| Hopes Rekindled | | |
The Jammu and Kashmir High Court ordering the reopening of Nadimarg massacre case wherein 24 Kashmiri Pandits were brutally murdered in South Kashmir’s Pulwama district in March 2003 has rekindled hopes that the families of the victims would get the justice.
Survivors of the massacre, their kith and kin for the past two decades have been complaining that in the last around two decades, successive regimes had been trying to hush-up the case.
A shocking revelation has come to fore that the accused, Zia Mustafa, of Pakistan occupied Kashmir arrested in connection with the case was not taken to the Court for hearing regularly and as a result of which the case had almost disappeared from the public gaze and the helpless Pandit community couldn’t find justice.
Zia, who was jail for many years, got killed in 2021 when security forces were taking him towards a hideout of the terrorists. The main accused in the Nadimarg massacre case not being presented in the court for so many years led to the justice getting delayed. Though Zia has got killed but the conspirators, who planned the gruesome murder of 24 innocent Kashmiri Pandits, can still be alive and they need to be brought to the book.
After the revocation of Article 370 and J&K’s transition into a Union Territory, the government has laid emphasis on undoing the wrongs that were committed during the past 30-years. Kashmiri Pandits have been the worst sufferers as they were forced to leave the Valley. They had to leave everything behind to save their lives and honours.
The 24 Kashmiri Pandits who were killed by the terrorists in 2003 at Nadimarg had not left Kashmir. They had preferred to stay back but the terror sponsors and the terrorists didn’t like it. They planned the mass murder of innocent KPs to send a message that they could do anything. Perpetrators need to be punished so that a message is sent to them that they cannot get away with everything. Reopening the Nadimarg massacre case is a good step and one hopes that the law would take its own course and justice will be done. |
