when bhartyas were posting non-stop (what we say in urdu andha dhund) there have you seen many posts from my side on that thread ??


I posted one reply

"UK dwara parmarant"

 

[Spring Onion]

Its a statement made by one of Ban ki Moon's spokespersons. Not the main one at that. Its the same Farhan Haq, who earlier had sent e-mails containing controversial remarks to Pakistani newspapers about the latest unrest in Kashmir. UN later clarified those remarks as the personal opinion of Mr Haq and not those of the Sec-Gen.

Btw, Mr Farhan Haq is a US citizen of Pakistani descent. Given his actions in the past, one needs to take his comments with a pinch of salt.

So you say we should accept bharti claim based on speech of UK official your former gora sahab ?

Hmm Jana, looks like you are under the impression that present-day Pakistan was colonized by Martians before 1947???????

The Telegraph - Calcutta (Kolkata) | Frontpage | Pak mission behind an ‘omission’

New York, Nov. 15: Pakistan’s acting permanent representative to the UN, Amjad Hussain Sial’s pretension in the General Assembly last Thursday that “an inadvertent omission” in the annual report of the Security Council had left out Kashmir as “one of the oldest disputes on agenda of the Security Council” is a desperate attempt by Islamabad to revive the issue in the UN.

Pakistan sees its hope of once again internationalising the dispute through the UN fade rapidly as India prepares to join the Security Council for a two-year term next January and campaigns for a permanent seat in the council, a claim now endorsed by US President Barack Obama.

But by admitting in a General Assembly speech that the UN was no longer seized of the Kashmir issue, instead of lobbying quietly for its re-inclusion, Sial has alerted the world to Pakistan’s predicament and may have seriously damaged his country’s pet cause against India.

A thorough review of UN records by this reporter following Sial’s statement has revealed that throughout this new millennium the annual reports of the Security Council had never even once mentioned Kashmir by name.

A review of the secretary-general’s annual report on the work of the UN has also not cited the Kashmir dispute since 2005. In that last year when Kashmir figured in the report, it was only in the context of welcoming a resumption of bilateral dialogue between India and Pakistan, a reference that was favourable to New Delhi.

A European ambassador to the UN, echoing the near-unanimous view at the UN, told this reporter today that as an issue before the world body, Kashmir was “dead as a dodo”. Kofi Annan had admitted when he was secretary-general that Security Council resolutions on Kashmir “cannot be enforced and are not self-implementable”.

The latest Security Council report, the subject of Sial’s pretension, does not mention Kashmir by name even when a passing reference to the Indian state would have been routine in the course of the council’s work. In a reflection of general weariness at the way Islamabad continues to revive this “dead dodo”, the report curiously used the euphemism “the India Pakistan question” when Kashmir actually cropped up in an obscure communication.

The mention of “the India Pakistan question” surfaced in a chapter on “Matters brought to the attention of the Security Council but not discussed at meetings of the Council during the period covered” in Part V of the 230-page annual report.

It was occasioned by a letter from Syria’s permanent representative to the UN, Bashar Jaafari, to secretary-general Ban Ki-moon merely conveying the final communiqué of an annual meeting of foreign ministers of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) in New York last year.

Although Syria is a friend of India’s, Jaafari had to send the communication to Ban in his capacity as chair of the OIC group in New York. The communiqué called for implementation of UN resolutions on Kashmir, but it was quietly filed away by whoever received it here and no action was taken.

In New Delhi, the ministry of external affairs said “we condemn and reject” the OIC communiqué, adding that “the OIC has no locus standi in matters concerning India’s internal affairs.”

UN reports continue to mention the UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) set up under UN resolutions, but notes that there were no resolutions about it in 2009-2010.

The Pakistani diplomat who spoke in the General Assembly last week may have had no option in the matter. It is the policy of the Asif Zardari government and the present leadership of the army in Rawalpindi to do everything possible to internationalise Kashmir. But at the UN at least, it is strategy that is failing, at least for now.

November 2010

It's one of the world's longest-running conflicts, defined by daily street battles and accusations of military abuse. Once again levels of violence have risen with daily battles raging - terror on Srinagar's tired streets?

"What do you think we're fighting for?! Freedom!", cries one of the masked young men preparing to take on the armed police in Srinigar. Once famed for its beauty, the Kashmir valley is now a joyless place of angry streets and automatic rifles. Frustrated over the remaining presence of Indian security forces, seemingly immune to the law. Angry young men and women taking to the streets to fight against "Indian occupation". The police have responded with force, and more than 100 people have died. We hear from the heartbroken family of an eight year old boy, who was beaten to death by the police for breaking the curfew: "a stick was thrust into his mouth, and his teeth were broken". The police deny all allegations, and insist that they "use plastic and rubber bullets". It's not what the video shows! Yet the alleged brutality has radicalised a wide cross-section of the community. The Indian Government says it has appointed three peace envoys in an attempt to calm things. Yet Kashmiris say peace is not what India wants: "the answer unfortunately to every rising in Kashmir is bullets".

That was great - I can't tell you how funny that news piece was, absolutely precious. I promise I had not laughed out loud at something I read on the forum - just too cute.

I dont see why anyone needs to feel elated.. Kashmir Issue; regardless whether its going to be included in the UN agenda is not going to be solved anyhow. Indians will not relenquish their hold over it to pakistan and Pakistan will not stop trying to claim kashmir for their own.

Both indians and pakistanis have claim over kashmir. For those pakistani religious pundits who claim their hold over kashmir due to its religious majority needs to recognise if needed; india can raise a similiar claim. India currently holds the second largest muslim population in the world, second to indonesia.

As i mentioned in one of my previous posts , the elevated regions of Kashmir gives a huge tactical advantage to anyone controlling it. To surrender that kind of significant location to a country where "anti india" propaganda is the order of the day would be nothing short of madness. Not to mention the copious amount of indian blood shed trying to defend the territory would be in vain.

If asked to predict the future, i will say that the kashmir issue will remain exactly where it is at present and can never be resolved until of the rival states collapses. The conflict will remain in the UN agenda as one of the oldest rivalries but that will be it. Dont expect any real solutions as both parties are highly unwilling to compromise. UN cannot go in favour of either party simply because

Pakistan is host to numerous terror outfits and a stable unbiased government is needed to combat the terrorist threat both internal and western. India cannot be made an enemy as it holds a significant position in the international trade/defence/education scenario.

I always knew that this was coming. Anyways I won't mind such celebrations of hypothetical victory from the Indian side if they help them to sleep well.
