The issue of serious human rights violations perpetrated by the Pakistan terrorists along with their cohorts in the J& K has to spread beyond our borders. The world needs to know in the changed global scenario as to what extreme ideologies supported by the State apparatus can do with the peace loving people of the conflict zones.
