Hindus being attacked in Jammu and Kashmir

Even as the entire Indian media wept over the alleged economic blockade against Kashmir Valley, no newspaper worth it's salt has had the gumption of reporting widespread criminal attacks on minority Hindus of Jammu in Kishtwar as well Poonch town, both towns have majority Muslim population.

The attacks are well planned and led by leaders of PDP and National Conference, both of which claim to be secular when the cause is Muslim and pertains to Kashmiris. But both parties maintained criminal silence, when the issue of Hindus cropped up and hundreds of shops of Hindu community, business establishments and vehicles have been looted and burnt by muslim mobs.
None of the secular media had the gumption to mention that muslims were attacking hindus and the administration failed miserably to protect them. Even as media is busy projecting the Kashmir cause and freedom for valley it should also look into the crimes being perpetrated upon the minority Hindus in India's only muslim majority state.

A Tribute to Jammu
