Another seven Kashmiris were killed yesterday by Indian troops . Neither UNO nor human rights organisations condemned these atrocities nor raised voice on the continuous genocide of Kashmiris by Narindera Modi led Government.Human rights abuses in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir state are an ongoing issue. The abuses range from mass killings, enforced disappearances, torture, rape and sexual abuse to political repression and suppression of freedom of speech. The Indian Army, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Personnel (BSF) and various separatist militant groups have been accused and held accountable for committing severe human rights abuses against Kashmiri civilians.
Crimes by militants are said to be incomparable with the larger scale abuse by Indian state forces. Some rights groups say close to 100,000 people have died since 1989 while the official figures from Indian sources state the estimates of number of civilians killed due to the insurgency in the range of 16,725[ to 47,000 civilians, in which 3,642 civilians were killed by security forces
