JAMMU: With conditions deteoriating in Kashmir day on day and situation slowly moving towards negativity , has given enough reaosn to the top Army officer to write an open lertter to youth of Kashmir.

In his column titled– An army man’s open letter to Kashmiri Youth–for News18, Lt Gen (Retd) DS Hooda wrote, “I know your pain at losing a comrade or a loved one because I have felt the same pain and seen the same scenes of grief in our homes. Just like you, I am aware that conflict is not only about lost lives, but also about lost opportunities, lost education and a lost youth.. Unlike you, I come here for a two-three year posting and then move on. I thus tend to see things from a perspective which is not coloured by history or emotions. I only see what is happening today. And I honestly see you all headed in a downward spiral – being used by various groups for their own selfish reasons.”

Top officer further wrote  “It is for you to decide the path to take. But decide carefully. Stone pelting, flag waving, and school burning do not really enhance your image or further your cause.”
