The assassinations of #MirwaizFarooq & #AbdulGhaniLone that…

Some sane leaders in #Kashmir who saw through the devilish design of #Pakistan & tried to save its people from this snake in the grass were either sidelined or worse killed in cold blood.
This includes the two most influential leaders of Kashmir #MirwaizFarooq & #AbdulGhaniLone.

What happened with them?
At 7:15 p.m. on 13 Feb 1990, #terrorists shot Lassa Kaul, 45, director of the government-run #television station as he stepped from a vehicle in front of his home.
It shook Mirwaiz Farooq, Lassa Kaul was his dear friend.
#Kashmir

Mushir-ul-Haq, Vice Chancellor of #Kashmir University, another friend of Mirwaiz Farooq was kidnapped on 6 April 1990, together with his personal secretary Abdul Gani Zargar, and their bodies were found on 10 April 1990. #murdered by #terrorists

#MirwaizFarooq was upset because the series of murders and the ineludible slippage of #Kashmiri Youth into the spiral of #Violence which made him question the direction in which the masses were being led.
#Kashmir

While secretly talking to #GeorgeFernandes #MirwaizFarooq assured that he will bring 100 boys to Delhi for talks.
He said he has to answer to God and cannot sit while his beloved #Kashmir Valley is smeared with the blood of misled #KashmiriYouth.

For his defiance to lead the generations of #Kashmir into darkness, the #HizbulMujahideen #assasinated him in his own office on May 21 ,1990.

Same day 12 years later, #AbdulGhaniLone was assassinated while attending the ceremony for #MirwaizFarooq. Lone wanted to throw #Mujahideen out of Kashmir. Don’t worry about us, look after #Pakistan, Lone replied to #Musharaf. ‘Your radicals will bite the hand that feeds them’

"If you want to free the people of #Kashmir from sentimentalism bordering on insanity, you have to speak the truth. Ex-Chairman of #Hurriyat, Prof. #AbdulGhaniBhat adds, Wherever we found an #intellectual, we ended up killing him.
"We are killing our own!“

Mairwaiz Farooq & Abdul Ghani Lone were not the only ones who had to pay with their lives for wanting peace in #Kashmir, terrorists killed anyone who talked of peace back then, including Abdul Majid Dar, Maulana Mohd Syed Masoodi, Qazi Nisar, Dr Gulam Qadir Wani

Even today the hands of #terrorists are smeared with the blood of innocent Kashmiris, be it Ajay Pandita, Wasim Bari, Babar Qadri, Bhupinder Singh or Shujaat Bukhari. The intellectuals are silenced by being terrorists to squash liberal thinking & questioning ability of #Kashmiris

#Kashmir has suffered a lot under misguided and muddled #leadership. Many intellectuals have sacrificed themselves to help Kashmir free itself from #radicals.
The best was to pay #tributes to
#martyrs is to carry forward their mission of a Kashmir free of #Pakistani #Radicals.
