While I support action against terrorism, I hope the police are ensuring due process and not targeting innocent people. The UAPA is a powerful law that needs to be used carefully to maintain public trust.

Finally some concrete action! These terror handlers have been operating with impunity for too long. The common people of Kashmir want peace and development, not violence and instability.

Hope this leads to lasting peace in the region. The youth of Kashmir deserve better opportunities than getting caught in this cycle of violence. Education and employment are the real solutions.
