The situation is getting worse once again just before an All Party delegation visit to Kashmir which is scheduled on September 4.
Kashmir doesn't need an 'all party delegation'. It needs a new clear policy: no azaadi ever so stop putting children in the line of fire.

Some of the Muslim opposition leaders within the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir who want independence from India have asked people to support the extended shut down program till September 8. They have asked people to occupy Srinagar Airport where all party delegations led by Rajnath Singh, India’s Minister for Home Affairs, are scheduled to arrive to find an amicable solution to the violent protest.
To date, 73 people have been killed and more than 9,000 have been injured in clashes between police and protesters. Protests began when a Hizbul Mujahideen militant, Burhan Wani, was killed by security personnel on July 8.
