How?????????????????????????

:undecided::undecided:
 
"a mirage is the desert" for Geelani eye's. and he trying to make everyone see the same mirage that he dreams about
 
How?????????????????????????

Obama didn't say anything about Kashmir!!

Well, he did mention Kashmir at the joint presser with Mr Mnamohan Singh.

I personally feel Obama, in a way, said something for everyone.

The fact that he did talk about Kashmir, terming it a long outstanding dispute, saying Pakistan and India should resolve it can be taken by the Kashmiri leaders as a backing for their stance.

For India's sake, he ruled out imposing any solution and said the issue was to be decided bilaterally.

Pakistan can see light in his words that US is willing to play any role to reduce tensions between the two countries in a way that both countries may agree to.

Smart, i would say.
 
Obama’s statement supports Pakistan’s Kashmir stance: Babar


LAHORE, Nov 8 (APP): Federal Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Dr Babar Awan has said that US President Barack Obama’s statement on Kashmir expressed international acceptance of Pakistan’s stand on the issue.Talking to the media on his arrival at the Allama Iqbal International Airport here on Monday, he said that now the Kashmir issue should be resolved according to the UN resolutions for peace in the subcontinent.Talking about an upcoming meeting of the Friends of Pakistan on flood affected areas, he said the support of the international community was a success of the nation.

Commenting on the political situation in the country, he said that “Charter of Pakistan” envisaged by PML-N Quaid Mian Nawaz Sharif was incomprehensible in the presence of the 1973 constitution which was formed by a consensus of all parties at that time.
He said the PML-N should focus on governance in Punjab where prices of chicken had reached up to Rs 300 per kg, adding that some elements had established a “poultry foundry” in the province.
On the price of sugar, he said crushing could not start in Punjab purposefully even though the federal government had released stocks on time.
He questioned governance in Punjab and asked why the provincial government was not following the directions of the Supreme Court on the sugar price which should be Rs 45 per kg.
He said the chief minister should focus on governance in the province by implementing court observations on sugar and eliminating anti-people elements.
To a question, the minister said chicken would be sold at Rs 1000 per kg and an egg for Rs 100 if governance was not improved.
To a question on the Judicial Council and the 19th amendment, he said that not a single word could be changed in the constitution without an amendment and the government would assist the ruling of the Supreme Court through parliament.

Associated Press Of Pakistan ( Pakistan's Premier NEWS Agency ) - Obama’s statement supports Pakistan’s Kashmir stance: Babar

Which Statement is he referring to "Obamas supports India's UNSC aspirations" or "terrorist safe havens in Pakistan are not acceptable"..?

Both are so applicable to Kashmir...
 
Which Statement is he referring to "Obamas supports India's UNSC aspirations" or "terrorist safe havens in Pakistan are not acceptable"..?
He is referring to the statement that Kashmir is a long outstanding dispute between India and Pakistan which needs to be resolved for regional peace and that the US is willing to play a role to reduce tensions between the two countries.
 
Hawk Syed Ali Shah Geelani was prompt to praise Obama’s statement.
Good metaphor! :tup:

Everyone is trying to take a piece of the meat out of Obama's mention of Kashmir.

I liked the point where MMS mentioned that a strong, peaceful and moderate Pakistan is in the interest of India, S. Asia and the world. We are committed to engage with Pakistan and resolving all the outstanding issues.
 
Move this thread to "Stupid and Funny" please. :rofl:

Well that's pretty obvious. We say Kashmir is integral part of India and you oppose it. There in lies the dispute between India and Pakistan. Something we should resolve bilaterally. We all know it. Obama basically said the same thing again. Moreover by saying that he kind of towed India's point of view. Obviously Pakistan who is asking US to mediate but he stayed clear of any such overtures. How is that Pakistan winning I fail to understand!

Bold part is not true. He said US will mediate only if both countries are willing. There is no way in hell India would allow such thing.

For a third party to play a role in a bilateral dispute, the two parties must agree on the kind of role the third party must play. Obama has offered to play a role not in settling the dispute but in helping to reduce the tensions. Obviously, US cannot do anything if both India and Pakistan aren't willing or ready to do on their own. Look at the palestine dispute. Despite playing a direct mediatory role, US hasn't been able to resolve the issue.
 
Well I don't think anyone can deny that there have been human right issues and I believe I'll not be mistaken if I speak on behalf of every Indian that our heart cries for them.

But...and this is a big BUT...human rights violations are a part and parcel of any action anywhere in the world which involves massive use of military.

And as a matter of fact, India was 'forced' to use so much military on its own people after 1989 (not before that).

Wherever there will be army, in whichever conflict of the world, there will be human rights issues, be it East Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine etc.

This is sad but true.
