There is about 10-12 million people in the whole of kashmir with probably 5-7 million voters.
A lot of the land is mountains and empty spaces so taking all that onboard it would not take that long to hold a vote.
Countries with a bigger population then kashmir can hold a vote nationwide in one day so am pretty sure the same can be done in kashmir over a couple of days.
Are you kidding me? The last elections in J&K were held in 7 phases. That's SEVEN. That's Indian held territory alone. I hope you agree that holding free and fair elections is not an easy task, specially in a volatile territory as unified J&K.
Why dont we have election in a couple of district of kashmir on both sides......the districts that run parallel on the LOC can have elections the same day.
Can be done if both India and Pakistan agree for the same. But currently, none of the two seem to be in favour of a referendum.
Thats where you have to accept UN-international monitors.
India already has UN/international monitors in J&K. Pakistan doesn't. Go figure.
What happens if AJK vote to become a part of pakistan......will you still be holding elections or coming out with the excuses.
That's exactly what I'm saying. It'll put tremendous pressure on India. The world community will suddenly be awakened to the Kashmiri cause. Isn't that what you want?
And also the onus is not on pakistan to hold any election
Yes it is because they are the ones harping about it.
or is there any demand in the AJK for a unilateral move on the issue.
The killings and protest are taking place in IOK and not AJK,so its more on you to hold elctions then it is on us.We have said from the start that we are willing to hold elctions as long as you come out and do the same and say it in public.
It really simple follow the UN.
The killings are unfortunate. What is even more unfortunate is that a set of people are using those killings to push their own agenda.
