Anti-India protests and clashes erupted in the main city of Srinagar in India-held Kashmir after three Kashmiri suspected separatists were killed in a gun battle with government forces, police said on Wednesday.
According to police, the fighting began overnight after Indian troops raided western Radbugh village following a tip that "militants" were hiding there.
The gunfight lasted the whole night and three suspected separatists were killed early Wednesday.
Authorities imposed curfew in the old parts of Srinagar anticipating protests and clashes opposing Indian rule as two of the deceased were natives of the city.
However, as the news of their killing spread, residents defied the restrictions and pelted stones at police forces.

@MG When we look through the prism and perspective of the oppressor, it always shape up as non issue for international community. But, when you look out from your fake castle of complacent dogma , you will find out that whole world is watching you. The more you delay in acknowledging the righteous demand of the people of occupied land, the more you are consolidating your birth in the international criminal court for all crimes. Ultimately, whatever you carrying in your mind about the current situation of JK , your final destiny is vacating our land and going back to India. Nota bene. Before vacating our place, you will have to pay for all the damages and crimes that you have committed in our land. Brace yourself for huge repayment and the settling of what you have enjoyed in occupied land.

I hope Kashmiris realize it sooner than later that such hooliganism cannot be tolerated by any country. The way to build a nation is by working hard, not be throwing stones. While there will always be instigators for such violence, the people who shall face the consequences will be the stone pelters and militants

@King If you read it right it says that "two of the deceased were natives of the city" -- that alone should open your eyes to the fact that the Kashmiris are behind their own struggle for liberation from India

Very sad scenario. Kashmir is now a seventy year old dispute. But UNO has failed to resolve it. Now it seems that all the international rules and regulations can be implemented if you are powerful and it works for you. Otherwise, helpless and weak can keep protesting against brutal force of oppressors to no avail. Some may say, 'might is right' or call it a 'jungle rule'?

@KHURRAM Good suggestion, but 'international community' plays their role immediately, if its backed up by powerful countries. Otherwise, no one cares for the weak and oppressed people anymore.
