In the last three decades, J&K has had either a NC or a PDP Governments.The two parties have taken turns in killing, maiming, jailing and humiliating people of J&K. Now, they have the audacity to project themselves as the victims where as in reality they have all along been the ones creating victims out of People of J&K”, but they must understand They can no longer mislead & befool the people of J&K.
