The Kashmir Diaries: Why Are Sainik Colonies At Centre Of Political War?
On The Buck Stops Here special The Kashmir Diaries, we focus on the political storm over Sainik colonies in the Valley. The PDP-BJP government has gone on record to say no such colony is being set up but ex-servicemen are objecting to that saying why should this not be their right. Other states have such colonies. Jammu too has two Sainik colonies. So why this political storm in the Valley? Why should the Kashmiri soldiers be treated as outsiders in their own state? What are the political parties so concerned about? We debate.
