| Naya Kashmir: In Yasin Malik’s Maisuma, children play cricket with policemen | | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, May 29: In yet another major setback to the dying separatist politics in Kashmir, the kids living in native locality of terror convict Yasin Malik were seen playing cricket with the policemen soon after he was given the life sentence.
A photo, which has gone viral on the social media, shows policemen playing cricket with the kids of the locality as some of the shops were observing shutdown after Malik was convicted by a special court in the national capital.
The picture shows a police officer batting while kids do bowling on the street, which had remained infamous for the anti-India sentiment in the past.
As per the witnesses, the cricket matches continued throughout the day with the children feeling thrilled to play with the cops on duty.
Maisuma, till some two years ago used to be seen as bastion of “anti India sentiment where more stone pelting would take place than business days being observed.”
The abrogation of the so-called special status of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019 seems to have brought the sea change.
