The Future of Kashmir? "Seven" Possible Solutions!

India offers dialogue to Kashmiris

* Amendments to Armed Forces Special Powers Act being drafted

* Forces’ relocation, employment package to be discussed at high-level meeting


By Iftikhar Gilani

NEW DELHI: Responding to unabated anti-India protests in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK), Indian Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram on Wednesday said that the government would reach out to protesters and expressed willingness to hold talks with “any group” that wished to engage in a dialogue.

Expressing concern that the government has not been able to stop the vicious cycle of violence in IHK, Chidambaram reiterated the need for a political solution to the situation. He said, “A starting point would be found in the next few days to reach out to protesters to reassure them of their rights.” The home minister also expressed the willingness to hold talks with “any group” wishing to come forward and willing to talk.

Amends to AFSPA: Sources in the government indicated a flurry of activity to devise measures to arrest spiraling violence in the region. Officials in the home and defence ministries had been discussing amendments to the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and redeployment of forces. The Defence Ministry had rejected the draft of amendments proposed by the Home Ministry, but, on the intervention of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the two ministries have agreed to work together to propose changes to the law.

Meeting: Sources also indicated that a high-level meeting has been scheduled in the next few days, during which the government will come out with specific measures to reach out to the protesters. “This includes relocation of security forces, employment and rehabilitation package as well as a fresh surrender policy,” they said.

IHK Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who is in New Delhi, met the home minister to discuss the situation in the state. He said that the violent protests should not be seen in the law and order situation context only, political initiatives should also be take at the earliest. He urged for an early amendment to the AFSPA and called for an employment package for IHK’s half a million unemployed youth. Abdullah asserted that the time was ripe for the Indian government to take a political approach on Kashmir, the sources said.

Responding to a question about his statement at a conference of police chiefs in which he had said that dialogue would be started “in a few days”, Chidambaram said, “I can’t give a date. Few days means few days. …Government hopes that it will be able to re-start the process of dialogue in the near future,” he added.

A country looking to catch up with the world powers has such a fragile democracy that it will expose itself by the actions of few ?

There is definitely something seriously wrong with Indias democratic values then.

Let people of Kashmir decide what they want. Until when you guys will supress their FREE WILL with bullets . :undecided:

West Pakistan was too eager to suppress the FREE WILL of East Pakistanis with bullets........

How come this love for "free will" all of a sudden????

At that time Pakistan was under military dictatorship that only knew the language of bullets.

OTOH, India has been a democracy ever since 47 and always advocated FREE WILL. Hence my remarks.

Anyway your post is off topic. the last time I checked, this thread was about Kashmir and not about E Pak or Balochistan or anything else.

Please dont derail the thread by off track posts :mod:
 
I tried to reply with much maturity and frankness. Sadly, people are busy here playing volcabulary games than discussing the issue at hand! :coffee:

And what about the free will of over a billion Indians?

Let's accept it. No body is a saint here. Neither am I, nor are you.

There's no such thing as free will when it comes to nations protecting their interests. The stand of pakistan "AWWWW...Poor Kahmiris, look Cruel India is killing them, suppressing them." is utter bullshit.

It's a game of chess, a game of cold-hearted interplay of interests and interests only. Here governments are the players and common man is the pawn. Like it always happens everywhere.

Pakistan has no more affinity to kashmiri people than it had towards east pakistanis. That's solely the reason why Pakistan actually insisted that independence be excluded as an option if and when a referendum occurs. DO answer my question, why did pakistan insist that independence not be made an option? Where did this free will go then?

100 baaton kee ek baat. Pakistan wants kashmir for it's own interest. India wants kashmir for its own interest. We have reached a deadlock. Dialogue is the only solution and that too of only one kind is possible. For that, you may refer to my earlier posts.

Problems are not solved by being emotional my friend. An emotional doctor only kills the patient!

To all pakistani friends please understand that India is democratic country and central govt has to seek vote after every five years. We are multi cultural society and even our muslim population doesnot want kashmir to go to pakistan. so no central govt can survive in india if any inch of kashmir land is given to anybody. if this is reality than we can spend our whole bugdet to protect our kashmir. If central govt doesnot protect kashmir it will loose elections and right to govern india. so no central govt can think of any other solution but to accept the status quo.
 
we are doing every bit to save our country from militants from your country....most of those who died in kashmir were nothing but militants sponsored from your land...just one thing....stay away from kashmir...dont force us to do a bangladesh to you again...

few lines for u........

apne ghar ki na aag bujhi....
auron ka ghar ye chale jalane....
apna jakham to abhi tbhara nahin
gair rahon pe chale kante beechhane
bangladesh to luta chuke ye
ab chale karachi lahore lutane


You cant say them militant because they are fighting for our cause and freedom from Secular India. So try not to ignore historic truth because before 1947 English also called militants to those who fight for freedom, (LEARN HISTORY FIRST).:hitwall::hitwall::hitwall:

You have no base to called them M* OR T*. :disagree:

Great nations ever faced problems & difficulties so we will face them but we are not like you who sits on the shoulder of US & Russia and firing behind these countries toward us. We are still standing and facing problems but not like you who's motto only to destabilize neighbors and smiling when there sth happened :tdown::tdown::tdown:

Who smiles will weep (Remember it)
 
Jiski laathi uski bhains.

I cannot put it in a simpler way. Currently India is the one in a position of strength very much unlike Pakistan. Obviously, India will dictate terms. If you want your position to be considered, then become powerful, pose a challenge to us and we will see!

As of now, pakistan is in no position whatsoever (either internally or externally) to enforce its will on India.

Excellent!

No wonder the bhains shyts a Mumbai attack every 5 years now...:azn:
