Thanx mate..I dont believe in mincing my words.

but at least have the dignity to NOT call yourself a democratic/secular/:blah: country yes?

Why not..??

Democracy means people can choose who should govern them under the existing laws of the country.Kashmiris can choose from the various political parties.No one stops them from doing that.

Democracy doesnt mean "Allowing every Tom,Dick and Harry to have a separate nation at their whim and fancy"

BTW Im not surprised you dont have much idea about democracy.

Give the free press a chance, hopefully things would get better.

They already have a plethora of chances and would surely report once the situation would be normal in just a matter of hours unlike IOK.

:rolleyes:

Its time all the illegal construction done by the Chinese in Gilgit must be stopped, if it doesn't stop then send Sukhois and Mirages bomb away all the illegal construction. Because it is now or never after any considerable presence the things would be totally impossible.

i thought democratic societies promoted fair and free media....but it seems indians prefer selective democracy, when it suits them.


You claim that the journalist got we he deserved; interestingly enough, as per the article - the journalist was free to carry out his duty and had the authority to do so (despite the constant curfews) yet he was thrashed and beaten by the police


are the hindustany authorities and the police/army not on the same page here?


it's unfortunate that hindustan choses to suppress the Kashmiri majority using heavy handed tactics; it's coming back to bite them

You are kidding me, right. Media in Pak Adm Kashmir is observed closely and pakistani media had voiced again and again about being oppressed. You can't deny the fact that media is controlled in Pak Adm Kashmir. Bad side barely gets coverage.

Democracy comes second only to territorial integrity of the country.So I dont see any issues here.

Who knows what hapened between them (Police and journalist)..?So before knowing who was at fault lets not play a blame game..

Every single of the 1.2 billion Indians are on the same page as far as Kashmir is concerned.

And it is equally unfortunate that Pakistan makes a million people just pawns in its land-grab game.

India%20Deserves%20intl%20pressure%20on%20Referendum%20in%20Kashmir.jpg


Islamabad, August 28, 2010: The Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Freedom League (JKPFL), Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has said that India was bound under its own international promise to grant the right of self-determination to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Farooq Rehmani in a statement issued in Islamabad said that India had become a law unto itself, and therefore deserved international pressure to concede the popular demand for right to self-determination. He pointed out that by granting the right of self-determination to the Kashmiris, South Asia could enjoy peace and security and bitter enemies could become peaceful neighbours in the region.


The JKPFL Chairman maintained that if India failed to read the writing on the wall, responsibility would lie on the Indian Government, leaving Kashmiris no option except to continue the present mass struggle more resolutely and vigorously. He urged the Security Council members, who adopted historical resolutions on Kashmir between 1948 and 1965, to revive their activities on Kashmir and bring India and Pakistan closer to a durable solution in line with UN resolutions and in accordance with the Kashmiris’ aspirations. He pointed out that Kashmiris would get the reward of their sacrifices very soon.

Condemning the latest spree of killings and arrests of common people mostly youngsters in Occupied State of Jammu & Kashmir, he said that the unbridled powers under the black laws had made Indian army and police brutal and they were causing daily killings in all rural and urban areas of Kashmir. He said that before it became too late, the international community should waste no time to address the current situation of Kashmir by resolving the issue in accordance with the principle of the right of self-determination to save the region from the scourge of war.

More than hundred people were injured when Indian forces used brute force to quell pro-freedom demonstrations across the Valley.

The APHC-AJK chapter organized Quran Khawani and Dua, today, at its headquarters here to pay homage to the prominent Kashmiri liberation leader and religious scholar, Mirwaiz Muhammad Yousaf Shah, on his 43rd death anniversary.

The speakers eulogized services of the late Mirwaiz for the cause of Kashmiris’ liberation movement and religion. Kashmiri leaders including Mehmood Ahmed Saghar, Ghulam Nabi Noshehri, Syed Yousuf Naseem, Professor Nazir Ahmed Shawl, Altaf Hussain Wani, Abdul Hameed Lone, Syed Faiz Naqashbandi, Muhammad Rafiq Dar, Mir Tahir Masood, Sheikh Muhammad Yaqoob, Abdul Majeed Malik, Manzoor-ul-Haq Butt and Kashmiri people belonging to different walks of life were present on the occasion.

The speakers paid homage to Kashmiri martyrs and vowed to continue their mission till its complete success.


Over fifty people were injured when CRPF troops and police burst teargas shells and opened fire upon protesters in Shopian. Hundreds of people after offering congregational Friday prayers at Jamai Masjid staged pro-freedom and anti-India demonstrations. They shouted, “We want freedom,” “Go India Go,” and other slogans. The people tried to march through the streets of the town. However, when they reached near Deputy Commissioner’s (DC) office, a heavy posse of Indian forces intercepted the protesters and used brute force against them.

At least a dozen pro-freedom demonstrators were injured in the action of paramilitary troops in Bijbehara, Sher Bagh, Srnal, Lazibal, Mattan, K P Road and other areas.Thousands of people defying curfews in Regipora, Darzipora, Jamia Kadeem, Trehgam, Handwara, Batergam, Muqam-e-Shah Wali (RA), Bumhama, Kulangam, Kralgund and other areas of Kupwara district staged forceful anti-India protests.

In Hyderpora, Soura, Khwaja Bagh, Sopore, Kunzer and Tangmarg areas dozens of people including women were injured in clashes between protesters and the paramilitary forces. The locals of Kunzer said that the troops and policemen barged into residential houses and ransacked household goods. A woman identified as Shamima Lone was hospitalised after being thrashed by the troops and police personnel.

“CRPF and policemen went on rampage. They barged into our residential houses and thrashed the inmates ruthlessly. They did not even spare women and children,” Abdul Majeed, a local said. “Windowpanes of more than two dozen houses were also damaged by the troops and police personnel,” he added.

Mobile services in Occupied State of Jammu & Kashmir are also not in operation for the last two months. People of North Kashmir have been facing communication blockade as no mobile service is functioning.

The services of neither private nor the government-run mobile companies have not been functioning in North Kashmir, which has been further adding to the miseries of the masses facing curfew and other restrictions imposed by the authorities.

Expressing grave concern over continued communication blockade, the people of different areas of North Kashmir told mediamen that the authorities had blocked the communication without any reason.

A civilian was shot dead by a member of Indian army patronized Village Defence Committee (VDC) in Rajouri district. The incident took place when the civilian, Abdul Shafiq and VDC member, Satpaul had a heated argument over some issue at Daraj Mohra in the district. The VDC member later took out his official gun and shot at Shafiq, killing him on the spot.


At least 43 children were injured in a road mishap when a speeding school bus skidded off the road and plunged into a gorge at Narian in Rajouri district. On the other hand, curfew was today clamped in Srinagar, Sopore and Kunzar-Tangmarg towns to thwart anti-India protests. “The curfew has been imposed in Srinagar, Sopore and Kunzar towns, a police officer told media men.” Shops, educational institutions, banks and private offices remained closed and traffic was off the roads.

The Chairman of Hyderabad based All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen and the member of Indian Parliament, Assaduddin Owaisi, has urged India to put an end to the killing spree and the human rights violations across occupied Kashmir.

Owaisi, in a telephonic interview with a Srinagar based daily, said that Indian troops had killed over 64 innocent Kashmiris including women, children and old-aged Kashmiris during the ongoing movement since last three months.

He said that India should revoke all the draconian laws like Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and Public Safety Act (PSA) due to which the troops were killing the people with impunity.

Pointing out that mammoth peaceful protests in the occupied territory showed Kashmiris’ anger against Indian oppression, he condemned the imposition of curfew in the territory to quell peaceful protests, which caused nuisance for the people. “People are being stopped to discharge even their religious duties,” he deplored.

India Deserves int'l pressure on Referendum in Kashmir

you fail to convince!

things will change for the better when occupational forces withdraw, and hindustan finally matures enough to the point where they will realize that granting occupied Kashmiris the existential right to self-determination is the only way forward --once hindustan did that, Pakistan would be compelled to do the same, even though we have no such protests on our side


iOK is a very artificial relationship....the people have no love or affection for hindustan, and it shows via the images and news reports coming out from there


and on that note, i commend the journalists who are covering and documenting the abuses being committed by the sissies

im sure a good chunk of your population --especially in rural areas, have little concern on Kashmir....does a dravidian tamil really feel affinity towards a Kashmiri? What about the Nagalandians


your post was emotional
