Pakistan decries India’s ‘high-handedness’ against Kashmiris

[A.Rafay]

ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan reacted cautiously on Monday to the hanging of Afzal Guru, expressing concerns over what it called “high-handed measures” by India in the wake of his execution to suppress the aspirations of Kashmiris”.
In the first official reaction since the controversial execution of the Kashmiri man accused of being behind the Indian Parliament attack in 2001, the foreign ministry said Pakistan would not go into details of the trial process.
“The matter is being discussed and debated by the media and human rights organisations,” the Foreign Office spokesman said in a carefully worded statement.
However, Moazzam Ali Khan added that Islamabad had serious concerns over the ‘coercive measures’ taken by India to suppress Kashmiris in the aftermath of Guru’s execution.
Guru, a fruit merchant, was hanged and buried in Delhi’s Tihar Jail on Saturday.
“We reaffirm our solidarity with the People of Jammu and Kashmir and express our serious concern on the high-handed measures taken by India in the wake of Afzal Guru’s execution to suppress the aspirations of Kashmiris by arrests and detention of Hurriyat leaders, curfew, news blackout and other coercive means,” Khan said in a statement.
He called for the lifting of “repressive measures and immediate release of Hurriyat leaders.”

After Guru

 

[KRAIT]

Pakistan should rather focus on convicting and hanging their own terrorists which they free every other day. Guru confessed and investigation revealed his involvement.

We will hang and kill all these terrorists. Even if he is from Kashmir or any part of the India.

Its just a start.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

The Arab spring should embolden Kashmiris to rise up against tyranny and we must go into overdrive over the next few years and lend both diplomatic and material support to Kashmiri nationalist groups (regardless of their religious or other affiliations)

From a moral perspective, it's stupid of the PPP govt to continue its apologetic/spineless approach towards diplomacy and its deafness and turning blind eye to indias constant badmashi vis a vis Occupied Kashmir

Unlike india - Pakistan is neither perceived as occupier nor is there any popular resentment against Pakistan on either side of the LoC (for obvious reasons)

 

[KRAIT]

Of course, how can one raise the voice where military dictators have ruled half the time. People are killed and bodies dropped in gunny bags. No accountability. TTP, BLA, LeT, JeM are the famous multinational Entrepreneurship arising from Pakistan.

Gunships and Air raids on their own tribal people.



There economy is tanking. Over 40,000 are killed in last 10 years and they are still trying for Kashmir.

Polio, measles, etc. spreading. Shias butchered. Karachi burning. Tribals killed. Economy heading to Bankruptcy.

I think you should focus more on your northeastern badlands. 2013 has gotten off to a rough start; several bombings and killings of your soldiers and citizenry are taking place there - and it isn't limited to just Manipur or Assam.

You seem to ignore the words of your own prime minister who conceded that the single largest threat to your national integrity comes from within india itself, not externally.

Oh now you quote Indian Prime Minister. he also says that Pakistan is safe haven for terrorists.

And NE is already controlled. Maoists are brought down.

You take care of your land, we take care of ours. 2013 started with 100+ Shias killed.

I think you forgot lashkar invasion of 1947 when laskhars indulged in widespread looting and atrocities in Kashmir.

Action against TTP is regularly undertaken by both Army and FC

BLA (supported by your side) is a dying breed. More Baloch are enlisting in the security services than they are with BLA (which has more Baloch blood on its hands than non Baloch)

With Governors Rule imposed, the security forces can at any time target such groups (proxy groups, sectarian groups and what have you) when the order is given.

Talking of heavy handedness.

 

[Contrarian]

We should support Balochi's as well. Quid Pro Quo.

Who is using airforce to kill their own people right now, certainly not Indians.

Some Pundits did suffer though many Pundits today are on record as saying that New Delhi exaggerated the extent to which they were being displaced

Since Kashmir is split between both sides it's only natural that citizens of Azad J&K would heed to the calls of their comrades across the LoC during times of war. Most Pakistanis also would support such, especially when the enemy started deploying its troops in a land foreign to them

We should support Balochi's as well. Quid Pro Quo.

You already have been trying since 70s much to no avail. Today only 2 of 28 districts of Balochistan have any major unrest attributed to BLA/BRA terrorism.

Baloch are much better informed now.

Keep up the "support" we'll see how it all works for you when your NATO induced "cover" in Afghanistan no longer exists post 2014

That's when I believe the real fun will begin

 

[KRAIT]

Well after NATO pull out, so many mercenaries for hire. More TTP will be formed.

But then why are militants are mostly Punjabis. Azad Kashmir is a territory without any Azaadi.

Few days back I read a BBC article giving details about founders of militants groups fighting in Kashmir in 1990s, and after America invaded Afghanistan, how they merged into Pakistani Taliban attacking Pakistan army and killing Shias in Pakistan.

You indians are killing eachother on religious grounds, caste grounds, regional grounds.... You don't even need naxals or Assamese or bodo separatists to rise the kill counts when you mugs are doing it anyways

I believe IA aviation wing does do some limited air ops against naxals in Orissa/Jharkand etc. in fact one was brought down recently via small arms fire
