Kashmir in news in 2017

Mumbai: The main trigger for the violence in 2017 in Kashmir is the ‘Burhan aftermath’ – a series of violent protests in the Valley after the killing of Burhan Wani, militant commander of the Kashmir-based terrorist organization Hizbul Mujahideen by Indian security forces on 8 July 2016.




The year 2017 has therefore been christened as ‘The Year of Kashmir’ by terrorist organization Jamaat–ud-Dawa (JuD), earlier Lashkar-e-Taiba and now called Tehreek Azadi Jammu and Kashmir (TAJK). The declaration is a clear indication of the surge of militancy in Kashmir in the days to come…..
