Wrong to Target Kashmiris and Muslims, Justice Needed..

Karnal : It is crucial to address the ongoing tensions and misconceptions surrounding the Kashmiri and Muslim communities, especially in the context of rising violence. The narrative that paints all Kashmiris or Muslims as perpetrators of violence is both misleading and harmful. It is essential to recognize that not all individuals from these communities are responsible for the actions of a few extremists. The targeting of innocent individuals based on their ethnicity or religion is unjust and counterproductive to peace and unity in the region.

In the context of terrorism and violence, it is essential to distinguish between the perpetrators and the general public. The terrorists responsible for acts of violence must be held accountable for their actions. However, it is equally important to ensure that innocent civilians, including Kashmiris and Muslims, are not unfairly stereotyped or stigmatized. Generalizing entire communities based on the actions of a few individuals can lead to increased polarization and unrest.

Terrorists who engage in violent activities should face the full force of the law. Their actions should be condemned, and they must be prosecuted and punished according to the law. It is only through fair and just legal proceedings that the cycle of violence can be broken. Ensuring that terrorism is punished without prejudice will help restore faith in the justice system and promote a sense of security among the general public.

The broader message is clear: while terrorism should never be condoned, blaming an entire community for the actions of a few individuals is not the solution. All communities, including Kashmiris and Muslims, deserve to live free from discrimination and fear. As a society, we must work together to promote understanding, tolerance, and peace, ensuring that justice is served to the perpetrators without negatively affecting the innocent people who happen to share their background.
