Looting of weapons

Sir,
Looting/snatching of weapons of police personnel by militiants on various guards and duties has posed a serious threat to the security forces and administration. This is not the first case but it has become a source of weapons for militants. Militants with the help of these huge weapons and ammunition may attack the security forces and Govt machinery involved in anti militancy operations. This is clear indication that militants have fallen short of weaponry particularly for newly recruited youths in militancy. Weapon looting/snatching by the militants and desertion of police personnel with weapons have become a trend to boost militancy in the valley. The looted weapons are being used against the security forces and to target the politicians and mainstream leaders. This is a major setback to the forces deployed in the valley to deal with law and order situation and also hampering the search and cordon operations. J&K Police personnel deployed for various guard duties in small groups particularly for security of VIPs, MLAs, MPs and civil dignitaries should not be left at the disposal of that VIP only. Time has come to evolve a comprehensive policy to counter such acts of militants. Kashmir centric politicians have never condemned such anti national and seditious acts of militants and their over ground workers, instead they spare no time to blame the State and Central Govt for the unrest and militants actions. Dirty politics is being played in the Kashmir valley which have never been witnessed in the history. If the politicians and Hurriyat leaders have any sympathy with the kashmiris they should act against the Pakistan sponsored terrorism. Militancy is man made and not made by God or any other element. It can be eradicated if the kashmiri centric politicians and general public of valley truly want to get rid of this problem.
The political leaders and stakeholders should address the general public by way of conducting rallies and counseling the youth of the valley in right perspective showing them the right path which leads to their bright future and peace. If youth of the valley shun the path of violence and join hands with Govt for alround development of the state, there would be no requirement of bullet, pallet guns or using any type of force on the general public including enforcement of Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA). Kashmir will see a new dawn of peace and prosperity subject to involvement of every Kashmiri in the peace process.
