The J&K attacks: No intention for peace

[Zarvan]

It was a dark day for Jammu and Kashmir - 4 coordinated strikes in Soura, Pulwama, Uri and Shopian as polling in the state elections are underway. Eleven brave security personnel died defending an army camp in Uri - 8 terrorists were gunned down and 2 Kashmiri citizens were killed in a grenade attack. The target was clear - the terrorists aimed to undermine the elections after high voter turnout was recorded in the first two phases. Overwhelming evidence has been gathered - in terms of arms, ammunition and personal effects, which point to the fact that these terrorists came from Pakistan.



At the same time, on the other side of the border, 26/11 mastermind and UN declared terrorist Hafiz Saeed held a rally in Lahore and threatened India saying that unless the Kashmir dispute was resolved - 'jihad' against India will continue. Saeed's rally was in fact widely advertised across Pakistan and the government even provided special trains for people to attend the event.



How can peace be achieved in such a scenario? How will anyone believe Nawaz Sharif next time when he says he wants peace with India? With almost no cooperation on anti-terrorism, Pakistan has repeatedly breached the red lines set by the Indian government. It escalated ceasefire violations and even tried to legitimise Kashmiri separatists a few months back - with its envoy holding talks with them in Delhi - despite opposition from the Indian government. India rightly called off the Secretary level talks as Pakistan dared to engage parties who are no longer stakeholders in the Kashmir dispute - their calls for boycotting the elections falling on deaf ears, while they don't even have the gumption to prove their political mettle in the polls.



The attacks in J&K are clearly a campaign against democracy - an attempt to deter the citizenry from owning and embracing it. The Pakistan government is clearly uninterested in allowing it to succeed - as instability in the state allows it to maintain the Kashmir issue as a 'dispute' on the international stage. But even keeping Pakistan out of the equation - these attacks are an open challenge to India.



The question before us is - How strong is our devotion to democracy?



Indian democracy is the cornerstone of the nation's identity - it is what defines us as a free and pluralistic society and sets us apart from theocracies where the façade of democracy is practiced. As Indians we are taught this and as we grow up we understand it and value it. I am confident - Indian citizens in J&K will face this challenge head on and show the same valour our brave soldiers displayed, defending Indian democracy by coming out and voting.



Bruised and bloodied our faith will endure. We will not cower - we will not forget - we will not forgive.

I am not panic, but people of J&K make those separatist and terrorist panic by casting their votes in huge percentage.

Firstly, General Hafz Saeed is the spokesman of the Pakistani Establishment. That must be made clear. So any hope of collaring this bozo is out of the question. I wouldn't be surprised if his recent rally in Lahore was sponsored by the ISI. His rants against India, the U.S. and Israel were as per the written script (He was seen reading it out!)

Secondly, fingering India is the cornerstone of Pakistan's doctrine as 'revenge' for India breaking up Pakistan in 1971.

Thirdly, the only way the Pakistanis can be kept together is not just by religion, but Kashmir. Nothing else matters. Health, education, poverty alleviation, infrastructure development, energy etc be damned. It's Kashmir or bust!

Fourthly, does the Pak Army want the Kashmir issue to be resolved? NO! Because if it ever is, then what would be the fate of the PA/ISI? What would be their raison d'etre? They owe their very existence to their enmity with India. They would lose their exalted status in Pakistan society and the enormous power they wield in government and be relegated to the background. Defence budgets would be slashed and new gizmos would be hard to come by. Now, who wants to lose power and pelf?

So, guys, this proxy war against India by Pakistan will continue till the cows come home. The 'good' terrorists being their 'strategic assets' will keep coming and getting killed by the dozens. This tactic hurts not the PA but the poor mercenary sods being sent across the borders as cannon fodder, while Gen Hafiz Saeed rants and raves against the infidels!

Guess what ? Kashmir on this side of border is not happy with Pakistani politics but they are happy that they have now their own governing system with no headache of defense spendings as Pakistan is doing it well there.. They have their own governing system with own PM.. Pakistanis can't build houses there unless they marry there... and be a part of kashmiri nationalism, no Pakistani even big butt generals can't have a home/property there.. unlike the IOJ&K where lot of indians are occupying the land just like israel... overall, we are happy family here...

Gimme a break my friend. Article 370 of the Indian constitution regarding J&K clearly mentions that no one outside the state can buy property there. I wonder where you got your false info from?

Read and research before shooting from the hip!

 

[sathya]

When the election results are declared ?

That's right - about a hundred are attacking, and about six million are voting.

@PakGuns: Your post tells me that Pakistan's motto ought to be "Ignorance is bliss."

Non Kashmiri Indians are constitutionally prohibited from purchasing land in Kashmir. It's not even the law that prohibits it, it's the constitution itself. Do read article 370 of the Indian constitution. Whoever taught you that crap you wrote, lied to you.

I just love such delusional bharati posts. Funny. People voted more so to keep BJP out of the valley than to show love for india or something like that. In the case of boycott BJP might have sneaked into the valley with the help of Kashmiri pandits.

More voting means lower chances of BJP winning.

The chances of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) opening its account in Kashmir Valley appear dim in view of the high percentage of polling in last three phases of Assembly elections.

Waisai Maulana tum bhi tareeqai kai ch*tyai ho. Why you keep posting propaganda articles and news pieces of the Bharatis? Do you agree with the lies they propagate or something?

Its a internal politics of India, not related to you.

But delusional pakistani should understand that with this huge percentage of voting their cry about Kashmir will become laughing stock in world. More you cry more people will laugh on you.

It is from occupied Kashmir. More related to us than anything.

But delusional pakistani should understand that with this huge percentage of voting their cry about Kashmir will become laughing stock in world. More you cry more people will laugh on you.

Pakistani know the background of high voting and just laugh on delusional bharatis who think people are voting for some lost love for India or something like that.
