										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) may have separated itself from the Nihangs, who reportedly lynched a man at a farm rally venue on the Delhi-Haryana border on Friday, but it has now come to light that members of the martial Sikh order addressed the farmers from the stage at Singhu multiple times.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The SKM, an umbrella body farm union with 32 members from Punjab that has been spearheading the agitation against farm laws at the Delhi border for nearly 11 months, claimed on Friday that the man&#8217;s lynching was &#8220;an internal matter of the Nihang Sikhs&#8221; and had nothing to do with the farmers&#8217; movement, which is not religious.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Terrorists shot and murdered two teachers in a government school in Srinagar&#8217;s Eidgah neighborhood on Thursday, including a woman, police said. Satinder Kaur and Deepak Chand, members of the region&#8217;s minority Sikh and Hindu cultures, were among the victims.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Terrorists shot and killed a street hawker named Virender Paswan and a pharmacy shop owner named Makahn Lal Bindroo in Srinagar earlier on Wednesday.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Recent incidences of targeting civilians, primarily non-Muslim minorities, have elicited a great deal of resentment and outrage among Twitter users. Many are stating that it appears to be a repeat of the 1990s in Kashmir, when local and Pakistani-backed terrorists perpetrated ethnic cleansing and genocide against Kashmiri Pandits.</p>
