Anti-India clashes erupt after troops kill 3 Kashmir rebels

2021-04-04

[AlAhram] The shootout erupted shortly after scores of counterinsurgency police and soldiers launched an operation based on a tip about the presence of murderous Moslems in Kakpora village in southern Pulwama district.

Anti-India festivities erupted between government forces and residents of a village in disputed Kashmir
Kashmir

...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
on Friday following a gunbattle in which troops killed three suspected bad boys, police and residents said.

The shootout erupted shortly after scores of counterinsurgency police and soldiers launched an operation based on a tip about the presence of murderous Moslems in Kakpora village in southern Pulwama district, Inspector General Vijay Kumar said.

Kumar said two of the three slain murderous Moslems had been involved in fatally shooting a policeman guarding the home of a local politician from India's ruling party in the region's main city on Thursday. He said troops recovered two rifles and a pistol from the site of Friday's clash, and that one of the recovered weapons had been taken by the murderous Moslems from the slain policeman.

Residents said troops used explosives to blast a civilian house during the fighting, a common anti-militancy tactic employed by Indian troops in Kashmir.

As the fighting raged, hundreds of people marched nearby in solidarity with the rebels while chanting slogans seeking the end of Indian rule over the region.

That’s one way to show faith in Allan, I s’pose — wandering near a battle is considered vaguely suicidal in non-inshallah societies.

Government forces fired shotgun pellets and tear gas at the stone-throwing protesters.

At least four civilians were maimed in the festivities, including a woman with a bullet injury in her leg.

Natural consequences of stupidity. They’re lucky they didn’t all lose an eye.

Kumar said the woman was injured in the crossfire between Indian troops and bad boys.

The Himalayan region of Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistain and is claimed by both in its entirety. Many Moslem Kashmiris support the rebel goal of uniting the territory, either under Pak rule or as an independent country.

Possibly fewer than previously, but given that returning native Kashmiris and outsiders are moving in, the rebel-supporting Muslims are being diluted.

Indian officials describe the Kashmir militancy as Pakistain-sponsored terrorism. Pakistain denies the charge, and most Kashmiris consider it a legitimate freedom struggle.

...legitimately supported by Pakistan.

Tens of thousands of civilians, rebels and government forces have been killed in the conflict.

In a surprising decision last month, India and Pakistain agreed to reaffirm their 2003 cease-fire accord that has silenced guns along the de facto frontier dividing Kashmir. However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
a crackdown by Indian forces and attacks by rebels have continued inside the Indian-held portion of Kashmir.
