Unfortunately, secularism seems to be one way street. Yet another sad story of those Kashmiri pandits.
Elderly couple set themselves on fire after losing land
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Hundred acres of land near the Amarnath shrine had entire Jammu and Kashmir state burning last month. And on Thursday, an elderly Kashmiri migrant couple set themselves on fire after losing their 22.5 acres of land, allegedly due to encroachment.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Such instances of land encroachment are not the first for Kashmiri migrants. Recently, the state assembly even passed a bill to prevent encroachment. Organisations have even been demanding that revenue records be digitalised and posted on the web to prevent tampering. But before all that is implemented, two lives have already been lost.
The incident is another reminder of the fact that land still remains an emotional for those who left Kashmir.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
