It’s a sleepless night for Kashmiri Hindus staying in the valley. Bindroo family has been a prominent Kashmiri Pandit family who stayed on even during peak of terrorism. Killing of a 70 year old man who gave medicines all these decades to the ailing Kashmiris is just bizarre.
I’ve been on phone with Hindu families in Kashmir. Some in constant fear, others in tears. Helpless. They’ve to think twice before attending funeral of Makhan Lal Bindroo who was killed by terrorists. Why can’t Govt provide safety to Kashmiri Hindus even after 32 years of exodus?
A Kashmiri Hindu friend with her toddler daughter has to travel to Kashmir tomorrow morning. Her daughter’s first visit to homeland. She calls to ask if it is safe to travel. ‘I have been never so scared. This is my first travel with ***. Isliye Itna darr lag raha hai’, she says.

This shameless collector in Chattisgarh not only abused his power but also slapped an innocent boy out on the road during pandemic and slammed his phone on the road. Not only should he be dismissed from service but there should be FIR. @bhupeshbaghel
I feel bad for the family of this collector. Imagine if this is the level of violence on the road, what kind of domestic violence will he be capable of? I hope CM Chattisgarh, DGP Chattisgarh take note and act. Need to set a precedent. Also DoPT GOI as well. @DrJitendraSingh
