AJK PM advises Pakistan to give up ‘Kashmir first’ policy



By Rauf Klasra

ISLAMABAD: In a major policy shift, the AJK Prime Minister, Raja Farooq Haider, has advised Pakistan not to link the ongoing negotiations with India with the resolution of the Kashmir dispute and instead first resolve the small irritants and controversial issues before finally sorting out the core issue of Kashmir.

He also backed the proposal to give the status of ‘Most Favourite Nation’ (MFN) to India and allow New Delhi to use Pakistani soil as a transit route for trade purposes. India had already given MFN status to Pakistan but Islamabad never reciprocated this gesture on the ground that unless Kashmir was resolved, it would not confer this status on New Delhi.

Raja Farooq told The News that Pakistan and India should maintain the status quo on Kashmir for some time, as he believed that they should resolve other issues before taking up Kashmir. He said it would be wiser for Pakistan to wait for the right time to restart negotiations on Kashmir.

The AJK prime minister also strongly backed the inclusion of India in the Pak-Iran gas project and transit facility for India to trade with Afghanistan. Raja Farooq repeatedly explained that he was giving this advice because he believed that this was not the right time for Pakistan to press for a Kashmir settlement. At the moment, he said, Pakistan was facing a formidable security challenge from the militants and was not in a position to effectively fight the case of Kashmir at this important juncture of history.

Interesting title, the article is something else though. Yes, the PM asked to 'drop' the 'Kashmir First' policy, in favour of developing Pakistan (including AJK), it would be better for both (AJK & Pakistan) to resolve one issue at a time and build up trust before moving onto Kashmir as the main topic for discussion. Yes, Pakistan is fighting against TTP, but why would the PM say this? Because, we feel Pakistani, Pakistan is our nation, Kashmir is our homeland (if that makes sense).

Asim could you provide me with some more details? Where is it starting and when? It saddens me I chose not to go Kashmir this year Please link me to any sources, If there is one next year I will hopefully be able to participate.

It is called the "Islamabad Chalo" march. Lol India's even falsely quoting it in their media as the "Anantnag Chalo" protest. Indian government has enforced the use of Anantnag district over Islamabad district in Kashmir, due to their Pakistan complex. Only Indian maps refer to it as Anantnag, the locals all call it Islamabad. Hence Islamabad chalo.

Not without the consent of the Kashmiris, the day they say they are happy with being as they are, we will declare the LoC to be the international border, until that day comes, we cannot give up, we have to honour the expectations of our Kashmiri brothers...........

 

[Awesome]

How focussed the Indians are to make this about Pakistan and totally ignoring the pissed off Kashmiris.

I see a sinister design by the separatist…how come the violence before Shri Amarnath Yatra. Is there any religious angle to it?

 

[Awesome]

If Indians were smart about this, they would at least fire and perhaps even jail Omar Abdullah immediately. That would ensure a massive pacification to these riots.

It is the right thing to do after his government has repeatedly been caught engaged in fake encounters. And if he got his orders from someone in New Delhi, then they should also be jailed.

But of course India is all about tyranny and with each move it proves just that to the Kashmiris. It is rewarding murderers and punishing the victims.

Omar Abdullah is legally elected representative of the people and not a dummy one to throw at whims

Nobody denies your right as a global citizen but this will lead you no where.

Kashmir issue is going to be a big foreign policy failure for Pakistan in coming years. Sooner or later even Pakistan has to understand that raising hate slogans from Islamabad is not going to solve Kashmiri peoples problems.

Please see last link i posted and see how Indian media has gone in detail and has played its role to understand the situation from CM himself. There is elected govt and centre has already expressed that there are many genuine issues with protesters but at the same time people are conspiring to use Kashmiris as pawns.

He is also complicit in murders and against whom the entire nation of Kashmir is protesting!

It is common that elected representatives’ popularity vacillates year on year. But, they are mandated by the people to represent them for a fixed period

god..you definitely are a great strategist..

Yeah thats right..what an example of selective reading..The FAKE ENCOUNTERblah came into picture because of transparency which of course you wont agree to because it does not fit to your propaganda..

But of course India is all about tyranny and with each move it proves just that to the Kashmiris. It is rewarding murderers and punishing the victims.


Its better for me to not touch this issue.because if i start to write on your side , it will not go well with many of you..

It has not been proved yet. Until proven he is elected leader. One cannot be prosecute based on allegations
