Kashmir on boil.. As injured from Ramban were rushed to various hospitals in Kashmir, a reporter frm kashmir dispatc Ieshan Wani spoke to two witnesses, who were wounded, in the gory firing, and are being treated at SMHS hospital. Excerpts: IW: Not many clear details are pouring in about the incident.. NA: The BSF personnel picked up Quran and ripped them off and threw them under their feet. With their boots on theycreated havoc inside the Quranic School late night at 10:45 pm. The caretaker of the school was reading Quran when he was beaten up and mercilessly dragged outside. Then when the news reached the people they could not tolerate this, it was painful to even hear it. People gathered to protest against this highhandedness of BSF which is in the area to protect the railway lines. It was shocking that they started to fire indiscriminately at the crowds of people without any consideration. The public had assembled and there was sloganeering going on and it was not tolerable for Muslims, but there was no violent instigation or anything from people’s side. After sloganeering, they sat down peacefully outside of the BSF camp, and then they started firing at the people. The police was present in huge numbers, we were terrified to see their numbers and they are equally responsible for the blood bath. The police knew from the beginning that the locals want the BSF sittingin those quarters guarding the railway lines must leave the area. If they have done this to our Holy Quran, we (locals) will never let them stay in our area. Police responded to us by saying that ‘BSF has left the area’. This happened before some of the people wanted to go to the BSF quarters to check if they really have left and in retaliation the BSF opened fire indiscriminately on them and then on all of the others. I was one of the people heading towards the BSF bunker outside the quarter and the BSF personnel started to shoot at me, I ducked down and the person behind me received a bullet in his abdomen. As much as I could see, there were four BSFmen outside and a whole contingent inside the barracks. The local police did not do anything, they looked on while wewere being beaten and killed... #arIi
