The Story in Brief
The parents of wanted Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Abid Ramzan Sheikh hoisted the Tricolour at their home in Shopian on Independence Day, India Today reported. Sheikh is believed to be operating from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and is on the security forces’ most-wanted list in the Valley. He has allegedly ordered attacks on non-local labourers.
The event recalled 2021, when Muzaffar Wani, father of slain Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani, unfurled the national flag at a government school. Independence Day events were held peacefully across Jammu and Kashmir. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah renewed his government’s call for restoring statehood and constitutional guarantees.
The Indian Opinion
The flag ceremony should not be turned into proof that militancy has lost all local support, nor dismissed as a publicity stunt without evidence. A family’s public act and a wanted commander’s alleged record can both be reported without collapsing one into the other. The harder test is whether attacks on civilians fall and whether more families publicly reject violence in the months ahead.
