Hold it on entire Kashmir Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Azad Kashmir.
We have no issue with that. Musharraf had given all options though many at our side didnt like these BUT i say let the Kashmiris decide what they want.
If they want to be with India let them do so
if they want to be with Pakistan let them do so
If they want to be independent let them do so
True -
But UN referrendum to take place there has to be a acceptance of this resolution from both sides first and according to the UN.
Now at least we will be in agreement that :-
The United Nations brokered a cease-fire in 1949, and a five-member commission made up of Argentina, Belgium, Columbia, Czechoslovakia and the United States drew up a resolution calling for a referendum to decide Kashmir's future.
And to be honest we never allowed at that time and there are several reasons.
1.The United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan, Having received from the Governments of India and Pakistan, in communications dated 23 December and 25 December 1948, respectively, their acceptance of the following principles which are supplementary to the Commission's Resolution of 13 August 1948:
1. The question of the accession of the State of Jammu and Kashmir to India or Pakistan will be decided through the democratic method of a free and impartial plebiscite;
2. A plebiscite will be held when it shall be found by the Commission that the cease-fire and truce arrangements set forth in Parts I and II of the Commission's resolution of 13 August 1948 have been carried out and arrangements for the plebiscite have been completed;
There are several other pointers to it as well.
However - Is it right to bring Argentina, Belgium, Columbia, Czechoslovakia and the United States. Who are not even aware of the situation in kashmir, the so called independent states never even know that the population of kashmir was devided into 3 religions, Hindu, Muslim and Buddhism.
2. The so called cease fire never happened and Pakistan taking advantage of this plebiscite which was seen as a future viable solution inflicted damage to Hindu communities to leave that place so as to get only Muslim count votes, which in other terms damages the very foundations of this IDEA.
As of now I dont see there is any such possibility, coz the kashmir that was referred to in 1949 and the kashmir that we are reffering today has no connection and there has been a paradigm shift both in religion, culture, people and most importantly the
ideas that governed this very state back then.
