You people have violated the instructions and this time, I will let you go over this act, otherwise there is procedure to handle such incidents as per law,” BSF jawan had told Kashmiri youth.

We were never informed by the BSF personnel about these things but when Pakistani tourists waved their hands, and being a Muslim, we wished them Aslamullakum. We fail to understand why BSF personnel reacted on this wish which is offered a give respect to another Muslim that was taught to us by our elders since born.” (KNO)
