Pellet Gun Victim Recalls Kashmir Horror Amid Delhi Protests

Insha Mushtaq was 14 years old when she was blinded by pellet guns used by security forces in Jammu and Kashmir.

She was not even a protester but was sitting by the window of her house when she was hit.

The pellet guns caused severe injuries, including loss of eyesight, to thousands of people in Kashmir.

The BJP claims that the use of pellet guns is no longer necessary after the scrapping of Article 370, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

However, victims like Insha argue that pellet guns should be stopped entirely due to the lifelong disabilities and trauma they cause.

The BJP also blames regional parties and separatists for the violence and protests that led to the use of pellet guns.

Insha has continued her studies despite her disability and uses assistive technologies like screen-reading.

She expresses disappointment that not many people raised their voices for the pellet gun victims of Jammu and Kashmir.
