J&K assembly polls: Voters defy militants, over 70% turnout recorded so far

[AgNoStiC MuSliM]

Is there a point in putting something on stake when you already have it?

Your comment indicates there is risk invovled, which in turn means that the turnout results are fake OR that you realize that an electoral turnout in local elections is only relevant in terms of the local population's desire to better manage their day-2-day lives, and has little to no bearing on whether they want to remain a part of India or not

Yes, we are all for plebiscite in pak occupied Kashmir. How about that?

A plebiscite should be held in all of disputed Kashmir, as the Indian government agreed and committed to in the UN.

Rather then risk, its all about purpose. Plebiscite doesn't means any purpose for India and its just like we doing plebiscite in Delhi

For us - No plebiscite means Kashmir within us.
Plebiscite means Kashmir within us.

Now tell me the purpose. Mind you, pleasing pakistan is not even comes into our consideration.

Also the risk of unfavorable results in doing plebiscite is as much as doing it in Karachi or Balochistan or even Uttar Pradesh. Will you do plebiscite in Karachi for no purpose?

A plebiscite should be held in all of disputed Kashmir, as the Indian government agreed and committed to in the UN.

Committed under some preconditions and even that was not binding. We dont feel like doing it now.

However pakistan is free to do so in his part.

Abey dhakkan! Almost every state of India has got its own language. In Kerala, his slogan would be in Malayalam, Bengali in W. Bengal, Marathi in Maharashtra.

Teri samajh nahi aayega. Dimaag pe zor mat lagaa.

Why? Wasn't the point behind you tagging me to highlight the fact that the alleged election turnout indicates a significant degree of support for India? If so, then why the fear over a plebiscite?

plebiscite is out of question
JnK is a Indian state.....with special privileges
inspite of the call for boycotting polls by terror groups,, the huge voter turnout indicates that ppl of the state have had enuff of terrorism,,n want change,,,,

Why you fear to do plebiscite at P o K first, let force Indian government to do same in J&K?? Why so afraid??

Change in their day to day lives - that does not mean they accept Indian sovereignty, which can only be determined via a plebiscite that the Indian government committed to in the UN.

ofcourse,,ppl of the state want change,,,,n with that kind of voter turnout,ignoring the calls for boycott by separatists n threats by terrorists,, they have clearly acknowledged that it can be achieved within the ambit of Indian democracy.
n plebiscite,,,,,no

No - all it means is that the people want their daily lives to be better (while also maintaining the demand to be given the right to choose which nation they wish to be a part of).

Again, if Indians really believed that the majority of Kashmiris preferred Indian sovereignty over Pakistan, they would not oppose an impartial plebiscite.

Why thank you so much,now go and catch your prasad before the fragnance of its special ingredient fades away

Aren't you tired of making an ar$e of yourself? Or is the topic on hand getting you so miffed that you just need to ventilate despite that fact that you come across as an ignorant buffoon. Now, I suggest that you pull out your prayer mat and beat yourself with it since you are an embarrassment to your religion. And please, put up your real flags. Or is the green too humiliating for you ?

Isn't the plebiscite a Pakistani demand and not a Kashmiri demand ? Or does the views of a few separatists leaders bind the majority of the people ? Why should India succumb to Pakistan's demands ?

Okay, since people have voted overwhelmingly and many friends are projecting it as referendum by kashmiries then i suppose we should have no problem in inviting UN to conduct plebisite in Jammu,Kashmir ,Gilgit,Azad Kashmir,Ladakh.With 70 % voting,we can end this conflict with one master stroke.
In the bottom of our hearts,We all know where the sympathies of Kashmiries lie.We all are delusional to think that the hearts of kashmiries have changed.The hearts of Kashmiries still reverberate with Pakistani hearts.And for referendum opinion of from the other side of LOC is also critical.
It is as if someone would say since Pandit Nehru studied in UK,so it meant he was submitting to British rule in India.

they believe that reasonable demands will be met n desirable changes will be achieved,,,,the turnout displays the ppls belief in Indian democracy,,,,,
btw assembly polls r not a trivial non issue,,,otherwise separatists wudnt be crying hoarse
or u can spin it more

70% believes in our democracy,thats enuff for now
why wud we want plebiscite,,,we already have kashmir,,situation gradually improving,,,,way things r going,give it a decade or two,,,, Pakistan may infact get GOI to say yes for plebiscite



@SarthakGanguly

Can this turnout number be confirmed by an independent source? No.

And pictures are carefully photographed, taken from certain angles of one or two polling stations with two to three hundred people to show a huge turnout.

These games are for kids, young Indian crowd for political consumption. If you really have such huge support there wouldn't be any reservation to allow any international third party to come survey the pollings.

With respect to j&k.....yes
