Kishtwar: Amidst tension, Muslim neighbours help Hindu man get married
KISHTWAR; 11, AUG 2013: As tension and violence continues in Jammu region, a glimmer of hope came in Kishtwar where a Hindu doctor was able to get married, thanks to the efforts of his Muslim neighbours.
The neighbours helped escort Dr Ashish Sharma's relatives to the Chowghan ground through sensitive areas. The wedding procession then moved to the Poochal area of Kishtwar.
This came even as curfew continues in eight districts across Jammu region following communal clashes. The BJP has called for a bandh across Jammu on Monday.
Pro-freedom leader Muhammad Yasin Malik has called for a peace march in Srinagar today.
Clashes broke in Kishtwar town on 9th August when some miscreants from minority community (hindu) atacked muslims soon after they concluded their eid prayers. Three people have been killed so far. A handicapped man belonging to muslim community was burnt alive. National Highway has been blocked. The Amarnath and Machail yatra too were suspended.
