Sri Lankans express solidarity with Kashmiris

But I think Sri Lankans do credit Rajapaksa for getting rid of that decade or more long insurgency........

...and still kicked him out..they credited him..for sure,..but were fed up with his confrontational politics with India too..

That's Jordan's king beta. :D If Modi even dreams of Akhand Bharat, we will pour water on his head and wake him up. :P Extra troubles... :disagree: :P

...exactly....who the hell wants another crazy...bombastic 200million ppl to be added to its population,,,nothing is worth it..

A seminar titled "Kashmir Dispute in the Regional Perspective" was held in Colombo, last evening, to express support for the Kashmiri people on the occasion of Kashmir Solidarity Day.

The event was attended by a large number of participants including diplomats, members of academia, dignitaries, Pakistani community based in Sri Lanka and a large contingent of media personnel.

Prominent scholars including Mr. Jamal-ud-Din Chairman Kashmir Study Group, Ms. Ramla Wahab from Lakshman Kadirgamer Institute for International Relations and Strategic Studies, Senior analyst Mr. Ameen Izzadeen, expressed their views and participated in the panel discussion.

The speeches delivered by the eminent speakers underline that lasting peace in the world especially in the South Asian Region cannot be guaranteed unless Kashmir Issue is resolved in accordance with the wishes of Kashmiri people and the United Nations resolutions of 1948 and 1949.

The High Commissioner of Pakistan Maj. Gen. (R) Qasim Qureshi while speaking on the occasion, highlighted the significance of Kashmir issue and said that it was the main stumbling block in making SAARC an effective entity.

He noted that Kashmir issue is more relevant today, as it involves the principle of self determination and human rights of the Kashmiri people. The International Community is far more conscious of these principles today, than it was at any time in the past.

He explained that the purpose of this seminar was not to vilify any party to the dispute, but to draw attention towards the miseries of the Kashmiri people and to appeal to the international community to take cognizance of the urgency of resolving the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the aspirations of Kashmiri people.

Chairman Kashmir Study Forum Sri Lanka, Mr. Jamal ud Deen, said it was the obligation of the world community to ensure a United Nations sponsored plebiscite in Kashmir according to the wishes of the people of Kashmir. He decried the human rights violations have been committed by the Indian armed forces in occupied Kashmir for the past 6 decades.

He recalled that the complaint relating to Kashmir was initiated by India in the Security Council, however, India is reluctant to implement the resolution for past 64 years.

Ramla Wahab from Lakshman Kadirgamer Institute for International Relations and Strategic Studies highlighted the commercial and cultural roots of Kashmir and its significance as an important junction on the ancient silk route connecting China with Europe. She noted that the resolution of this dispute could usher in new vistas of progress and cooperation in the region. She underlined that integration of regional economies through revival of the ancient silk route was the best way forward for economic growth of not just Kashmir but all countries of south Asia.

Speaking on the occasion, senior analyst Ameen Izzadeen stressed that the peace loving people around the world were concerned about the sufferings of the Kashmir people. He said that the UN resolutions, which called for a plebiscite in Kashmir, warranted attention of the international community. He said that there was no legality in the claims that Kashmir is legally Indian Territory.

The message of the President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on the occasion of Kashmir Solidarity Day was read out to the audience by the Deputy High Commissioner, Mr. Sarfraz Ahmed Khan Sipra.

After the conclusion of seminar, the High Commissioner of Pakistan formally opened the photographic exhibition on Kashmir Solidarity Day, for the participants, who took keen interest in the photographs depicting the prevailing situation in the Indian held Kashmir. A video documentary related to the Kashmir situation was also screened for the participants.

Kashmir Solidarity Day is observed every year by Pakistan and Kashmiris around the globe on February 5 since 1990 to remind the international community and the United Nations of their promises made to Kashmiris decades back for holding a plebiscite and respecting aspirations of Kashmiri people.

Shabaash. Organized a seminar in Sri Lanka and did not engage a SINGLE SRI LANKAN. Congrats ISI. :enjoy:
 
Sri Lanka has no love for India, even if the current gov seems to want better relation with it. Sri Lankans blame India for supporting LTTE, and like Pakistan for giving it massive military support when they needed it most.

We just dont care sir.We have our own problems and limitations.We also dont need their affection.There is no permanent friends and allies only interest.
 
That's Jordan's king beta. :D If Modi even dreams of Akhand Bharat, we will pour water on his head and wake him up. :P Extra troubles... :disagree: :P

Awwww you paindu Kashmiri, there is a proper thread here on your PM planning on flying that rafale jet. :agree: :P

If you are serious pouring water on his head then just pretend its an Ice Bucket Challenge for charity. Otherwise I worry for your safety ;)

What a worthless effort of some desparate people.
Not even a single official from SL didnt participate in this event yet it become SL opinion.Actually OP might be in smoking .Which weed is that ? @samv :drag:
 
We just dont care sir.We have our own problems and limitations.We also dont need their affection.There is no permanent friends and allies only interest.

For once I read it like "there is no permanent friends and allies only internet" :D:D and then realised oh its interest.
 
Awwww you paindu Kashmiri, there is a proper thread here on your PM planning on flying that rafale jet. :agree: :P

If you are serious pouring water on his head then just pretend its an Ice Bucket Challenge for charity. Otherwise I worry for your safety ;)
Oh is he? In this age? o_O

Darn, and I was rejected by the Army Selection Board for deficient vision(color). :tsk: So forget about the AF. Guess, I will have to become the PM then. :whistle:
 
According to you, and a few Indians here. India's support for LTTE in the early to mid phases of the war are quite well known. It's only until it became clear that the LTTE would lose, that India decided to cease support for the LTTE. Even to this day, India still continues to accuse SL of genocide, and make excuses for the LTTE's atrocities.

That's a very poor understanding. Indian support to the LTTE was in the mid 1980's, ceased after the IPKF issue & ended completely after Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. Your claim of support to the LTTE post RG's assassination is beyond ridiculous.

India does not accuse SL of genocide, it is India that largely shielded the Sri Lankans from the west's attack. Publicly India has to be mindful of Tamil feelings but GoI went out of their way to help SL. All you have to do is see a map to understand that without India's help, SL had no chance whatsoever.
 
I worked with both Tamils and Sinhalese people and I can tell you that both sets did not hate me (being a Indian) but yes my Sinhalese friend did hate Tamils (but maybe he was a exception) I can not speak for everyone. Infact my Sinhalese co-worker used to give me lifts home in his car he was big softie at heart. (Although when I first met him he did ask me if I support the Tamils in Lanka lol) him being a big bastard I said I did not :enjoy:

As for the Tamils, I know many from Lanka and some who have been active in the war with the Tigers and the stories they told me about kidnapping while sleeping in their homes etc made them join the movement.

So for me I do not have a stance I just get both sets of opinions, I don't know why they hate each other and hope they can both live in peace.

So you have sinhala friends? That is interesting.
I know many find SL war complex. A lot of skewed information on SL is out. So i created a thread about SL war origins. Thought this might interets you

Origins of SL war

I am not saying this is 100% right. but thread article gives information that you do not see in media.
 
Make sure you don't 'celebrate' these events from now onwards. You don't wanna irritate us unnecessarily. Pak friends don't have you by the b@lls, we do. Remember that.
 
ya right..and i have to believe a guy on pakistan forum...get real dude..a bunch of rajapakse supporters could not stop us from installing a india friendly govt..so much for a county u call s*it hole..

S*it hole is s*it hole mate. There is no other word to tell it. Acknowledge it first. And BTW if you think that you people has topple MR government I don't think your happiness would last no more than couple of months. The sentiments are still alive and MR was just a one man. You have not topple the national sentiment. In fact you can't topple it.
 
Interesting, to see this shift in SL supporting occupiers of Srinagar valley so keenly, despite having seen so much brutality in their own country and suffering so much.

We don't need to respond to everything.
 
Thanks to people in Sri Lanka for voicing their support. South Asia will not put up with Hindu aggression.
