There was recent news that Lieutenant General HS Panag is going to be transferred out of northern command. The reason that is speculated in the media is that his probe into army scam is putting lot of people under pressure. But it is interesting to note that Lieutenant General HS Panag was against troop reduction in Kashmir. I still remember his interview to the media saying we shouldn't reduce troops in Kashmir just because of some anti-national politicians request.
Northern army commander may be shifted
No troop reduction in kashmir

Hindu Killers...
Nothing fits the title more appropriately than the today's congress party. They have feasted on Hindu souls for the past six decades. Starting from ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Kashmir to killing of Hindus in Assam (all have happened during congress regimes and congress supported regimes) they have proved that they are the best Hindu killers after arabs and missionaries.
I am appalled at the media attention that Hindus are getting in Jammu for their struggle. They are conducting hunger strike in Jammu and nobody seems to bother. Of course whatever media that reports this reports them as Kashmiri Pandits and not Hindus. Plain hypocrites.
Hindus on hunger strike
JAMMU: The hunger strike of Kashmiri Pandits, demanding reorganisation of the relief department and bifurcation of the ration cards of Kashmiri migrants, entered its 7th day on Tuesday.
"The hunger strike would continue in first phase for 18 days. And then we would intensify the agitation if the government failed to come forward to meet our demands in this direction," said R K Bhat, President of Youth Wing of All India Kashmir Samaj (YWAIKS).
Six Kashmiri Pandit organisations under the banner of YWAIKS are protesting against the Congress-led government for allegedly failing to fulfill their demand of reorganisation of relief department and bifurcation of the ration cards, launch an employment package, allotment of the residential quarters to the migrants.

Hindus....forgotten in their own land
It is irony that Hindus are made refugees in their own land. None of the secular media talks about their plight. Worst these media refer them as Kashmiri Pandits and not Hindus. When will Hindus realize that they are being victimized in their own land and join together to fight against the muzzies and xtians?
These Hindus are thrown out of their land and couldn't resettle in their land for last 18 years. Would the Indian media remain mute spectator as they are doing today if Gujarati muslims weren't resettled in their land?

‘ROOTS IN Kashmir’ a frontline youth group raising awareness about the atrocities inflicted upon the Hindu minority of Kashmir has condemned the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) for not coming to the rescue of the Kashmiri Pandits. It has been almost 14 years since the formation of the NHRC; it has completely failed to address the grievances of the Pandit community, which is living in the 18th year of exile from their homeland, Kashmir.
Kashmiri Pandit children accompanied by activists and common people under the banner of ‘Roots In Kashmir’ held a silent protest at Indira Park on the eve of International Human Rights Day to bring to light the injustice being done with Kashmiri Pandits. Similar protests were organized in various parts of the country by it at places such as Delhi, Jammu, Bangalore and Pune.
To escape persecution, more than 350,000 Kashmiri Pandits had to leave their home and hearths back in the valley of which more than 50,000 refugees are still languishing in uninhabitable refugee camps in Jammu and Delhi.
“The NHRC is a phantom we only hear about but haven’t seen any evidence of. Our community has submitted memorandums, fought cases and appealed to the senior bureaucrats and officials about the situation but to no avail,” said Santosh Razdan who lives with her son in Hyderabad.
“We have lived our lives in Kashmir but it sounds like a distant dream today, all because of the negligence of the responsible authorities.” she added.
In spite of cases of serious nature pending against terrorists like Yasin Malik and Bitta Karate, they roam free and further get all support from the Indian Government; whereas the Pandits continue to live a life of refugee’s in their own country. While, Yasin Malik himself is responsible for killing hundreds of innocents in the valley mercilessly; he now claims to be a human rights activist championing the cause of so-called freedom. He has no right morally to speak on such an issue of sensitive nature in which he himself stands guilty of initiating the gun culture and bloodshed in the peaceful valley.
The NHRC and the home ministry, government of India have, in a written communication through Right To Information Act 2005, said that they don’t have any data on terrorist Bitta Karate of JKLF; while it’s a known fact that there are cases pending against him in courts. It also said that they have no information on the number of Pandits killed in the valley since 1989. Further, NHRC has failed to do justice with the community, as till date there has been no probe on the reasons behind the exodus of them.
The International Human Rights groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have deliberately failed to frame charges against Malik and other serial killers. Their biased nature is quite visible for last almost a decade. The blind attitude to the ethnic cleansing and genocide of the entire Pandit community by these agencies speaks at large of the discrimination being done with the aboriginal people of Kashmir.
‘Roots In Kashmir’ endeavors to bring to light the real culprits and murderers of innocent Kashmiris. We would like to have an answer as to what happened to our human rights?” said Amrita Kar, Volunteer of RIK.
Our demands from the government of India:
1. An enquiry commission to be set up to come out with a report on reasons of exodus of Kashmiri Pandits.
2. Capital punishment for terrorists like Bitta Karate and Yasin Malik.
3. Kashmiri Pandits be declared as Internally Displaced People (IDP’s) and thus be given the required benefits.
4. Reconstruction of desecrated and destroyed shrines.
5. All property sales after 1989 to be declared null and void.
6. Better rehabilitation of people living in inhuman camps in Jammu and Delhi.
