Or we could let the Kashmiris decide the issue of who 'owns' them.
What a concept!
Didn't take too long to move that goal post. Did it now.
First you claimed that
Pakistan got to decide its ownership on its share of the pie. Now you are claiming that
Kashmiris should decide that issue.
Decide which line of argument you want to pursue. If it is the first one, then Kashmirs don't get to decide. If it is the later, then 'Azad' Kashmir is not yet Pakistan's.
Denying the right of self-determination to the Kashmiris.
That's 'democratic' India for you.
Did you say, democratic India? Well I guess, given the fact, that UN requires each party to be responsible for the administration of their individual part of Kashmir, India does give the Kashmiris the right to administer themselves. Thats democratic India for you.
As with Kashmiris right of self-determination, well, you seem to be undecided if it is at all necessary. It would seem that if 'Azad' Kashmir, as well as Northern areas can belong to Pakistan, or that teeny tiny piece of Kashmir can belong to China, then it is not necessary at all.
It "doesn't matter" in the sense that it's predictable.
And more importantly, the real voice that should matter should be the Kashmiris themselves, not India or Pakistan.
You sure thats how Northern areas and 'Azad' Kashmir became Pakistan's. I am not so sure though.
Besides, if thats how it '
should' be, then basically you defeat your own country's stance and actually rally around mine.
