PTI-led govt will prioritise Kashmir problem: Imran Khan

[AstanoshKhan]

What exactly will happen if Pakistan prioritises Kashmir? What difference will that make if India doesn't reciprocate?

Just give the statement below a though and report back.

“Both the countries [Pakistan and India] have been spending their wealth on weapons instead of investing in their people,” Imran said.

You are right Karan. There is no solution that will make both countries happy! Thats why we are in this mess since 1947!

Actually what Imran khan said an year back made sense.. Put Kashmir on backburner and learn to live with each other. Once you do that, solving prickly issues will be much easier and the probability of success much higher..

But as always, politics trumps common sense every where in the world

He wants to be PM of Pakistan. Do you think anyone in India cares what he says about what India should do? ...btw, how is that new, doesn't it hold good now?

That's not a workable solution, that's just a pipe dream.

All, workable solutions start as a pipe dream. You, know what the result would be if there is a referendum in Kashmir today under UN. That won't happen because India has a huge military stranglehold, but for how long? - Military has NEVER been a solution to a conflict in entire human history. It, just prolongs the suffering of the people, the end result will still be a political settlement. S.Asia wont sleep peacefully until Kashmir issue is solved, and would never realize its real economical and strategic potential because of infighting and proxy wars. One, day there is going to be a political settlement or just another few decades of egoistic, proxy wars and then the end again would be a political settlement.

Actually solution to Kashmir is a lose lose proposition for both India and Pakistan.. Cynical, I agree, but True, I believe. There is no solution that will make all segments (and there are a bunch of them on both sides) happy.. An equilibrium has been attained on status quo. If disturbed, it may or may not solve the issue, but will definitely fu*k up the environment for a few decades. And this time around, India seems to be shedding off the shackles of morality for a similar asymmetrical response to proxy war.. So any move in any direction will end up in huge pain on all sides (but maximum for Kashmiris) before any gain can be made

Recognizing LOC as an International border is the only practical solution at the moment. Lets just agree to keep it that way for atleast next 2 decades and when both the countries are mature enough, we will sort it out peacefully.

I do not know about India, but Pakistan can no longer afford this hostility.

People have been sleeping properly regardless of the Kashmir issue.... Nothing will happen anytime soon. Not an astrologer to predict distant future but Imran Khan is not talking about a distant future, he is talking about now. Pipe dream, if yours is the solution offered.

You cant have the referendum since Pakistan refused to fulfill the pre condition for that plebiscite for full 5 years before India walked out of the deal.

Having said, that, for a political settlement you would need

1. A strong Pakistani leader who really wants to solve Kashmir issue
2. A strong Indian leader who really wants to solve Kashmir issue
3. Both of them finding a compromise that they both agree to
4. Their ability to sell that compromise to 2 countries who have been brought up hating each other on this precise issue

I am not a betting man, but I dont like the odds of the above conditions.. The only alternative is if one of the 2 countries ceases to be significant in the scheme of things (which again can not happen till Nukes are on the table)

Neither can India.. The problem is that there are too many vested interests around this conflict that will fight hard to prevent any kind of settlement. You should watch a bollywood movie called Lamha. While it has the standard bias towards India, some of the points made in the movie are very real. I spend a lot of time in Srinagar and have some old family connections.. Believe you me, that Kashmir conflict today is a full blown industry with annual turnover more than some large states of India and Pakistan..

Another reason to vote for IK. PTI and IK FTW.

pak has many times ask India to solve this problem but India is a desperate bharati that wont let go. They have the hindutva groups hitler youth style and imran thinking oh we just go over have cup of tea and solve it This is a nation that has no sharam actually quite proud of being colonized and raped by British and to this day they wear skin whitening cream. when Olympics were in india they had no shame and were treating their people like rats and wooing the europeans forget it. we also had the babri masjid episode. This is shining India bollywood supar powar i rather stick with zardari.

Someone told me that we were very close to striking a deal with India to fix it up and then the govt changed. I, am sick of this madness and i am in no mood for being consumed in another stupid conflict based on Kashmir. I, just wish that one day the saner heads will prevail and if not us, our kids will be able to live in a free, friendly and integrated S.Asia.

The more IK give such statements, the least I hope from him.

We have a messed up country with decades old problems and he claims to solve everything as if everything is so easy... be more practical IK - you will gain more votes if you are realistic in your claims
