If he has B@ll's let him come to Mumbai...& talk about azadi...man seniks r waiting for him....PLZZ have a seminar in Mumbai...
How many of you would end up getting banned for talking like gali ke ghunday before you get it through that this is not the level of debates welcomed here on Defence.pk?
 
If Indians have a case against Mirwaiz, try him in court, why the hooliganism? Deep frustration I guess, I hope JKLF also steps up and joins this hurriyat initiative.

I view the attack on Mirwaiz as nothing but a bully's tantrum at not being able to have his own way.

The attack was carried out by the pandits and not any other community.Their ancestors have been living in Kashmir long before the advent of Islam.Now they are refugees in their own country.No one listens to them . Obviously they are frustrated.The fact that the attacks were carried out by pandits adds a certain amount of legitimacy to it.

There were also VHP hooligans there. So it was a coordinated attack, never mind that no matter what happened 30 years ago, an attack on Mirwaiz is and always will be illegal.
 
Undeterred Hurriyat leaders will attend meet in Kolkata

The Hurriyat will go ahead with the rest of its “public relations” programme across the country by attending another seminar in Kolkata on Saturday. A day after he was manhandled at a seminar in Chandigarh, Hurriyat chief Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Friday said the attacks by right-wing activists would not deter them from establishing direct connection with the people of India and seek their cooperation for resolution of the Kashmir problem.

“Yes, we are going ahead with our programme, no matter what some people do to stop us,” Mirwaiz told The Indian Express. He said the Hurriyat’s goal was to put its case before the people of India and let them decide for themselves. “We believe in a peaceful resolution of Kashmir. We want to engage in a dialogue and discussion

Hurriyat leader Bilal Lone, who is accompanying Mirwaiz, denied reports that the Mirwaiz was punched in the face at the Chandigarh meet. Lone said he and the Mirwaiz would proceed to Kolkata on Saturday to attend the seminar: Jammu and Kashmir — The Way Forward. Asked whether they were ready for another protest in Kolkata, they said, “Yes, we are. ”

More and more Kashmiris are going to join the tour and soon echoes of Indian Army's brutality in Kashmir would be sounded in all of India.
 
Mirwaiz begins trip to inform Indians about Kashmir.

Agencies want to sabotage Awareness Campaign: Mirwaiz | Kashmir Media Service

Chandigarh, November 26 (KMS): The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC), Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who was attacked by the hoodlums of Hindu extremist organisation on Thursday during a seminar on Kashmir here, has said that the cowardice attack by these elements will not stop him from reaching out to the people of India for resolving the Kashmir dispute.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a media interview said that the Indian agencies wanted to prevent him from informing the people of India about the continued human rights abuses perpetrated by Indian troops in the occupied territory. “We are determined to represent the sentiments and aspirations of Kashmiris everywhere,” he added.

He said that he would participate in seminars in Kolkata, New Delhi and Luckhnow on Kashmir and would also meet the envoys of Islamic countries in New Delhi as a part of awareness campaign to apprise them about curbs imposed on prayers in the Valley.

The APHC Chairman said, “We made conscious decision of reaching to the citizens of India at this critical juncture of Kashmiris’ liberation movement and no force can stop us from our mission of educating them about the need for Kashmir settlement.”

Mirwaiz Attackers Communal Fanatics: Hurriyat (G)

Srinagar, Nov 26, KONS: Strongly condemning the attack on its chairman, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, and senior leader, Bilal Ghani Lone, in Chandigarh yesterday, the Hurriyat (M) on Friday said that the government would solely responsible for the consequences if it failed to curb such communal fanatics.

“Though the government clamped curfew in the old city and sealed off the Jamai Masjid to prevent a reaction to the attack, congregations elsewhere in the valley strongly condemned the cowardly assault,” the Hurriyat (M) said.

“Speakers at these congregations held the government directly responsible for the murderous attack, and warned the centre of dire consequences if it did not rein in such communal fanatics,” it said.

The chairman of the Democratic Forum, Bhushan Bazaaz, also condemned the attack on the Mirwaiz, saying that such acts were intolerable.

He said that the attack was carried out under a plan to spark off communal strife in the valley.
“But such acts cannot suppress the legitimate struggle of the people,” he said, appealing for maintaining communal harmony at all costs.

Akalis Flay Assault on Mirwaiz
All India Shiromani Akali Dal (J&K) today condemned the attack on Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Bilal Gani Lone at Chandigarh.

”It is the handiwork of those forces who want to create wedge between the sections of Kashmiri society and to communalize the issue of Kashmir” Dal said in a statement.

“It is our utmost duty to defeat the nefarious designs those who want to fragment the age old tradition of Kashmiriyat in the guise of nationalism and democracy”.

”They pretend to be Indians but are in fact violating the Indian ethos”, it said.
 
It's a good thing in fact. I do agree that we have made some human rights blunders in the Valley (with both the Muslims and the Kashmiri Pandits). These things will only draw people's attention to the problem and force GoI to address some glaring problems including that of Kashmiri Pandits.

Baat niklegi, toh door tak jayegi!3


P.S. @ My Pakistani friends. Don't get too excited. We are not leaving Kashmir.Never. Never, ever!

Its your thinking not our :wave:

We welcome farooq with same gift that he got in Chandighad
 
More and more Kashmiris are going to join the tour and soon echoes of Indian Army's brutality in Kashmir would be sounded in all of India.

No need to single out Indian army. If the army is brutal, it means every Indian is brutal. It means I'm brutal. It means my family is brutal.

The army is a part of our minds, bodies and souls.

BUT! The army IS NOT brutal. Calling the army brutal is nothing but a gross generalization and misrepresentation of facts.

Some people in the army have made mistakes as per human rights for which they must be punished but it is quite unfair to pin whole of the blame on the army alone.

The army is there because I and other Indians want it to be there.

Moreover, any conflict anywhere in the world is bound to be replete with human rights violations.

Did Pakistan army not violate human rights in its SWAT and south Waziristan operations against the Taliban?

Did the US not violate human rights in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Any army in the world, when it goes into operations, does commit some human rights violations.

Also, the army is not alone in this. It actually is a mess started by Pakistan in 1989. Remember, there was no army there till 1989.

**** HAPPENS!

But it must be cleaned later on. That much, I agree upon.

Please don't compare the genocide in East Pakistan with the anti-terrorist operations in J&K.

On topic .. yes it would be good to let them speak and expose their hollowness.

Apart from some Wahhabized elements in the Kashmir valley (which itself is a very small part of J&K), these chaps speak for nobody.
 
Talk on topic, its easy to invoke holy hell by dragging up history books but what is wrong and what is in front of you is clear.

The 4 point agenda clearly only mentions Kashmir's issues, and their resolutions not the azadi thing

Again! All these agendas ask only India to make all the compromises. One sided compromises are not acceptable.

This Gilani guy could not stop protesters from pelting stones and hence indulging in violence.

This Mirwaiz guy could not keep people from torching police stations.

They don't have any control on their own people whom they claim to represent.

Why should we give these guys any importance?
