For the politicians, power is much more important than their country. They never send their own children to the turmoil and urge others to rush to the turmoil and sacrifice life to promote the leader's power of creating unrest. It would be clear if you look at the life of children of self proclaimed leaders like Geelani, Mirwaiz even Abdulla etc. Are their children stone pelters? No, but the leaders regularly lionising the stone pelters and provoking them. Any where in the world stone pelting to the armed forces is considered as fundamental right of the citizen. But we are treating them with velvet gloves why????
I just don't understand what the writer is saying. When the CRPF jawans get kicked and heckled they need to keep quiet just to avert a major problem. Why don't people understand the CRPF japans also have human rights. Ms. Veenu understand our restraint is what is emboldening them. More stone pelters should be tied like this and if the situation turns worse they should be put in India's remote places where the culture, language everything is different.
People who cannot defend their own country and write articles like these should be put behind bars.

Dear Indu, Please understand. Our country is full of intellectuals. As per them, armed forces are paid to die.
I appeal all these intellectuals to send their sons to armed forces, only for a year. After that we will see their reactions.

@Shashikumar Ramadugu, You probably have not been able to capture the essence of this article. It doesn't make out any case against the army. In fact it Lambasts Omar Abdullah the ex-CM of kashmir for his irresponsible tweets.

Kashmiri's have proven to be double dealing, when you want to prove your mettle with the gun but you cant do it with a powerful army the next thing to do is to cry human rights violation. Where was human rights when thousands of pandits were killed and worse things were done to the women. Where is human rights when you kill a young army officer going for a marriage. Your own neighbor you are ready to kill for political needs. You trust these people to govern after independence. Islam propagates a totalitarian regime not democracy. Think about all these before you send young school going children to throw stones at a professional army. Shame on you terrorists and their supporters.

Mr. Sunil Kelkar... you seem to be the only person who read the complete article and understood what it said. Till I read your comment I was wondering if, like the author says, I was seeing only a part of the picture. But I guess there are still a few intelligent people who read the complete article.

You have missed the essence- the young Major who resorted to this measure averted bloodshed.
