Such desperately low politics also highlights the difficult choice people disillusioned by the present regime face in the next election.
There are moments in life...
The justification to extend AFSPA in Nagaland is ridiculous. There has been no incident of violence involving any militant outfits in the recent past.

The BJP, the Left and the Congress party, in a rare show of unanimity, have termed the violence during the panchayat elections a ‘murder of democracy’.
If the Speaker/Chairman chooses not to act on the accusations made in the form of a motion by a minimum number of Members of Parliament, the matter ends there.
India’s two halves have strongly disparate interests, demands and expectations. Healing those growing divisions will be the constant task of future leaders.

Ms. Ananya Bharadwaj has learnt her journalism well. From the master, Mr. Shekhar Gupta.
My observations from this cleverly worded and speciously argued article:
1. She clearly mentions that in the Chittisinghpora massacre 35 Sikh men were shot dead. But not even once does she mention that in Pahalgam, every single victim was a Hindu (the only exception being the ponywallah, a Kashmiri local who heroically resisted the terrorists).
There is a very obvious attempt to brush under the carpet the fact that the terrorists first confirmed the religion and, if Hindu, shot dead the victims. The fact that this is a clear cut case of massacre on religious lines, a hate crime, is not mentioned even once in the article.
2. The article does not even mention the role of the elected representatives of the Kashmir valley. A section of these people have been openly threatening the tourists. There are videos on the public domain which clearly show them portraying tourists as “a threat to Kashmiri culture”. Are they not responsible too?
