A cricketer heard voice of death at early age with no justice
As the time is running like a bullet, many chapters are closing day by day and we humans tend to forget the topic as the time goes on. Kashmir is burning issue which is not yet solved and people of Kashmir are fighting for their democratic rights like self-determination, freedom from last many years and have not achieved these rights yet , they have lost many precious lives, parents lost their wards, many became orphan and many more became widow in this struggle of rights. From last 431 years Jammu and Kashmir has lost approximately about 1 million lives and especially since past 25 years of conflict most violent phase has been witnessing leaving thousands dead among them were youngsters who could have been doctors or engineers.
As we move on Kashmir is fighting for freedom from last 65 years against Indian government. As the population of other states is mounting up at the good rate but the population of Kashmir is decreasing in every day because Indian policy has simply ruined lives of Kashmiri. While the people of Kashmir are throwing stones and in return security forces in valley throw back bullets and teargas shells. Every bullet has its own bull eyes, and one of the victim of this aggression from state forces was martyr Tufail Mattoo as received tear gas shell on his head and made his history in front of every human being and Tufail matoo killing in 2010 gave rise to worst ever death cycle of Kashmir which created its own tragic history .Many believe his killing is responsible for youth once again picking guns. The protests in aftermath of killing left 115 youngsters dead, hundreds wounded. A 17th years teen ager Tufail Mattoo was killed in 11 June 7, 2010 while he was playing cricket and Kashmir lost the great cricketer who could have been next Sachin Tendular but his talent was rewarded by security forces with a tear gas shell and he fell on the ground and became silent forever . As the local residence state “Tufail was very good cricketer and he liked to play with his friends and sometimes if his friends were busy his father accompanied and played with him. If playing a cricket is crime from the prospective of security then kill all the world best cricketers who are playing to represent their country”. Another Tufail’s friend state “I am cricketer kill me or shoot me if it is crime I am ready to do this crime continue and I love to be another Tufail Mattoo”.
A family lost his son who was their stick for old age as Tufail was only single son of their parents. His father states that they have not been given justice and the file has been closed and result is zero. The father is fighting for justice from last 3 years and doing great and painful struggle for justice and yet not getting it . The voice of Tufail is questioning people of Kashmir that give me justice and take my murderer into court and give him chastisement. A little child who has not seen the world and has dream to do something for his parents but unfortunately his dreams flew with air and could not fulfill his dreams because he was brutally killed . His mother in tragedy is questioning where is my son as she give him tremendous love but his son will not come. Security force have destroyed their family completely and they have no expectations with Indian government.
Tufail Mattoo was dynamic boy but unfortunately he lost his life at a tender age and may his voice find the eternal peace.
