Why Are People Protesting?
Kashmir is witnessing targeted killings of civilians, and the victims include members of the Kashmiri Pandit community, Hindu migrants and government officials.
Vijay Kumar Beniwal, a bank manager, was shot dead by terrorists on Thursday, June 2, in the Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir. Another victim was Rajni Bala, a 36-year-old-teacher from Jammu's Samba district. She was shot dead by terrorists at a government school in Gopalpora, Kulgam.
Two civilians – including Kashmiri Pandit employee Rahul Bhat – and three off-duty policemen were killed by terrorists last month in Kashmir.
Central Government Faces Backlash
The BJP-led central government is facing backlash and criticism from opposition parties over the recent targeted killings in the Kashmir, which has, in turn, triggered another round of exits from the valley.
Chattisgarh Chief Minister, Bhupesh Baghel, took a jab at the Centre and said that despite the strategy adopted by the Centre, the problem persists even now and that the method to solve it "has been unsuccessful."
He said, "Earlier Kashmiri Pandits were killed, and now Hindus(migrants) are getting killed. Whatever strategy you (Centre) have adopted, the problem still exists even after that. The method used to solve the problem has been unsuccessful."
