Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh, USA, strongly condemns the latest gruesome
massacre of 36 Hindus in Doda and Udhampur in Jammu and Kashmir
(J&K) on May, 2nd, 2006.
The brutal killings of innocent minority civilians - Hindus -
who were lined up and gunned down in cold blood was one of the worst
terrorist activities of recent times perpetrated by Islamic
extremists who victimize peaceful people. Our hearts go out to the
families of innocent victims and we appeal to the state and central
governments to apprehend the culprits and bring them to justice in a
speedy manner.
This incident is yet another example of the
barbaric tactics of ethnic cleansing of Hindus in the state of J&K
that started in 1980s. This has resulted in the uprooting of more than
three hundred thousand Kashmiri Pandits from their homes of countless
generations. The murder of thousands of innocent civilians that
has continued since then, including the present massacre, is also a
glaring example as to how miserably the central and state governments
have failed to live up to the lawful obligation of protecting the life
and welfare of the minority Hindu populations in the state of Jammu and
Kashmir. It is about time that the govenments marshal all the
resources at their command to eliminate the unlawful elements that are
in the business of terrorizing innocent civilians and ensure the safety
and welfare of the society.
