Imran Khan go back: Massive protests humiliate Pakistan PM in POK Hundreds of people in Muzzafarabad chanted 'Imran Khan go back' as they showed just what they thought of the Pakistan PM's false claims and sympathies. ...... Instead of the cheers he had hoped for his lies, hundreds of people began chanting slogans which revealed their opinion of him. "Imran Khan go back," they yelled in unison.
Five proofs that Pakistan PM Imran Khan has 'surrendered' PoKPakistan PM Imran Khan has launched Kashmir solidarity rallies on Friday to prove his country stands with Kashmiris. But analysing his recent remarks and moves on Kashmir indicates he is gradually losing the plot.
Imran Khan is like Michael Corleone right after his father died, one hand tied. He is in a very tight spot. He is head of state in a country where Benazir Bhutto was assassinated and Pervez Musharraf almost was: two attempts in one week while he was military dictator. Those who propose he take the terrorist bull by the horns should take note.
58 countries joined Pakistan in asking India to lift restrictions in Kashmir: Imran Khan
“For teams like Pakistan, India, and the West Indies,” Khan writes in his autobiography, “a battle to right colonial wrongs and assert our equality was played out on the cricket field every time we took on England.”
Into this gladiatorial arena, shirt open, eyes bedroom-y, hair long and tousled, stepped Khan. He was one of those rare figures, like Muhammad Ali, who emerge once a generation on the frontier of sport, sex, and politics. “Imran may not have been the first player to enjoy his own cult following,” writes his biographer Christopher Sandford, “but he was more or less single-handedly responsible for sexualizing what had hitherto been an austere, male-oriented activity patronized at the most devoted level by the obsessed or the disturbed.”
In 1996, after years of turning down pleas from established politicians and military dictators eager to align themselves with his celebrity, Khan launched his own political party. In its first election, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, or PTI—which translates as the Movement for Justice—won zero seats in parliament. Five years later, Khan won one seat, his own. Even by 2013, with his personal popularity at an all-time high, the PTI won only 35 seats. For 20 years, he had been telling his friends and well-wishers that “the next time you come to Pakistan, I will be prime minister.” But four elections had come and gone, two marriages had collapsed in their wake, and the quest of this aging playboy to be his country’s premier was no nearer its end.
armor Pakistan against its own elites, whose “slavish” imitation of Western culture had instilled in them a “self-loathing that stemmed from an ingrained inferiority complex.”
“An emotion that he feels very strongly about is that we should stop feeling enslaved to the West mentally,” said Ali Zafar, Khan’s friend and Pakistan’s biggest pop star. “He feels that since he’s gone there—he’s been there and done that—he knows the West more than anybody else over here. He’s telling them, ‘Look, you’ve got to find your own space, your own identity, your own thing, your own culture, your own roots.’ ”
I first spoke with Khan at a party in London, when I was 25. At the time I was dating Ella Windsor, a minor member of the British royal family who was a family friend of the Goldsmiths. To see Khan out and about in London—the legend himself—was to understand how truly at home he was among the highest echelons of British society. The English upper classes adore cricket—it is one of the many coded ways in which their class system works—and the allure of the former captain of the Pakistani cricket team was still very real. The night we met, in late summer 2006, Khan had come to a party at a Chelsea studio overlooking the Moravian burial ground. On that balmy evening, surrounded by the silhouettes of plane trees, it was clear that Khan, five years after 9/11, was in the throes of a religious and political transformation. ...... He said he believed that suicide bombers, according to “the rules of the Geneva Convention,” had the right to blow themselves up. Here, I remember feeling, was a man who had dealt so little in ideas that every idea he had now struck him as a good one.
Khan has a commanding presence. He fills a room and has a tendency to speak at people, rather than to them; never was there a greater mansplainer. What he lacks in intelligence, however, he makes up for in intensity, vigor, and what feels almost like a kind of nobility. ...... “You might say he’s a duffer; you might say he’s a buffoon,” his second wife, Reham, told me over lunch in London. “He doesn’t have intelligence of economic principles. He doesn’t have academic intelligence. But he’s very street, so he figures you out.” Like his coeval in the White House, Khan has been reading people all his life—on and off the field. This knowing quality, combined with the raw glamour of vintage fame, creates a palpable tension in his presence. The air bristles; oxygen levels crash. The line is taut, if no longer with sex appeal, then its closest substitute: massive celebrity.
But to see him two years later in the old city of Lahore, doing more dips in the gym at 55 than I could do at 27, watching him fawned over by young and old men alike, was to feel myself in the company of a demigod. Alone with him, I was struck by that mixture of narcissism bordering on sociopathy that afflicts those who have been famous too long. His utter lack of emotion when it came to Bhutto—whom he had been at Oxford with, and had known most of his life—was startling. “Look at Benazir,” he told me as we drove through Lahore one morning, past knots of mourners and protesters. “I mean, God really saved her.” Then he began fulminating against Bhutto for having agreed to legitimize General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan’s military dictator, in return for the government dropping corruption charges against her.
Now it is Khan who has been appointed, presiding over a government in which there are no fewer than 10 Musharraf-era ministers.
Khan, Rushdie said, was “placating the mullahs on one hand, cozying up to the army on the other, while trying to present himself to the West as the modernizing face of Pakistan.”
“You know me,” he said. “I’m a liberal; I’ve got friends in India; I’ve got friends who are atheists. But you’ve got to be careful here.”
My uncle—the grandson of Muhammad Iqbal, Khan’s political hero
Like evangelicals in the United States, in whom a politicized faith conceals an uneasy relationship with modernity and temptation, Khan’s contradictions are not incidental; they are the key to who he is, and perhaps to what Pakistan is.
His hatred of the “ruling elite,” to which he belongs, is the animating force behind his politics. He faults reformers, such as Turkey’s Kemal Ataturk and Iran’s Reza Shah Pahlavi, for falsely believing that “by imposing the outward manifestations of Westernization they could catapult their countries forward by decades.”
Khan may be right to critique a modernity so thin that it has come to be synonymous with the outward trappings of Western culture. But he is himself guilty of reducing the West to little more than permissiveness and materialism. When it comes to its indisputable achievements, such as democracy and the welfare state, Khan conveniently grafts them on to the history of Islam. “Democratic principles,” he writes, “were an inherent part of Islamic society during the golden age of Islam, from the passing of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and under the first four caliphs.”
Khan is not the first Islamic leader to insist that all good things flow from Islam and that all error is the fault of the West. But to do so is to end up with a political program that is by necessity negative, deriving its energy not from what it has to offer but from its virulent critique of late-stage capitalism. “The life that had come to Islam,” V.S. Naipaul wrote almost 40 years ago in Among the Believers, for which he traveled extensively in Pakistan, “had not come from within. It had come from outside events and circumstances, the spread of the universal civilization.” Khan’s repurposing of Iqbal serves in part as an inoculation against the West, and in part as a cudgel with which to beat Pakistan’s elite. But it does not amount to a serious reckoning with the power of the West, or with the limitations of one’s own society. As such, it cannot bring about the “cultural, intellectual, and moral renaissance” that Khan yearns for. Under his version of khudi, people genuflect toward Islam but quietly continue to lead secret Western lives.
“He’s a stooge of the army,” a journalist in Islamabad told me. The journalist, who has known Khan for years, once counted himself among the cricketer’s greatest fans. “I consider myself to be that unlucky person who built a dream about an individual and saw it shattered before my eyes,” he said.
In 2013, after years of military rule, Pakistan finally achieved what it never had before: a peaceful transfer of power. These signs of a maturing democracy, however, posed a direct threat to the power of the military, which began, in the words of Husain Haqqani, Pakistan’s former ambassador to the United States, to develop the art of the “non-coup coup.” That, the journalist said, is “where the unholy alliance between Imran Khan and the establishment began.” The following year, Khan led what are called the dharna days—months of protest calling for the overthrow of Pakistan’s democratically elected government.
Whatever else can be said about Khan, he inspires hope the likes of which Pakistan has not known for a long time.
...... “Up until that point,” Noon said, “we had no hope in the system. We all felt that this guy means well, but he’s not going to get anywhere.”
“From the generals’ point of view, things could not be better,” observed Haqqani, the former ambassador. “They have an ostensibly civilian government in place, which can get the blame for Pakistan’s myriad problems, while the generals run the government.” Khan has called out the army on its support of terrorist groups and was nothing short of statesmanlike earlier this year in calming tensions between India and Pakistan. In late July, Khan scored another coup during a White House meeting with Trump. The dynamic between the two philandering narcissists was positively electric.
The greatest challenge of Khan’s tenure, however, is whether he can find a way to get his debt-ridden country out of the doldrums of economic despair.
“The pattern we see again and again,” Hamid said, “is the rise of the charismatic leader who thinks he knows best—even better than the military—and then is undone by the military.”
In 1981, Naipaul wrote of Pakistan, “The state withered. But faith didn’t. Failure only led back to the faith.” Now, almost 40 years later, Imran Khan is once again making the case for a society founded on the principles of the Koran. But religion, far from being the solution to Pakistan’s problems, appears to be an impediment to a society struggling to make its peace with modern realities. The country that banned pornography in the name of faith also happens to be among its most voracious consumers; gay dating apps like Grindr flourish, but homosexuality is on paper punishable by death; Pakistan is dry, but behind closed doors its elite consume great quantities of alcohol and cocaine. In such a place, it is but a short step from distorted individual realities to a distorted collective one. To visit Pakistan is to inhabit an alternate reality; the great majority of people I spoke with, from Lahore drawing rooms to the street, believe that 9/11 was an American conspiracy.
Meet Kashmiri girl whose video is creating sensation she lives in Mumbai and works for a Hong Kong-based company..... According to Mirchandani, her ancestors migrated to Kashmir from Sindh a decade before partition. She claims that she comes from a Muslim family, but later embraced Sanatana Dharma.
The Road to 'Naya Kashmir' more than half the police stations in the Valley have relaxed curbs on day-time movement. People have withdrawn over Rs 800 crore from ATMs over the past fortnight, indicating that "the wheels of the economy continue to grind" for the common man ...... Article 370 permitted J&K to have its own constitution, its own flag and full autonomy in its internal administration, except for defence, foreign policy and communications, which were left for the Union government to control. ..... Once these leaders emerge from the silence of arrest, they may be reduced to pleading for the restoration of statehood at the earliest, which the central government has said it will consider. ...... Modi has signalled that he will render the current lot of political leaders irrelevant in the state by handing over the reins of the new Union territory to a new crop of grassroots leaders to build a 'Naya Kashmir'. ....... The BJP and the RSS have for decades made their intention clear on the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A (according to which non-permanent residents of J&K could not purchase or own land in the state). But the gameplan to achieve this was set in motion only in the final year of the first term of the Modi government....... "The problem in Kashmir is largely due to 50-odd political families there. They have been milking the issue. They don't want any benefit to be given to ordinary Kashmiris. People want freedom from such political families who have been preying on their emotions for 50 years. ..... "It was a corrupt edifice built on patronage-there were scams in recruitment for government posts, separatists were being bankrolled by many of those who had earlier run the government and there were only a few institutions where the rule of law prevailed. It was a sham democracy and the state was on the verge of collapse." ...... There was also deep concern over the growing radicalisation of the Kashmiri youth, especially after mosques and madrassas funded by more extreme sects had doubled in the past 15 years. ..... "The game in the past decade was an unethical compact between Delhi and the state that allowed the system to flourish as long as each got what they wanted. Delhi's approach was to manage Kashmir and ally with mainstream parties like the NC and PDP to run the government as long as they made the right noises about swearing allegiance to India. Never mind if only a few leaders and their families flourished, to the detriment of the state." ..... a five-pronged strategy: speed up development, hold panchayat elections, curb corruption, crack down on militants and prevent infiltration. ...... panchayat elections in October 2018 ..... unlike in the past, the sarpanches could disburse funds varying fromRs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore each for local projects. While both the NC and PDP boycotted the elections, voter turnout in the Valley was a decent 40 per cent. What shook these parties after the elections was that people started flocking to the newly elected sarpanches for development assistance, bypassing the local MLAs who had so far held sway. ...... we eliminated close to 250 terrorists last year ...... went after prominent Kashmiri businessman Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali and attached his property for allegedly being involved in terror financing and money-laundering for Hurriyat leaders...... a masterful legal strategy had been worked out in secret to dilute the provisions of Article 370 without having to get the state assembly's consent..... if there was an Afghan settlement, it would enable Pakistan to push all the Afghan radicals freed from civil strife towards the Indian border, as in the late '90s when the Taliban captured power in Afghanistan. ...... Top officials in J&K sensed something big was about to happen but were not sure exactly what. ...... In the past year, we mapped areas that needed more attention and forces, areas that were hard-core zones for stone-pelters and who the biggest trouble-makers were. ..... We also knew a communication lockdown would become necessary, which is why we equipped the entire police force with an alternative wireless system." ....... "Trying to pre-empt large-scale violence is not immoral; rather, it is the duty of a responsible government. There is inconvenience, but it is better than having body bags pile up if violence breaks out. The restrictions in place are quite sensitive to ground realities. As and when the situation improves, they will be eased." ....... All senior leaders of political parties were either put under house arrest or taken into custody and housed in hotels in the Valley or elsewhere in the state. All those listed as potential trouble-makers were also arrested. Meanwhile, the government cut off all telecommunications-landlines, cell phones and internet-ensuring a complete communication blackout. ...... Section 144 of the CrPC, which prohibits the assembly of five or more people in an area and also restricts carrying any sort of weapon, was imposed. ...... As also curfews, wherever necessary. The government claimed it had made provisions to keep hospitals running as well as ensure supply of food and other essentials. ...... NSA Doval spent 10 days in the state, chairing meetings on many occasions and also meeting people to fine-tune government strategy. ...... Among the big challenges is to ensure that the upcoming apple-plucking season, which is in September and October, is not disrupted. In Shopian, apple capital of the state, Sandeep Chaudhary, the superintendent of police, said that in his recent meeting with growers, rather than anger over Article 370, the bigger concern was to get the plucking and packing of apples going and have trucks move them out of the district for distribution and sale across the country. ..... the administration has announced that it will hold elections for block development councils in October. Along with panchayat leaders, these elections would throw up another rung of leadership invested in development. ...... 50,000 vacancies for government posts will be filled up soon ..... for the long term, the government is drawing up massive plans to build tourism infrastructure and develop Kashmir as an international destination that can compete with the best. ...... plans to set up sufficient processing and cold storage units for apples, peaches, pears as well as dry fruits to make the state an export hub. ...... a major investment summit it is planning in November gets the country's top industrialists to commit to setting up employment-generating projects in the state. ....... The Modi government is keen to bring in a whole new leadership from the grassroots while simultaneously correcting the institutional maladies that have afflicted the state in the past. This means the central government is in no hurry to restore statehood to J&K, and the process may take years. Having discredited the existing state leaders and their parties, the BJP would ideally like J&K to be ruled by a national party like itself rather than a regional satrap. ........ "After the abrogation of Article 370, all launch pads in PoK are full of terrorists and we have to thwart attempts to infiltrate practically every day. On the conventional front, Pakistan has made certain movement of forces of which we are aware and taking corrective action. If Pakistan indulges in any misadventure, I can assure you, it will get a befitting reply." Till winter sets in and makes crossing the border from the mountains difficult, the Indian armed forces have to be on their guard...... If Pakistan instigates a terror strike against India, it will further turn international opinion against it. ....... Pakistan can hardly complain. It has integrated PoK and the Northern Areas as two provinces leaving them with little independence to operate. ......
The only thing India should watch out for is violation of human rights, particularly if major violence breaks out in the state and the security forces use an iron fist to put it down.
In Jammu, which has a Hindu majority, there is already concern that those from Punjab will buy up their lands and dominate them. ..... Some now call for restrictions on land ownership as in Himachal.
Khan: Pakistan Will Stand With Kashmir
Traffic around the country stopped for several minutes as the anthems of Pakistan and Kashmir were played on state media at noon....... India's Kashmir-related moves have prompted Khan to repeatedly describe the government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as fascist and supremacist. Khan has also compared the Modi government with Nazi Germany and has alleged that Modi's actions pose a threat to both Pakistan and religious minorities in India. Kashmir situation contrary to Centre’s claims: Yechury The ground situation in Kashmir is “completely contrary” to what the Narendra Modi government has been saying, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury said after returning from Srinagar where he met his ailing party colleague Yusuf Tarigami.

The young woman speaks truth. What is frightening is no one is talking about 9mm people being cut off. The void of global leadership is striking. https://t.co/vtNiHhhH60
After the scrapping of Article 370, two developments can be expected.
One, the parties that used to take turns ruling Kashmir can be expected to go to the Supreme Court to challenge the decision.
Two, some of the terrorist organizations inside Pakistan, with full support from the army and the ISI, might engineer an attack inside India, the larger the better. It is for the Indian state to foil any such move. At least there is a forewarning. This is going to be politically expensive for Pakistan. It is no longer denying that it backs terrorist organizations. It is now hinting it will instigate attacks inside India through terrorist organizations.
"We will go to any extent," said Imran Khan. What is that supposed to mean?
It is highly possible the Supreme Court will side with the Modi government decision. But such a move by Abdullah and/or Mufti would be a welcome venting. Let out the steam. Media coverage of the legal move should allow for the peaceful airing of views from both sides. That would be welcome.
The possible terrorist attack has to be prevented. That is a serious intelligence and hardware challenge. The traditional war has been stalemated by nuclear weapons, but the asymmetric war goes on.
पाकिस्तान के प्रधान मंत्री इमरान खान साहब काश्मीर मसले को चीन के सहयोग से संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ को ले गए। धारा ३७० को सेक्युरिटी कॉउन्सिल ने भारतका आतंरिक मामला घोषित कर दिया। उन्होंने गुजारिश की कि दुनिया भर के मुसलमान कश्मीर के मुद्दे पर एक हो जाओ। तो गल्फ देश एक के बाद एक मोदी को अवार्ड बगैरह दिए जा रहे हैं।
भारत लाइन ऑफ़ कण्ट्रोल के पार कोइ बदमाशी न कर सकता है न करने दे सकता है। मीडिया में सारा काश्मीर हमारा है कहना अलग बात है। दोनों कह रहे हैं। मसला ये है कि भारत के काश्मीर के अंदर स्थिति सामान्य होते हैं कि नहीं। कर्फ्यू बगैरह सब हटाने के बाद और फ़ोन इंटरनेट सब चालु होने के बाद स्थिति सामान्य होती है कि नहीं। लोकतंत्र बहाल होती है कि नहीं। चुनाव होती है कि नहीं। तीव्र गति से विकास होती है कि नहीं। मसला ये है। स्थिति सामान्य हो गयी। चुनाव हो गयी तो बात रफा दफा हो जाएगा।
इमरान जब से प्रधान मंत्री बने पाकिस्तान के तभी से कहे पर कहे जा रहे थे, बात करो, बात करो। बिल्ली की मुँह गर्म दुध से पक गयी थी। मोदी नवाज से बात ही तो कर रहे थे। जितनी बार बात करते पाकिस्तानी फौजी और ख़ुफ़िया एजेंसी कोई न कोई अटैक फरमा बैठते। ताकि बातचीत ख़तम हो जाए। तो मोदी को लगा होगा पाकिस्तानी फौजी और ख़ुफ़िया एजेंसी इमरान खान के पकड़ में है तो नहीं। वो पैरेलल स्टेट चलाते हैं। तो इमरान से बात करो और वो फिर से कहीं न कहीं अटैक कर देंगे। अटैक छोटी ही हो पुरे देश गर्मा जाती है। तो कौन पंगा लेगा भाइ?
मोदी वार्ता नहीं युद्ध चाहते हैं ऐसी बात नहीं है। युद्ध तो चाह कर भी संभव नहीं है। युद्ध यानि कि आत्महत्या। सुसाइड। दोनों के लिए।
मैंने धारा ३७० सुनी थी लेकिन मेरे को मालुम नहीं था कि बाँकी भारत के लोग काश्मीर में जमीन खरीद नहीं सकते हैं। संघीयता का कोइ एक फोर्मुला शायद नहीं होता। धारा ३७० का हटना गलत या सही ये मेरे को नहीं कहना है। मैं सुनना चाहता हुँ कि काश्मीर के लोग इस बारे में क्या कहते हैं। अगर वो सामान्य स्थिति और चुनाव की ओर जाते हैं तो मैं कहुँगा निर्णय गलत नहीं रहा। जल्द से जल्द चुनाव कराओ।
मैं इस ब्लॉग पर महिनों सालों से कहता आया हुँ काश्मीर समस्या का समाधान यही है कि भारत भी और पाकिस्तान भी पुरे काश्मीर पर अपना अपना क्लेम बंद करो और लाइन ऑफ़ कण्ट्रोल को परमानेंट बॉर्डर घोषित करो। और व्यापार पर फोकस करो। अभी जो धरा ३७० हटी है वो उसी फोर्मुला के भितर जैसी दिखती है। लेकिन पाकिस्तान शासित काश्मीर और अक्साइ चीन पर क्लेम करना बंद करो।
तो अब कर्फ्यू बगैरह हटाओ ताकि जनजीवन सामान्य बन सके। लोग चलफिर सके। बच्चे स्कुल जा सके। लोग बाजार जा सके। काम पर जा सके। चुनाव की तयारी करो। तीव्र गति से विकास कर के दिखाओ। लोगों को नौकरिया मिले ऐसी वातावरण बनाओ। ये सब होमवर्क है।
इमरान खान मॉनिटरिंग करें। कि धारा ३७० हटाने के बाद वहाँ तानाशाही नहीं लाद दी गयी हो। कर्फ्यू बगैरह हटाओ। जनजीवन सामान्य बनाओ। लोगो को बोलने दो।
इमरान भारत शासित काश्मीर पर क्लेम करना छोड़ दें। वो पाकिस्तान शासित कश्मीर पर फोकस करें। वहाँ स्थिति सामान्य है कि नहीं। वहाँ स्थानीय बगैरह चुनाव हो रहे हैं कि नहीं। विकास हो रहा है कि नहीं। चीन जो रोड बना रहा है पाकिस्तानी कश्मीर होते हुवे अरेबियन सागर तक वो तो अच्छी बात है। सिर्फ लोन किस दर पर है वो विचार कर लेनी चाहिए। ज्यादा है तो इमरान फिर से निगोशिएट करें और लोन रेट कम करवा लें जैसे मलेशिया के प्रधना मंत्री ने करवाया। वो रोड बन जाती है तो फिर पाकिस्तानी अर्थतंत्र का कायापलट हो जाएगा।
पाकिस्तान में लोकतंत्र है नहीं। सिर्फ चुनाव होने से लोकतंत्र नहीं होता। पाकिस्तानी सेना पर ख़ुफ़िया एजेंसी पर पाकिस्तान के प्रधान मंत्री का पुर्ण नियंत्रण हो जाए तब जा के पाकिस्तान को लोकतंत्र माना जाएगा। अभी तो पाकिस्तान एक वैसा तांगा है जिनके तीन घोड़े तीन ओर घींच रहे हो।
इमरान का काश्मीर समस्या पाकिस्तान की आतंरिक राजनीति जैसी लगने लगी है। पाकिस्तान की अर्थतंत्र ऐसी नाजुक अवस्था से गुजर रही है। काफी कमजोर पड़ी है। इमरान को सख्त से सख्त निर्णय लेने हैं। कुछ ठोस कदम उठाने हैं। टैक्स का दायरा बढ़ाना है। पाकिस्तान के जो आमिर हैं वो टैक्स भरते ही नहीं। देशको कमजोर कर के रखे हुवे हैं।
पाकिस्तान की आतंरिक राजनीति से जुझना कठिन काम है और वो इमरान खान को करना है। भारत से जुझना तो आसान काम है। मोदी को खरी खोटी सुना दो। लोग तालियाँ पिटते हैं। इमरान को चाहिए अपने अर्थतंत्र पर फोकस करें।
پاکستان کے وزیر اعظم عمران خان صاحب چین کی حمایت سے مسئلہ کشمیر کو اقوام متحدہ میں لے گئے۔ سیکشن 360 نے داخلی کونسل کو ہندوستان کا داخلی معاملہ قرار دیا۔ انہوں نے گذارش کی کہ پوری دنیا کے مسلمان مسئلہ کشمیر پر متحد ہوجائیں۔ تو خلیجی ممالک کو ایک کے بعد ایک مودی سے نوازا جارہا ہے۔
بھارت لائن آف کنٹرول کے پار کسی قسم کی غنڈہ گردی کی اجازت نہیں دے سکتا ہے اور نہیں دے گا۔ یہ کہنا الگ بات ہے کہ میڈیا میں پورا کشمیر ہمارا ہے۔ دونوں کہہ رہے ہیں۔ مسئلہ یہ ہے کہ ہندوستان کے کشمیر کے اندر صورتحال نارمل ہے یا نہیں۔ چاہے کرفیو کو ہٹانے کے بعد اور فون انٹرنیٹ کے بعد بھی سب کچھ چل رہا ہے۔ جمہوریت بحال ہوتی ہے یا نہیں۔ چاہے انتخاب کیا جائے یا نہیں۔ چاہے تیز رفتار ترقی ہو یا نہ ہو۔ یہ مسئلہ ہے۔ صورتحال معمول بن گئی۔ اگر انتخابات ہوتے ہیں تو معاملہ ختم ہوجائے گا۔
جب سے عمران پاکستان کے وزیر اعظم بنے ہیں تب سے وہ کہتے رہے ہیں ، بات کریں ، بات کریں۔ بلی کا منہ گرم دودھ کے ساتھ پکڑا گیا تھا۔ مودی صرف نواز سے گفتگو کر رہے تھے۔ جب بھی پاکستانی فوج اور خفیہ ایجنسی بات کرتی ، وہ ایک ہی حملہ پر بیٹھ جاتے۔ تاکہ گفتگو ختم ہوجائے۔ تو مودی کو یہ محسوس ہوگا کہ پاکستانی فوج اور خفیہ ایجنسی عمران خان کی گرفت میں ہے یا نہیں۔ وہ متوازی ریاست چلاتا ہے۔ تو عمران سے بات کریں اور وہ پھر کہیں حملہ کرے گا۔ جب حملہ چھوٹا ہوتا ہے تو ، پورا ملک گرم ہوتا ہے۔ تو بھائی کون گڑبڑ کرے گا؟
مودی بات چیت نہیں چاہتے لیکن جنگ ایسا نہیں ہے۔ جنگ چاہے بغیر ممکن نہیں۔ جنگ کا مطلب ہے خود کشی۔ خودکشی۔ دونوں کے لئے۔
میں نے دفعہ heard 360. سنا تھا لیکن میں نہیں جانتا تھا کہ ہندوستان کے لوگ کشمیر میں زمین نہیں خرید سکتے ہیں۔ شاید فیڈرل ازم کا کوئی فارمولا موجود نہیں ہے۔ مجھے یہ کہنے کی ضرورت نہیں ہے کہ دفعہ 370 کو ختم کرنا غلط ہے یا صحیح ہے۔ میں یہ سننا چاہتا ہوں کہ کشمیری عوام اس بارے میں کیا کہتے ہیں۔ اگر وہ عام صورتحال اور انتخابات میں جاتے ہیں تو میں یہ کہوں گا کہ فیصلہ غلط نہیں تھا۔ جتنی جلدی ممکن ہو انتخابات کروائیں۔
میں اس بلاگ پر کئی مہینوں سے کہہ رہا ہوں کہ مسئلہ کشمیر کا حل یہ ہے کہ بھارت اور پاکستان کو بھی پورے کشمیر پر اپنا دعوی بند کرنا چاہئے اور لائن آف کنٹرول کو مستقل بارڈر قرار دینا چاہئے۔ اور کاروبار پر توجہ دیں۔ اب جو زمین ہٹا دی گئی ہے وہی اسی فارمولے کے خچروں کی طرح دکھائی دیتی ہے۔ لیکن پاکستان کے زیر اقتدار کشمیر اور اکیس Kashmir چین کا دعوی کرنا چھوڑ دیتے ہیں۔
لہذا اب کرفیو کو ہٹا دیں تاکہ زندگی معمول بن سکے۔ لوگ چل سکتے تھے۔ بچے اسکول جاسکتے ہیں۔ لوگ بازار جاسکتے تھے۔ کام پر جانا الیکشن کی تیاری کرو۔ تیز اور ترقی دکھائیں۔ ایسا ماحول پیدا کریں جس میں لوگوں کو روزگار ملے۔ یہ سب ہوم ورک ہے۔
عمران خان مانیٹرنگ۔ یہ کہ دفعہ 0 370 کو ختم کرنے کے بعد وہاں بھی آمریت مسلط نہیں کی گئی۔ کرفیو کو ہٹا دیں۔ زندگی کو معمول بنائیں۔ لوگوں کو بولنے دو۔
عمران کو بھارت کے زیر اقتدار کشمیر کا دعوی کرنا چھوڑ دینا چاہئے۔ انہیں پاکستان کے زیر اقتدار کشمیر پر توجہ دینی چاہئے۔ وہاں صورتحال عام ہے یا نہیں۔ انتخابات کے بغیر بلدیاتی انتخابات ہوتے ہیں یا نہیں۔ ترقی ہو رہی ہے یا نہیں۔ چین پاکستان کے بحیرہ عرب تک جو سڑک بنا رہا ہے وہ اچھی چیز ہے۔ صرف اس شرح پر ہی غور کیا جانا چاہئے جس پر قرض لیا گیا ہے۔ اگر زیادہ ہے تو ، عمران دوبارہ بات چیت کریں اور ملائشیا کے وزیر اعظم کی طرح قرض کی شرح کم کریں۔ اگر یہ سڑک بن جاتی ہے تو پھر پاکستانی معیشت بدل جائے گی۔
پاکستان میں جمہوریت نہیں ہے۔ جمہوریت صرف انتخابات کرانے سے نہیں ہوتی۔ اگر پاکستانی فوج کا خفیہ ایجنسی پر وزیر اعظم پاکستان کا مکمل کنٹرول ہے تو پاکستان کو جمہوریت سمجھا جائے گا۔ ابھی پاکستان ایک ٹنگا ہے جس کے تین گھوڑے تین طرف سے سونگ رہے ہیں۔
عمران کا مسئلہ پاکستان کی داخلی سیاست کی طرح نظر آنے لگا ہے۔ پاکستان کی معیشت اس قدر نازک صورتحال سے گذر رہی ہے۔ وہ بہت کمزور ہے۔ عمران کو سخت ترین فیصلے لینے ہیں۔ کچھ ٹھوس اقدامات کرنے ہیں۔ ٹیکس کے دائرہ کار میں اضافہ کرنا ہوگا۔ پاکستان کا امیر ٹیکس ادا نہیں کرتا ہے۔ ہم نے ملک کو کمزور رکھا ہے۔
پاکستان کی داخلی سیاست کا مقابلہ کرنا مشکل ہے اور یہی کام عمران خان کو کرنا ہے۔ بھارت سے نمٹنا آسان ہے۔ مودی سے کہو کہ وہ بہت ایماندار ہو۔ لوگوں نے تالیاں بجا دیں۔ عمران کو اپنی معیشت پر توجہ دینے کی ضرورت ہے۔
MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal has saved the day for the BJP on this issue. But the true test is when normalcy and democracy are restored in Kashmir and it elects itself a state legislature, and locally elected leaders put forth a roadmap to attain full statehood for Kashmir down the line.
Instead of saying Paksitan occupied Kashmir is ours, Asksai Chin is ours, India should show the world that democracy has blossomed in Ladakh and Kashmir.
I want leaders of all Muslim countries to talk about human rights issues in Kashmir. That will open the door to talk about human rights in all Muslim countries.
Every additional day that the eight million Kashmiris are kept under curfew, with their phones and internet cut off is a blight on the Modi government and takes away from the credibility of the Modi government. Its declarations that the removal of Article 370 was to pave the way for Kashmiri prosperity will have been sham.
Article 370 is a topic of legal, political, constitutional, historical debate. It is ongoing. But the ground reality in Kashmir is day to day. Normalcy must be restored. The curfew must be lifted as soon as possible.
Modi can not make the mistake of crossing the Line Of Control. No more misadventures in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
The Modi government has done what it has done. Now let the Kashmiri people speak their minds. Let them come out of their homes. Let them protest if they want to.
India's Modi Defends Moves In Kashmir As Lockdown Continues He said the change will bring prosperity and equality to the area. ...... "It is our duty to fulfill the hopes and wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. It is our responsibility to give their dreams new wings," he said at the Red Fort in New Delhi....... But as India's leader spoke, Jammu and Kashmir's 7 million people were in their 11th day of a communication blockade, with phone, Internet and cable TV services cut. ...... The authorities have effectively enforced a curfew throughout the region....... People have not been able to call anyone and access to medical services is difficult. Schools and offices remain shut. With no communication, journalists are finding it hard to report and have to fly out of Kashmir to send in their stories. ...... About 1,300 people have been detained, including 350 political leaders...... In the last 10 days, thousands have come out in protests against the constitutional move and the lockdown. ....... an excessive military presence on the ground. "Everything is being done under the shadow of military and paramilitary presence there. There are no avenues to protest peacefully," said one of the activists, Kavita Krishnan ........ "Anger and fear were the dominant emotions we encountered everywhere." They also reported people being scared to speak on camera as the activists made videos of the scene, for "fear of persecution from the government." ....... The United Nations Security Council reportedly plans to discuss Kashmir behind closed doors on Friday, following requests from Pakistan and China.
In IOK, 12 days of curfew, presence of extra troops in an already heavily militarized occupied territory, sending in of RSS goons, complete communication blackout; with the example of Modi's earlier ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Gujarat
As India's blackout leaves Kashmir in the dark, US must stand up for free expression Imagine for a moment that nearly all residents of the US state of Virginia -- population roughly 8.5 million -- were blocked from communicating with each other or the outside world. Imagine that their movements within their neighborhoods were highly restricted due to military-enforced curfews and checkpoints. And imagine they could not access reliable information because, due to the clampdown, journalists were largely prevented from reporting or publishing the news........ India has the world's highest rate of government Internet shutdowns, most of them concentrated in Kashmir.
इतिहास में क्या है उसी के तहत समस्या का समाधान ढुंढते रह जाएँगे तो फिर इतिहास में तो सब कुछ है। इतिहास में काश्मीर भारतका भी है और पाकिस्तान का भी। इतिहास में काश्मीर स्वतन्त्र देश भी है। इतिहास में भारत देश है भी और नहीं भी है। इतिहास में पाकिस्तान है भी और नहीं भी है। सिर्फ इतिहास को जिक्र कर के समस्या का समाधान ढूँढा नहीं जा सकता। इतिहास में तो एक से अनेक घाव हैं। पुरानी घावों को आप ताजा करेंगे?
इतिहास को बिलकुल नजरअंदाज भी नहीं किया जा सकता। लेकिन आपको सिद्धान्त पर चलना होगा। समस्या का समाधान सिद्धान्त पर चल के भी कठिन है लेकिन संभव है। कौन सा सिद्धान्त? कैसा सिद्धान्त? दुनियाकी सबसे बड़ी लोकतन्त्र का सिद्धान्त और क्या हो सकता है? लोकतन्त्र का सिद्धान्त।
जो लोकतन्त्र को मानते हैं वो ये मानते हैं कि ईश्वर ने प्रत्येक मनुष्य को बराबर का बनाया है। उसी सिद्धान्त के गणित को एक व्यक्ति एक मत भी कहते हैं। लेकिन लोकतन्त्र का मतलब बहुमत जो चाहे वो कर ले ये नहीं निकलता। लोकतन्त्र व्यक्ति से सम्बन्धित है। आप कह रहे हैं कि प्रत्येक मनुष्य के कुछ आधारभुत अधिकार होते हैं। उन अधिकारों को बहुमत तो क्या पुर्ण मत से भी नहीं छिन सकते हैं।
ये रियल इस्टेट की बात नहीं है। लोकतन्त्र का जमीन से सम्बन्ध होता तो दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी लोकतन्त्र भारतको नहीं माना जाता। छोटा सा देश भारत। भारत से लगभग तीन गुना बड़ा सहारा मरुभूमि है। सहारा को ही भारत से बड़ा लोकतन्त्र या देश कहते लोग। नहीं कहते हैं।
काश्मीर का मसला जमीन का नहीं है। काश्मीर का मसला वहाँ के अवाम से है।
एक होती है जमीनी यथार्थ। एक होती है क्लेम। यथार्थ है लाइन ऑफ़ कण्ट्रोल। क्लेम है कि पाकिस्तान और भारत दोनों पुरे के पुरे काश्मीर को क्लेम करते हैं। जब तक दोनों वो क्लेम करते रहेंगे टेंशन बना रहेगा। टेंशन बना रहेगा तो दोनों देशो में गरीबी बनी रहेगी। जितने गरीब लोग भारतके भितर हैं उतने दुनिका के किसी देश में नहीं।
गृह मंत्री कह रहे हैं ३७० हटा दिया। अब पाकिस्तान के अधीन जो काश्मीर है वो भी लेंगे। अक्साइ चीन भी लेंगे। कैसे लेंगे? ३७० तो हटाया बल प्रयोग कर के। बाँकी काश्मीर और अक्साइ चीन लेने के लिए पाकिस्तान और चीन से युद्ध करेंगे क्या? वो भी जानते हैं कि युद्ध असंभव है। बाँकी काश्मीर और अक्साइ चीन भारतका हो जाना असंभव बात नहीं है। लेकिन वहाँ तक पहुँचने का रास्ता युद्ध नहीं है। तीनो देश बातचीत करें। शायद रास्ता निकल जाए। आप ५० या १०० सालका टाईमटेबल निकालिए। शायद रास्ता निकल जाए।
नहीं अगर निकट भविष्य में ही हल निकालना चाहते हैं तो लोगों को इस तरह गुमराह मत किजिए।
जो लोकतन्त्र बिहार या महाराष्ट्र में है वही लोकतंत्र काश्मीर को भी दे सकते हैं तो कुछ हद तक माना जा सकता है कि चलो अकेले जितना कर सके किए। नहीं तो ये तो तानाशाही बात हो गयी। ये फ़ासिस्ट कदम हो गया।
वार्ता में होता है पॉस्चरिंग। थोड़ा बढ़चढ़ के बोलना होता है। बाद में वार्ता के दौरान थोड़ा पिछे हट जाते हैं और डील करते हैं।
ये जो कदम है ये स्थायी समाधान नहीं है। अस्थायी समाधान भी है कि नहीं ये कुछ समय बितने पर पता चलेगा। स्थायी समाधान है वार्ता। वार्ता किजिए। पाकिस्तान से। चीन से। फोर्मुला तो यही है कि तीनों देश लाइन ऑफ़ कन्ट्रोल को स्थायी सीमा मान लें और व्यापार पर फोकस करें। ताकि गरीबी को हटाया जा सके।
The abrogation of Article 370 which had been giving special status to Kashmir in India and the bifurcation of the state into two to be governed by the central government in Delhi has been a big step. That Kashmir has been put under martial law is telling. There are fears this is an attempt to turn Kashmir into a Gaza Strip. One hopes the martial law aspect is, at best, temporary. If India takes away democracy from Kashmir, it will be a deep wound to India's very soul.
India keeps saying all of Kashmir belongs to India. Pakistan keeps saying all of Kashmir belongs to Kashmir. They are untenable positions. The two powers should come together to recognize the Line Of Control as the final border between the two countries and help bring down the tension levels in the state. Ordinary Kashmiris suffer daily inconveniences and regular cruelties. That is a blight on the Indian conscience. No democracy, no India.

Article 370: Will revoking special status be good for Kashmir, India? We have grown so used to the status quo that a change of this magnitude challenges our intellectual faculties......... GoI’s decision to revoke Article 370, scrap Article 35A and reorganise J&K (into two Union territories) will go down as one the most audacious decisions taken by New Delhi since Independence. New J&K to be like Puducherry: Here is how India's new Union territory J&K will function Modi government's new roadmap in Kashmir Change is in the air, with a sharper focus on recasting the political and administrative structure that allowed separatism to fester in the Valley and squeezed the space for governance. This Amit Shah photo reveals Modi govt's top secret plan on Article 370 Government's decision on Article 370 as a "betrayal of trust": Omar Abdullah Article 370: Why is Kashmir tense about it & what can India do According to this article, except for defence, foreign affairs, finance and communications, Parliament needs the state government's concurrence for applying all other laws. Thus the state's residents live under a separate set of laws, including those related to citizenship, ownership of property, and fundamental rights, as compared to other Indians. As a result of this provision, Indian citizens from other states cannot purchase land or property in Jammu & Kashmir. Under Article 370, the Centre has no power to declare financial emergency under Article 360 in the state. It can declare an emergency in the state only in case of war or external aggression. The Union government can therefore not declare emergency on grounds of internal disturbance or imminent danger unless it is made at the request or with the concurrence of the state government. ....... "Article 370 under the Constitution has been ascribed as a temporary provision and not a special provision. There are provisions in the Constitution - temporary, transitional and special. Temporary is the weakest. The question is - how can be it ended and when shall be ended" What is article 35A and why is everyone in India talking about it now When the J&K Constitution was adopted in 1956, it defined a permanent resident as someone who was a state subject on May 14, 1954, or who has been a resident of the state for 10 years, and has lawfully acquired immovable property. ......So under this clause no outsider can own property in J&K or get a state job. J&K and Ladakh: Union Territory with legislature and without legislature Jammu and Kashmir being an UT with legislature, will have the option of forming their own governments and having a legislature with elected members and a chief minister (like New Delhi and Puducherry), yet the powers of such governments will be lesser than the state governments. ....... UTs with their own Legislatures -- Delhi, Puducherry and now Jammu and Kashmir -- will send representatives to the Rajya Sabha, besides the Lok Sabha. Other UTs send representatives only to the Lok Sabha.
