Shallow, sectarian imagination can never do justice the complex fate that has befallen the Pandits and Muslims of the Valley, that only creative minds of integrity can do.

The much-anticipated J&K election could well be put off until 2024, given that the BJP still finds itself on shaky ground politically in Kashmir and may continue to buy time banking on the rhetoric of renewed militancy.

With the pilgrimage only 45 days away, Jammu and Kashmir has seen a recent spurt in suspected militant activity.

Rahul Bhat (35), who was posted in the tehsil office in Chadoora under a special employment package for Kashmiri Pandit migrants, was rushed to the premier SMHS Hospital in Srinagar but succumbed to his injuries soon after.

The policeman's death comes within 24 hours of a Kashmiri Pandit government employee, Rahul Bhat, being shot dead by terrorists in his office in Budgam district.

One terrorist was killed today in an exchange of fire with the police in Srinagar while another escaped, officials said.
