2 ultras caught after Azad's
Nov 10th call for 1965-type mass action
People capture
Pak militant for Kupwara Police
From Ahmed Ali
Fayyaz
SRINAGAR, Nov 16: Six years ago, a
dare-devil Gujjar in the Pir Panjal
foothills of Kund, Kulgam, sliced a
militant into pieces with his axe. His
younger brother, later engaged as SPO,
became the victim of a militant strike
near Yaripora last month. Three years
ago, an auto-rickshaw driver of Sonwar,
handed over a Pakistani militant of a
Jehadi organisation to Army, a day after
militants caused havoc in a fidayeen
strike on a paramilitary camp at Indira
Nagar. Again last month, the 'brave man'
was kidnapped and shot dead by militants.
This doesn't really stop ordinary
civilians from capturing a militant and
handing him over to Police or security
forces even as the situation can, by no
means, be compared to that of 1965 when
the people of Kashmir had captured
hundreds of Pakistani 'Mujahideen' and
handed them over to authorities......more
