Truth

The image used by Congress to blame BJP is more than a decade old, i.e. when they themselves were in power.

Alamy, an Image distribution website says –

“Youths shout anti-India slogans during the funeral procession of Syed Farrukh Bukhari, a 19-year-old Kashmiri boy, in Kreeri, north of Srinagar August 11, 2010. Many of Indian Kashmir’s streets lie deserted aside from stray dogs. Police, who have killed dozens of protesters defying India’s efforts to quell a separatist uprising, stand at street corners in the region’s summer capital of Srinagar. Relatives alleged that Bukhari’s body was recovered from a pitch after he was arrested by the Indian police 11 days ago. REUTERS/Danish Ismail (INDIAN-ADMINISTERED KASHMIR”
