Year-round eat, drink and then for a month lay down fork and spoon. That is the month of Ramadan or Ramzan. Of course, ‘prayer’ and ‘fasting’ and the peace that comes with both are also Ramadan. But Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti wants the formula applied to the unrest in the Kashmir Valley. Year-round foreign and Kashmiri terrorists go on a killing spree in J&K and Mehbooba Mufti wants to give them the Ramadan month off to rest their guns and limbs. She wants the Indian army to ‘cease fire’ for the duration of Ramadan, which is right round the calendar.
