SRINAGAR, March 19: Thousands of people marched in the streets of a southern Kashmir town on Thursday, accusing Indian police of killing a Muslim carpenter, witnesses said, in the second such incident in a month involving security forces.

“Indian troops go back, we want freedom,” the protesters shouted as they marched with the body of 35-year-old carpenter Ghulam Mohiudin Malik in the Pakharpora area of south Kashmir. Villagers accused federal police of gunning down Malik near his home on Wednesday night. Police claimed they retaliated after coming under heavy fire from militants.—Reuters

    The government’s lavish spending does not alarm the opposition politicians for they, too, are its beneficiaries.
  • The tide has turned
    The politicians may allege conspiracies by outsiders but have only their own shenanigans to blame.
