Killing, Maiming, blinding. Pellets. Arresting thousands, using draconian PSA. Burning crop. Now banning newspapers. All to enforce silence
10:42 PM - 2 Oct 2016
The order, issued by district magistrate Srinagar, says that publication of the newspaper can “easily incite acts of violence and disturb peace and tranquility”.
This is not the first time that the government of Narendra Modi has attempted to gag voice. In July, Indian government had ordered to suspend publication of newspapers for three days.

Hilal Ahmad Mir, editor of Kashmir Reader, said: “We received this order and we have not been verbally told anything. They have said we are a threat to peace. We are unable to understand, how we could be a threat to peace.”
Srinagar-based journalist, Muhammad Faysal said Kashmir Reader is an independent paper whose reporting on the recent uprising and before created ripples in the region. It was impactful and for them any voice is dangerous hence it was shutdown, he added.
Modi government is under immense pressure due to rising unrest in the territory after and has resorted to inhuman practices to oppress the people’s movement for freedom. Over hundred of Kashmiris have been killed at the hands of Indian security forces and hundreds are injured in indiscriminate firing from pellet guns.
