Dear All
I am writting this appeal to you to atleast show your solidarity with the people of Kashmir who are being starved to death due to the blockade of the only road link to India by the Hindu fundamentalist groups at Jammu and who are allegedly attacking the Muslims of the Jammu region. what you can do is atleast create a public opinion that economic blockade will kill the people and also it can create lots of hatred in minds. All Supplies have been stopped to Kashmir. 


the situation here on ground is that essential commodities have started getting dried up, diesel is already out of stock and petrol at its verge of end. the people here are very much concerned as if the same continues for next few days their will be nothing left to eat with the people of Kashmir. and on the other side the Army is supporting the mobs who have allegedly beaten up the drivers stranded on the national highway, The drivers who were beaten up reported that they asked army to help them but all went in despair and the army people in return handed them over to the mobs.
the target is only the kashmiri muslims and the muslims of Jammu and some sources from jammu say that it is the outsiders who have come to jammu and are doing such attacks on the muslims and it is quite evident that the Hindu fundamentalist groups viz. BJP, RSS VHP etc are all sponsoring the planned attacks onto the kashmiris like it was done in Gujarat.
The petrol bombs are being hurled onto the Trucks  and some drivers are seriously injured/burnt and a few have been shifted to AIIMS Delhi for medicare.

The Fruit growers association has decided to use the alternative road link which links kashmir to the Muzzafarabad (Pak Administered Kashmir) which is the natural route for the kashmir. so that the fruit worth crores will not get perished and is sold in time to get its prize.
here in kashmir we feel the history seems to be being repeated by the hindu fundamentalists who had earlier in 1947 killed about 250000 muslims in Jammu (organised killing by Praja Parishad) which became the cause of the Tribal raids.
