Recently there has been great activity in the Jammu & Kashmir sector, after the hostage rescue operation of the joint team of J&K police and Indian Army in which 5 of the Indian soldiers and police officer sacrificed their live in that hostage rescue, just day after that petrol convoy of the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) was attacked and 3 soldiers were martyred in the exchange of gun fire, Indian army started the search operation in the Handwara area, most wanted Hizub Mujahideen ‘Operational Chief’ terrorist Riyaz Naikoo was killed by the Security forces. Instead of condemning the deeds done by the Hizbul Terrorist many wester news agencies started telling background story of the terrorist and started projecting him a situational victim.
There were captions used by the big
and news agency, which show a very soft corner of the terrorist ignoring that
he is the same person responsible for killing thousands of innocent people,
some of them given below: -

actually tell who Riyaz Naikoo.

Below
is Huffman post covering the story of the Hizbul terrorist Riyaz Niakoo, trying
to humanise him in every way possible: -

But
the question that any rational person will ask is why are these news agencies
are going this? There are many reasons to this the most probable is that answer
is ‘propaganda’. These news channel in the name of human rights, knowingly
focus only on the aspect of a person which show the concern person in a very
good light, and neglect the very basic reason of why he was shoot dead, the
reason of killing thousands of innocent person while acting as a chief operative
of Hizbul.
These
writers of the article, show that the concerned terrorist was trying to bring
order in the life of his community or state or region or religion and that the
rest of the world is chaotic trying to pull the person down and thus the concern
person turned to terrorism.
Question
that need to ask here is: -
Was terrorism only way left to that
person to bring change to his life/community/region?
And
here is the turf, that all these articles sympathetic to terrorist fails. Take for
example the case of Riyaz Naikoo. Many news agencies call him “Math Teacher
turn terrorist” and explain the process of how he was kind to his people and
student and all sort of humane work he did in his youth before joining the Hizbul.
Coming back to the question of
alternative that youth of Kashmir have to improve the condition of their state.
The most viable option seen in this case was political activation not terrorism.
But the same politicians who sympathise with these terrorist don’t give youth breathing
space to grow in politics.
There are many militant organisations
working in Kashmir who have their ultimate goal to merge Kashmir to Pakistan. Thus,
it is hard to believe that these organisations do not get Pak support either
overtly or covertly.
Hizbul
is one such organisation which have aim to merge Kashmir into Pakistan and is
working to achieve the aim via armed confrontation. One thing that they must
have understood by now is that their method hasn’t gave proportionate result. And
to a great surprise all the scholars who have sympathy with these terrorists do
not tell them that mode of their struggle is not giving them high yield.
The head of state of Islamic world says
that world has turn into Islamophobic phenomenon and play victim card to
justify their struggle against their respective enemy. And justify that arm
struggle is the only method that will emancipate their country. But they forget
a very basic fact the fact that M.K. Gandhi taught this world 100 years ago. That
time also Gandhi was facing a challenger which have world empire and very hand-line to promote their school of thoughts. Still India emerge out of that
repressive regime and showed that with proper negotiation and political direction
independence can be achieved in a way better than terrorism.
If people can’t say and express
their true feeling via writing then is it not a violation of ‘Right of
expression and Speech’?
To this I would say school, college
should be free to discuss any kind of idea no matter how much radical the idea
is, but giving clear-cut clean chit to a terrorist by a media house in no way a
correct way to exercise the fundamental right of free speech and expression.In the end people of Kashmir should understand that terrorism have given them nothing except - Army action - police action - economic gloom - unemployment - radicalisation - and above all sorrow.
