bodies. Packing all these in an emptied suitcase, they asked
the frail and soft-spoken Premi to carry the suitcase and follow them.
"We mean no harm to him and he will return", the terrorists told
the wailing and weeping family members. Then fate intervened and Virender
Kaul, his son, volunteered to accompany his father so that he could lead the
old man back in the dark night. "Come on you too, if you so
desire", they told Virender. Both, the father and the son, were herded
out of the house.
What followed would put to shame even
Hitler's secret agents. When the dead bodies were found after two days, the
scene was apalling and nauseating. The place in between the eyebrows, where
Premi used to apply the sandal wood mark commonly known as "Tilak"
was found pierced by an iron and skin peeled off. The entire body bore the
marks of cigarette burns. The limbs were found broken and eyes of both father
and the son gouged out. They were later hanged and to be doubly sure shot
too.
This, to a man, in whose house a rare
manuscript of the holy Quran was found placed with reverence in his prayer
room.

waited with the security forces guarding him, his family and other relatives
who had come from Jammu after hearing the news of kidnapping of Mr. Saroop.
On 26th June, police told them that it was futile to wait as there was no
chance of his recovery dead or alive. Accompanied by a posse of security men,
the family was despatched in a vehicle to Jammu. Raina accompanied them up to
Qazigund leaving behind his wife and two children in his native village. After
the other members of the family were safely despatched, he returned to
Anantnag and then to his village in spite of the warning of the police that
there was danger and he also should move to Jammu. But he could not do so,
for he had left his family at Dambeloo. Just a kilometer from his home, the
vehicle was ambushed by terrorists and Raina was one of the three victims. So
within a span of 23 days, two members of the family - father and son - fell
victims to the terrorists. The father had already lost another son two years
ago.
