Time for Kashmiris to rise against Pakistan, its proxies: Rana

Jammu, May 31: Saying enough is enough, Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana Tuesday observed that selective killings are acts of terrorism aimed at creating disharmony, adding people of Kashmir, particularly the civil society must come out strongly and openly against Pakistan and her proxies who are responsible for such dastardly killings.
Rana hoped the people of Kashmir will come forward to restore pristine glory of the Valley that has received huge dent by the alien gun culture over the past three decades.
He strongly condemned the yet another barbaric killing of a school teacher in Chawalgam area of the Kulgam district by terrorists and said the inhuman act speaks of a sinister campaign to create fear psychosis, instability and discord between the communities in order to keep the Valley boiling. This is an attempt to scuttle the process of normalisation that has resulted in fillip to economic activities in the Valley in recent times. He said this is an uncomfortable situation for Pakistan and it’s lackeys, who are desperate to reverse the positives achieved by the security forces with the cooperation of the people. The enemies of peace are, therefore, working overtime to revert back the Valley to the dark tunnel again that has already undergone colossal damage to its culture, heritage and way of life of the people, who essentially believe in amity and brotherhood, he said.
Rana also decried the attempts of creating alibis and providing cover fire to the perpetrators of lunatic violence by disgruntled elements in terms of raking up non-issues like talks with Pakistan etc to further their political agenda. In their nefarious pursuit, they are causing much harm to Kashmir peace and normalcy. He hoped the people will see through their game plan and unequivocally raise their voice against terror ecosystem.
“Was the crime of Rajni Bala to educate young children so grave and unpardonable to warrant bullets in the chest”, Rana asked, adding that the people will not tolerate such an abuse to their glorious heritage, known the world over. He said terrorism has no place in the civilized society and exuded confidence that ultimately the monster of terror will eat up the vitals of its mentor.
Rana said such acts of dastardly violence will not deter the Nation’s resolve to uproot terrorism, punish the perpetrators and their handlers. He said terrorism is on its last leg in Kashmir and those struggling to give it a new life will perish.
The senior BJP leader conveyed his condolences to the bereaved family, prayed for peace to the departed soul and strength to all her nears and dears to bear this irreparable loss.
