NEW DELHI, India, Aug 2, 2010 (AFP) - Indian Kashmir is locked in a "cycle of violence," its chief minister said Monday, after holding crisis talks in New Delhi on a wave of unrest that has left more than 30 people dead.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who pleaded for an end to the violence in a television broadcast on Sunday, flew to the capital where he met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and attended a meeting of the government's security cabinet.

Indian Kashmir is currently embroiled in the deadliest wave of unrest to hit the Muslim-majority region for two years.

The death in early June of a 17-year-old student -- killed by a police tear-gas shell -- triggered a rolling series of protests against Indian rule that has seen 32 protesters killed, most of them as a result of police firing.

Fifteen people have died since Friday alone, including four who were killed Sunday when an arson attack on a police station ignited some stored explosives, demolishing the building.

"Tragically, we have locked ourselves into a cycle of violence where protest leads to death, leading to further protests and further casualties," Abdullah told reporters after his meetings with Singh and senior cabinet ministers.

"We have to break the cycle," he said, appealing again for protesters to respect curfews that have been enforced -- with little success -- across the Kashmir Valley.

While insisting that his priority was to prevent any further deaths, Abdullah stressed that restraint had to be shown on both sides.

"When people take it upon themselves to take the law into their hands there are consequences and sometimes these consequences are tragic," he said.

"Some semblance of normalcy would have to be a precursor for us taking any sort of initiative forward," he added.

Speaking in parliament on Monday, Home Minister P. Chidambaram acknowledged that the situation had "taken a serious turn" over the past few weeks.

Indian officials say Pakistan-backed hardline separatists are behind the latest unrest, but locals say it is the spontaneous result of years of pent-up frustration and alleged abuses by police and paramilitary forces.

Decades of on-off political dialogue about the status of the disputed territory have made no tangible progress, and unemployment is running high, especially among young people.

Abdullah acknowledged there was a sense of "alienation" among Kashmiris and said that political action was needed to find a permanent solution.

Police and paramilitary forces sought to enforce a curfew Monday in the main Kashmiri city of Srinagar and other towns and villages across the Kashmir valley.

Despite the heavy security presence, residents have regularly defied the curfews to stage large-scale street demonstrations.

"We are stretched as far as it is possible to be stretched," Abdullah said, adding that he had asked the home minister to provide more paramilitary troops as well as specialised units of the police Rapid Action Force.

Police say they have opened fire only after coming under attack, and after first trying to disperse the crowds with baton charges and tear gas.

Locals insist the protests have been vocal but peaceful.

Last week, Abdullah's government ordered a judicial probe into the protesters' deaths.

The inquiry will be led by two retired judges and has been tasked with submitting a report within three months.

SRINAGAR, India, Aug 2, 2010 (AFP) - Four protesters in Indian Kashmir were killed in firing by security forces on Monday, police said, during the latest violent demonstrations against Indian rule.

"The security forces had to open fire after baton charges and tear-gas failed to disperse the protesters," a police officer who declined to be named told AFP by telephone.

The four men died in separate incidents across the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley. In one incident, a man died and ten other protesters were injured when they tried to storm a camp used by security personnel, the officer said.

Indian Kashmir has been wracked by pro-independence protests since a 17-year-old student was killed by a police tear-gas shell in early June.

SRINAGAR: Curfew remained in force in the held Kashmir on Monday, which has been hit by a fresh wave of violence since Friday.

One person, who was hit by a teargas shell three days back in Bijbehara in south Kashmir, succumbed to his injuries last night. With his death, the total number of people who died in the Valley since Friday has gone up to 15.

In New Delhi, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) had met last night for the second time in a month to take stock of the situation. The Chief Minister of Held Kashmir Umer Abdullah will meet Prime Minister and Interior Minister today.

Earlier, held Kashmir Chief Minister has appealed for calm and asked political parties and leaders to cooperate with the Government for return of peace in the state. He has vowed to deal sternly with lawbreakers and the perpetrators of violence, asserting that he will not allow them "to win".

i'm just an observer


The protests are growing in number. Those are Kashmiri peoples, not ''ISI agents'' as some of you hindustanys like to deduct, in order to calm yourselves and remain in denial.

When Mr. Abdullah travels over to hindustan and declares:


Addressing a press conference after a meeting with the Prime
Minister and senior ministers here, Omar said curfew will be implemented strictly and sought additional paramilitary forces especially the Rapid Action Force to deal with street protesters

(Curfews will be enforced strictly in Kashmir: Omar - Hindustan Times)

Do you think this is what Kashmiris want to hear? They are revolting now for the same reason. It’s unfortunate that the ‘’worlds biggest democracy’’ stamps out dissent with an iron fist. Then again, you declare that this (disputed) area is an ‘’integral part’’ of Hindustan when in fact the realities and the sentiments of the people suggest otherwise

Btw till now PM of Pak occupied Kashmir is Islamabad puppet he cant even order any thing he need Islamabad permission .. right
So whats his credibility among occupied Kashmiris

Hmmm, where are the protests? I don’t see any

For your info, AJ&K, parliamentary system was introduced and Prime Minister, as the Chief Executive of the State, was elected by the majority of the votes of the Legislative Assembly. They have their own independent Supreme Court and High Court. The Ministry of Kashmir affairs and Gilgit Baltistan affairs serves as a link between the Government of Pakistan and the Government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

Credibility seems to be no issue, since it isn’t our policy to oppress and subjugate them to curfews and extra-judicial killings.
