Built by #Afghan governor 𝐀𝐦𝐢𝐫 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧 in 1774-1777. Probably that is the reason ‘Amira/amiran/omra/womra Kadal’ is referred to as ‘The heart of #Srinagar ’....

#Thread on Mushaal Mullick
1.
Mushaal Mullick is the wife of #terrorist turned separatist leader #YasinMalik . A #Pakistani by birth, she is often seen on SM expressing her discontent on how Indian Armed Forces are dealing with situation in #Kashmir in a rather exaggerated manner

Going through all her self-made videos, one can’t help but appreciate her ‘skills’ to turn any international day,event/birth/death #anniversary into an agenda to malign the Indian #armedforces ...

3.
If someone tells you that Mushall Mullick has uploaded a video, expect nothing else but jabber about #Indian Govt & its #Security Forces. However, it’s not very difficult to understand the reason behind her almost daily, monotonous anti-India rants

They flood social media with posts, posters, videos glorifying him, labeling him as martyr, messiah, studious , son of ‘maths teacher’ etc hiding his dirty image from locals...

3.
One who knows how #terrorism industry works in #Kashmir is also aware what really attracts young boys towards it. Mostly, they get inspired by a friend, an elder brother or an uncle who picked up arms & his job now is to recruit more for a failed cause...
