Pak complains nobody's listening to their Kashmir whinges

[DAILYTIMES.PK] Our response to Indian re-occupation, un-lawful and forced annexation of its controlled part of Jammu and Kashmir
.jpg "Kashmir") ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir . The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
on 5 August and 31 October 2019, has not been pointed, proportionate and in accordance with the merits of Kashmir case. People of Kashmir continue to suffer an 11 month lockdown and we seem to have given up on them. Is something wrong on Kashmir? We hope not.
Government of Azad Kashmir laments and rightly so, that it is not allowed to open up on the diplomatic front to represent the Kashmir case. The grievance is partly true. But President and Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir and many others find a way to go abroad and are free to discuss their case. At times they are accommodated in Pak delegations and facilitated in various capitals for an appearance. Government of Azad Kashmir has assumed duties under UNCIP Resolutions. It should interpret its duties accordingly and assert its principal right to represent the Kashmir case.

If we compare the temperature that was raised at the UN General Assembly by Prime Minister of Pakistain in September last year and the sentiment it had generated, we see very little as a consequence. There was a talk that Pakistain would explore all avenues of going to ICJ, there would a reconsideration of coming out of Shimla agreement and that Pakistain was in the process of a holding a special session of OIC on the situation in Kashmir.
All this has not happened. Foreign Minister has written 8 letters, two to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and six to UN Security Council and UN General Assembly. Prime Minister has been tweeting on Kashmir. Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir has almost disappeared in the thin air. It raves s genuine suspicion that something is wrong on Kashmir.
We have introduced a new culture of ’virtual conferences’ and it may be a genuine left over means during Covid-19 lockdown, but it has its own limitations. Usually the participants except a few are people of no consequence and are added as a number to run the afternoon show. Most of these people have no direct physical link with Kashmir and would not be able to visualise the pain. These conferences end up after spewing a truck-load of unwanted rhetoric, like our Kashmir Conferences of non-COVID-19 times would lure people into fiction.
People have started multi-tasking on Kashmir and if it goes free for all, it would be a betrayal. We should not forget that all of us who have subscribed to Hurriet politics, defended militancy at the UN or advocated in favour of a political and holy warrior resistance against India at the UN and at other forums, carry a liability as well. Each one of us remains responsible for the death of a generation and for precipitating a situation that has helped Indian soldier to descend from hills and become our neighbour for day and night.
Our elders and in particular women, who had only heard about Indian army became victims of their ill treatment. They were humbled, humiliated, tortured and dishonoured. My activities at the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
in Geneva and at the UN World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna, infuriated Indian Government. My father, my uncle, maternal uncle all elderly and my younger brother were arrested by Assam Rashtriya Rifles on 19 December 1995, "on suspicion of harbouring Death Eaters and having an arms dump in their orchards."
If it were not for the United Nations Urgent Action, intervention from Pope, international organizations and Supreme Court of India, they would have killed them in cold blood. At one point my father was asked to write his will. My father told me before his death, that he started believing that the army would kill him at that point. They were released on 4 January 1996. December was chosen for their arrest so that I could not activate any action for their release during Christmas. (Para 207 of UN Report E/CN.4/1997/7/Add.1 dated 20 December 1996). As a tradition and as a historical practice police would not enter our village without the permission of my uncle — the Village Head. It was for the first time since 1846, that Assam Rashtriya Rifles waded into our house on 19 December 1995.
If nothing is wrong on Kashmir, then we have to consider pointed, proportionate practical steps, bilateral, multilateral and international to seek to vacate the Indian re-occupation of 5 August and annexation of a part of territory on 31 October 2019. Unless, God forbidding, there has been any quid pro quo on Kashmir, the dragging of feet and turning cold on Kashmir would be very disastrous for Pakistain itself.
