Several injured in Kashmir protests following Afzal Guru’s hanging

Srinagar: Several people were injured on Saturday by security forces in Baramulla district of Indian-administered Kashmir when protesters thronged the streets against the execution of Indian Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

Bilal Ahmad Gojri was injured after a teargas shell hit him during protests at Azadgunj in Baramulla town and Firdous Ahmad was hit by a bullet in the arm at Doabgah in Sopore area, which is Guru’s hometown.

The two injured have been shifted to a nearby hospital where they are said to be stable.

People are also protesting in Handwara area of Kupwara district, official sources said.

Kashmiri separatist Guru was executed today over his alleged role in a deadly attack on parliament in New Delhi in 2001, an episode that brought nuclear-armed India and Pakistan to the brink of war.

Mohammed Afzal Guru, a former fruit seller, was hanged at Tihar Jail on the outskirts of the capital after his final appeal for mercy was rejected by President Pranab Mukherjee.

He is only the second person to be executed in India in nearly a decade, AFP reported.

Guru’s family claimed that they were not informed about the execution or rejection of the mercy plea by the Indian president.

“We had no idea, we were woken up by people, got to know when things were being debated and posted on Facebook,” Guru’s cousin Yaseen told Hindustan Times.

“We have gotten no letter, no family member has been informed as opposed to what the government is claiming.

“His wife had appealed for mercy, she should have been informed that the plea has been rejected. We got to know about that from the national television in the morning,” he added.

India, on the other hand, had maintained that Guru’s family was informed about his execution by the Tihar authorities and the Jammu and Kashmir government was taken into confidence before his hanging.

Guru is survived by his two brothers, wife Tabasum and son Galib.

    The hangings of both Ajmal Kasab and Afzal Guru were murders because the 2008 Mumbai killings were sponsored by the CIA and India’s RAW participated in it along with Pakistan’s ISI and RAW sponsored the Parliament attack: WhatYouShouldKnowAboutRAWDOTblogspotDOTcom(Jan. 31, 2013) India’s nuclear forces were a big fat zero until I persuaded them to emplace India’s nuclear warheads in U.S. cities. They are still a big fat zero having failed so far to have triggered the warheads. India’s Dasyu population is profoundly hostile to the king of the Aryas — myself, who is profoundly different from India’s Dasyu population even in his looks — and committed to everlasting slavery to whites whom they helped kill over ten million Indians in just the ten years after 1857 and have been helping in crimes against me for the past 36 years. Unless India’s nuclear forces stop behaving like India’s Dasyu population — such as RAW and the head of DRDO who rules out building any missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads to the United States and is not worried that the satellite navigation the SLBM he just tested uses can be switched off by the Americans any time and that RAW provides the Americans with information on digital circuitry in India’s weapons that can be used to disable them by microwave signals from satellites — and trigger the warheads that are emplaced and destroy Washington, New York and RAW without further delay with an EXPLICIT warning that additional U.S. cities will be destroyed with warheads already emplaced in them if there is any retaliation, they will share the fate of India’s Dasyu population. On January 5, 2004 I wrote about Indians “It is a thankless task to try to break their chains but I feel I should try”. On October 19, 2012 I wrote “India’s media, government and citizenry at large are willing participants in CIA-RAW’s crimes against me and against India and deserve to be killed in their billions”. India’s nuclear forces can save themselves and India by steadfastly refusing to behave like India’s Dasyu population. (Feb. 4, 2013) India’s nuclear forces can bring the king of the Aryas back to India and suppress the Dasyu hordes that constitute India’s government, media and citizenry at large participating in the Americans’ suppression of him. (Feb. 5, 2013) The task is not to suppress the Dasyu hordes but the coast-to-coast destruction of the United States which requires the simultaneous nuclear destruction of Washington, New York and RAW as a first stage. By saying that India’s nuclear forces must not lose the element of surprise on which India’s victory depends, I mean the destruction of Washington, New York and RAW should be sudden, with no forewarning as to whether it will be tomorrow or the day after or next week, etc. and it should be done before the Americans do anything, such as a nuclear first strike on India or by conventional means, to forestall it. By “sudden” I also mean that the destruction of Washington and New York should be completed in the first blow and should not be gradual or in stages. If only one twenty kiloton warhead has been emplaced in each of these cities — Washington and New York — fine, just explode these two warheads with the EXPLICIT warning that additional U.S. cities will be similarly destroyed, with nuclear warheads already emplaced in them, if there is any retaliation; if more than one nuclear warheads have been emplaced in each of these two cities, all warheads should be exploded in the first blow, with the EXLICIT warning that additional U.S. cities will be similarly destroyed, with nuclear warheads already emplaced in them, if there is any retaliation. This is all that is needed to ensure India’s victory. India has this opportunity right now. If the United States shows any sign of retaliating or takes any retaliatory step, the destruction of the additional cities in which warheads have been emplaced — whether these additional cities are just two in number or a dozen or more — should be done immediately and simultaneously in the second blow, exploding all the warheads emplaced in all of these additional cities. India’s Dasyu hordes easily submitted to rule by the British and they will submit to rule by Satish Chandra after the coast-to-coast destruction of the United States. I have also said above that they deserve to be killed in their billions. What to do with India’s Dasyu hordes can be decided later. The main task is the coast-to-coast destruction of the United States. (Feb. 6, 2013) Nothing is more urgent than the destruction of RAW and it has to be done simultaneously with that of Washington and New York. One nuclear warhead targeting RAW headquarters and one targeting the South Block and North Block area still seems a good solution. India’s army and air force are a continuation of those under the British whose loyalties are to the white countries. I have said I do not need India’s conventional forces to defend India; they are liabilities, not assets. If the destruction of the South Block – North Block area does not keep them quiet, additional warheads can be targeted at the Army and Air Headquarters, etc. IndiasTraitorGovtAndMediaDOTblogspotDOTcomSatish Chandra
