India has blamed Pakistan for the attack - a charge Islamabad denies. "They blamed us for the attack, told us to leave town and never show our faces again," said Dar. On Thursday, one of the survivors, whose naval officer husband was killed in the militant attack, appealed to people to not go after Muslims and Kashmiris. As the news of the killings spread last week, Kashmiris poured onto the streets, holding candlelight vigils and protest marches. But she adds that it's unfair to place the burden of proving innocence on Kashmiris, when they have themselves become targets of hate and violence.
