Kashmiri Leader Killed, Curfew in valley
Top Kashmiri Leader Sheikh Abdul Aziz along with four others were killed by the police fire on Monday and Curfew has been imposed in Indian Administrated Kashmir. Thousands protesters were marching towards the line of control know as LOC.
The issue started when the government said it would start allotment of 40 hectares of forest land to the Amarnath Shrine Board. In return Muslims launched protests, saying that the allocation of land was aimed at altering the demographic balance in the area.
Government says that shrine board needed the land to erect huts and toilets for visiting pilgrims.
But following days of protests, the government rescinded the order, prompting Hindu groups to mount violent protests of their own.
About 20 people - Muslims and Hindus - have been killed and hundreds wounded in clashes with police since the unrest began.Posted by itsabc1 at 9:48 PM 0 comments
