Fayaz Ahmad Sheikh, a resident of Sheeri, Baramulla has spoken out emotionally about the pain and struggle faced by families, who have lost loved ones to terrorism.
Fayaz’s father was killed by terrorists, leaving a void that no one can truly understand.
In a heartfelt statement, Fayaz condemned successive Jammu and Kashmir governments for their failure to support victims’ families adequately.
“No one can imagine the pain we carry every day,” he said. “Instead of standing with us, the regimes keep mocking victims with false promises and endless rounds of verifications that only delay justice.”
He criticized the bureaucratic hurdles and insincere assurances that have left survivors waiting indefinitely for recognition and aid.
“They treat our suffering like a formality. We need concrete action, not empty words,” Fayaz said.
Fayaz appealed directly to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to introduce reservations and other affirmative measures for families affected by terrorism.
“Reservations would be a small step toward restoring our dignity and helping survivors rebuild their lives,” he said. “We ask for justice, recognition, and support — not pity.”
His message resonates with many families across Kashmir who continue to live with loss and uncertainty amid a complex political and security landscape.
Fayaz’s call highlights the urgent need for government policies that meaningfully address the long-standing grievances of terror victims and their loved ones.
