Today, the Kashmiri people do not seem to be represented on any media. There is a growing feeling among the Kashmiri people that such voices are being suppressed.

Since the decision was taken to change the constitutional status and constitutional framework of the state of Jammu and Kashmir to date, the Government of India has been claiming that everything in Kashmir is albel. However, the international media has been raising questions about this and the government's claim is being questioned.
The news circulating in the international media has created the impression that there is a massive protest in the Kashmir Valley. The government is finding it difficult to disprove this notion. This portrayal of the foreign media does not suit the audience who is ignorant of the issue or sees the Kashmir conflict as a mere incident. Yet it is important to understand the government's approach to dealing with the situation and the storms that have arisen against the backdrop of the claims being made by the government.
The manner in which sanctions are currently being imposed in the Kashmir Valley is unprecedented. But, is there really a fact in what is being said that the rate of violence is lower now than in the past? The reason for this is that the government's security managers have taken control of everything that could provoke protests. Communications have been banned to prevent any incidents of thousands of protesters taking to the streets to protest or incite violence on the streets. But, it is not possible to impose restrictions on the daily movement of the citizens as the citizens have to go out for medical or other vital needs. Citizens should be allowed to go out to meet their daily needs. As a result, the government has to allow citizens to move to some extent.
There is no doubt that the need for such strict control over the population is based on the assessment of some of the security agencies deployed in the region. The kind of restrictions that have been imposed here prove just how intense the public's reaction to your decision will be. The government must have realized this. But it also shows the difference between the government's media policy and the actual tight security system. Whatever it was, the government’s media managers had no objection to showing rare incidents of protest. Because it would have turned out to be a far cry from the extreme negativity of many analysts. So why is the government so angry or upset at the news of a few thousand protesters or even dozens of people being stoned?
Opposition party Congress say, many things may have been mishandled by the government because of its own propaganda. According to Indian Congress party, there is no consensus between the government's security precautions and the political rhetoric surrounding its decision. It is ridiculous to assume that the government would have suppressed the seven million people in the Kashmir Valley. Equally ridiculous is the claim by the government and some media that such peace and stability will prevail in the valley. So it's no surprise that the government's imaginary mansion collapses like an address bungalow.
It is not difficult for the media of certain groups in the country and even for the international media to ignore the statements made by the government. One demonstration is enough to prove that the rumors that everything is Albel are false, even if the government insists on denying it. After the repeal of Section 370, the government should not have anticipated the behavior of such journalists in the next planning, moving out of the valley, exchanging pendrives with the help of messengers and planes.
Compare images of protests during the turbulent times of 2008, 2010 and 2016 and images of protests after the August 5 decision. Crowds have attacked security guards in the past, knocking them to the ground, using ammunition, even setting fire to police stations, or throwing stones at security guards' vehicles and the iron around them, throwing wooden logs, breaking them, and so on. It was also broadcast on TV. Nowhere is such intensity seen in the present demonstration, given the active action of expressing fierce anger and rage in the past.
The main reason for this is that the army has been deployed on a large number of direct roads and they have closed every checkpoint and prevented people from leaving their homes. But, the current peace should not keep the administration in the dark. There is no reason to doubt that there could be another eruption in the valley. The eruption will be more severe than any previous accident and it is impossible to predict.
Although the government has managed to reduce the likelihood of violence for a short period of time due to these restrictions, Kashmir has gained a foothold in the international media without much dissatisfaction or protest from the locals. Whether the people of the country are satisfied or happy with the ban, there is outrage in the international community. French President Emmanuel Macron's statement that "France will always be vigilant for the civil rights of its citizens in Kashmir" is a clear indication of this.
So, what exactly did the media's whirlwind propaganda and the government's big claims achieve? This begs the question. Although the insane masses of the country are preoccupied with the same perverted joy of Pakistan's "Jirwali", negative signals are being given from the opposite side. However, the local constituency is not a concern of the government and will not be directly involved in what will change in the next few months or years.
Rather than creating counter-specific positive issues, the way in which public discussion is being handled incorrectly and everything in the media is repeatedly shown to be albel, is fueling more intense anger and resentment. Therefore, it is clear from the actual statement that the airmen and their cameras are the direct victims of the citizens' anger. Dissatisfaction has now arisen among people who have been trying to meet their daily needs even under strict restrictions and have been waiting for days to call a loved one.
Many parents have also refused to send their children to school because they are convinced that this kind of school attendance will be used by the government to show that everything is normal. Even though restrictions have been lifted in some places, people have restricted their movements on their own so that everything is fine and there is peace in the atmosphere in Kashmir.
Protests are nothing new for Kashmir. Anger erupts and even carries away. Today, the voice expressing displeasure over Kashmir is rarely seen on TV or in newspapers. Any voice of resentment or outrage is being suppressed, ignored or insulted. It is very important for democracy to decide whether they want to let out the anger of the people through mild political action or let some angry people express themselves on the television screen.
Creating a good picture of people sitting quietly in anger and then waiting for an unexpected and unexpected eruption is not the right way to deal with the problems in a sensitive, volatile and troubled state like Jammu and Kashmir. As long as the government is not disillusioned with the self-proclaimed statement, "The Kashmir issue ended with just one stroke of a pen."
