There is nothing about 'expiration' in the Durand agreement. That is a lie concocted by some Afghan expansionists. Go ahead, look it up and show me instead of regurgitating flawed Afghan/Indian anti-Pakistan talking points.

No one other than those Afghan nationalists considers the Durand anything but an international border. If certain Afghans wish to claim that the Durand is expired and therefore FATA and K-P are disputed, then they need to take their case to the UN or some other international body and have resolutions passed or judgments issued in their favor.

Till then they can rant about 'expired' all they want.

Agreement
between
His Highness Amir Abdul Rahman Khan, G.C.E.I
Amir of Afghanistan and its Dependencies, on the one part, and Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, K.C.I.E., C.S.I.

Mar 11, 2005 ... The agreement was only for 100 years and it expired in 1993. Moreover as early as 1949, Afghanistan's Loya Jirga declared the Durand Line

September 2005, President Pervez Musharraf called for the building of a fence delineating the border, which met with opposition from Pashtuns political groups and Afghanis who view the border as illegitimate.

For decades Afghanistan has been disputing the Durand Line with the Afghan historians claiming that the agreement expired in January 1993 after completing 100 years.
The Unholy Durand Line

“Kabul has refused to renew the Durand Line treaty since 1993 when it expired, "

I am fine with that, are you?

With the status-quo? No I am not.

I am fine with recognizing the 'disputed status' and resolving the dispute on lines other than the 'status-quo' demarcation, but that obviously is out of my hands.

The Unholy Durand Line

Where is the text of the Durand Agreement that references an expiration date? Preferably not from a site called the 'unholy Durand' - didn't you sense a hint of bias there?

We do not recognize any disputed status. The whole of Kashmir is our land including P-O-K, as said by GoI. What do you suggest we do, to resolve this matter for ever?

How does the media know they were LeT instead of some other group?

Dont know.. May be Army told them based on evidences from the body..

There are threads that discuss ways in which the dispute could be resolved on lines other than the status-quo demarcation, I have offered my opinions there as have others.

On India's recognition, or lack of, of J&K's disputed status - the fact that Pakistan controls a third of the territory and there are pending resolutions calling for a plebiscite indicate otherwise. Just because India says so does not make it so.

Like LeT tattoos or name tags?

Probably not. Its likely just a move to build on India's continuing 'Pakistan is not acting against LeT' propaganda.

 

[karan.1970]

FATA, Swat and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa are not occupied and disputed territory.

- Disputed status (not recognized by GOI) does not legitimize terror attacks
- Disputed or not, its a part of India, run under the writ of Indian constitution and IA has been authorised by GOI to apprehend and kill terrorists, which they are doing. What anyone in Pakistan says has no bearing or impact on it.
- You need to read my whole text to see the context in which I drew the parallel..

Go to war and settle it once and for all

Who cares whether it was tattoos or text or ISI propoganda material on them, or tactics or may be one of them was captured and executed after interrogation..

.. If Indians trust IA to keep us safe in India, we trust them when they say they killed 6 terrorists.. What ever any one else says, really doesnt matter to us...
