Kashmir’s politicians, including Mehbooba Mufti and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, have urged the Centre to stop punishing innocent civilians after explosions destroyed homes of militants’ families, causing collateral damage to surrounding houses. Locals blame security forces, though no official confirmation has been given. The blasts, seen as adopting Israeli tactics, began Thursday night after the Pahalgam massacre. Hundreds have been detained. Politicians initially stayed silent but now warn that alienating innocents aids terrorist goals. Mehdi and Mattu questioned the effectiveness of such actions, emphasizing that the real sufferers are ordinary Kashmiris. The call is clear: distinguish militants from civilians to prevent worsening Kashmir’s fragile social fabric. (PC: Moneycontrol & Al Jazeera)
