On Left, Right and Centre tonight, we discuss the bloodbath in Kashmir in which as many as seven civilians lost their lives in firing by security forces. Three terrorists were also killed and an army jawan Kishan Singh Rajput lost his life too. But when seven civilians have to die in order to neutralise three terrorists, is it time to stop and ask if the cost of the war against terrorists is too high? As encounters spike, and protestors rush to these encounter sites, is the rift in the Valley deepening to the point of no return? With Governor's rule in the state, who will be accountable for this loss of lives?
