Posters in Kashmir warn people to not cooperate with govt. of India
A month after Centre scrapped Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, posters in different parts of Kashmir have appeared on streets, warning people not to cooperate with the government.
The posters, according to the intelligence sources, are intended to create hinderance by preventing return of normalcy in in Kashmir.
The posters warned the government employees, daily wagers, transporters and street vendors, of dire consequences if any of them are seen to be cooperating with the security forces and the Indian government.
The posters have appeared in South Kashmir's Anantnag and Shopian, some districts of North Kashmir, and even in downtown Srinagar.
The posters, in Urdu, mentioned that "those who cooperate are traitors".
The sources believe that desperate to create disturbance in Kashmir, the militants and Over Ground Workers (OGW) are instilling fear in the people of the Valley.
The posters also instigating people to go for self-governance and self-decision making.
While the restrictions are eased in Jammu and Kashmir, there has been an uneasy calm in the are at the same time.
Some posters are more misleading, talking of United Nations Security Council's (UNSC) stand where Kashmir has been declared a conflict zone.
In one of the many posters, it is said, "There is an attempt to change demography of the state."
One poster said 'to protest peacefully' while in contrast also said to 'not come out on bikes, scooters or vehicles else the individual will be targeted'.
The warning comes after a civilian was killed recently in the outskirts of Srinagar for keeping his shop open.
