I know what a Kashmiri has gone through in the recent past including you. My heart goes out to all the Kashmiris who are battling for a normal peaceful life. With regards to your observations I do agree with you to some extent, There were cases where VIPs and other selective people were given preferences in evacuating them to safe places, and its an awful thing to do when a life is trying to stay afloat, but at the same time there were efforts made by our army to help people in distress, and I totally agree with the role played by Kashmiri youth, common man, journalist etc. who risked their life to save the fellow Kashmiris, and I have mentioned that in my blog. They are no less than hero's for me and for others. Some of my friends from Jammu were stationed all this while to help evacuate the people stuck in the floods. This is commendable and great service to humanity.<br /><br />Modi not meeting the flood victims, I don't know why, to be very frank. he might have had his own issues to deal and to take care off I think.<br /><br />I wish you and all the Kashmiris the best, and I hope with their effort and gods grace everything will be fine very soon. We all want to witness the Paradise again and that too very soon, god willing it will.Samuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587537295127713968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287537482045880675.post-48878870738652300232014-11-02T21:43:39.548-08:002014-11-02T21:43:39.548-08:00Yes I hope for the same.Yes I hope for the same.Samuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587537295127713968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287537482045880675.post-68410871739007397822014-11-02T09:50:40.854-08:002014-11-02T09:50:40.854-08:00Thanks Sameer for empathising with a common kashmi...Thanks Sameer for empathising with a common kashmiri. I myself witnessed the flood havoc , truly the warth of mother nature. Life is now limping bak to normal by grace of God.I take this opportunity to share few facts which unfortunately were fabricated by media and the people outside kashmir obviously see the picture that media shows them.<br />1. Role of Army : We were happy to see Army helicopters adjacent to our house as we were struggling on the second story of our 19 ft water logged house.It pained to see them selectively rescue VIP's and tourists only.And the media glorified the Army's efforts. Kudos to kashmiri youth for saving thousands of lives irrespective of meagre resources.<br />2.PM Modi's visit : It was a surprise when Mr.Modi announced that he would be celebrating Diwali with flood victims.Sea of people including children were waiting to meet him.He disappointed us by just spending just a couple of hours in Kashmir, and did not meet even a single flood victim .What a cruel joke!<br />3.Many Food packets from helicopters used to fall into flood water and got wasted.<br /><br />My sincere thanks to people across India and world who put in efforts to help us.Sonikanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287537482045880675.post-46901881960681048902014-10-04T04:17:08.959-07:002014-10-04T04:17:08.959-07:00Hope this bful place return s to normalcy and the ...Hope this bful place return s to normalcy and the ppl of Kashmir can breathe a sigh if relief.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
