...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....

resolutions.
The COAS condemned India's ongoing oppression and brutalities against Kashmiris and noted that New Delhi, after the recently concluded elections, has been attempting to mask its aggression and victimisation of the Kashmiri people with false propaganda and provocations against Pakistain.
Such tactics, including manufacturing false flag operations, have become a routine political tool of India, he noted.
"Pakistain has always supported peace and stability in the region; however, any provocation or violation of Pakistain's territorial illusory sovereignty will be met with a swift and resolute response, with the full support of the nation," the army chief added.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif extended warm greetings to the Pak nation and Moslems around the world on Eid and recalled the violence in various areas around the world, namely in IIOJK and Paleostine.
On this Eid day, he said: "We pray for our Paleostinian and Kashmiri brothers and sisters who are bravely facing brutal foreign occupation but remain steadfast in their struggle to achieve their right of self-determination".
