Attacks on Kashmiri Shawl Sellers Spark Concern

Attacks on Kashmiri Shawl Sellers Spark Concern

There have been some scary incidents where people from Kashmir who sell shawls in other parts of India have been attacked or harassed.

This has happened in places like Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.

A video showed one seller being forced to say something he didn't want to.

The police have started investigating and have promised to take action.

Many people, including leaders and groups from Kashmir, are worried about this and have asked the government to do more to protect these sellers.

They want the government to make sure these sellers are safe and that the people who did these bad things are punished.

Some leaders, like Farooq Abdullah, have warned that these attacks are a sign of growing extremism and have compared it to the actions of Hitler.
