In the wake of The Kashmir Files, the alleged role of JKLF in attacks on Pandits has come back to haunt surviving leaders, especially Yasin Malik and Farooq Ahmad Dar alias Bitta Karate - Issue Date: Apr 4, 2022
Why did they flee? Who was responsible? Where are they now? What needs to be done? Why 'The Kashmir Files' has touched a raw nerve? - Issue Date: Apr 4, 2022

These are stories that need to be told and, for many soft separatists, it may be a hard pill to swallow.
