India Takes Up Fight To Pakistan, Modi Announces Compensation For Terror Victims In Pak kashmir

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

In another bold move which is certain to irk Pakistan, Modi government on Wednesday announced compensation for civilian victims of terror in the valley including the residents of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (Azad Kashmir).

The government said that since people living in Azad Kashmir are our people too, they can claim the compensation. "Kashmiris in Azad Kashmir are an important part of India and they can also claim such a compensation,"Minister of state for PMO, Jitendra Singh was quoted in IndiaToday.

The move came days after PM Modi raised to issue of Balochistan, Gilgit and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir in his Independence Day speech.

The minister further said that there is nothing offensive in roping in the people of Azad Kashmir for compensation since Azad Kashmir also is a part of India occupied by Pakistan.

"By the virtue of the Constitution of India, rules also apply in that part of the country which is occupied by Pakistan. Those residents are also our people and are victims of similar condition,"added Singh.

Jitender Singh's statement came after Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Modi, gave its approval to enhance the grant of compensation to the civilian victims under the scheme titled "Central Scheme for Assistance to Civilian Victims of Terrorist/ Communal/Left Wing Extremist (LWE), Cross Border Firing and Mine/IED blasts on Indian Territory".

The compensation had been increased from Rs 3 lakhs to Rs 5 lakhs.

Main features of the scheme
1. Civilian victims of cross border firing along the Indo-Pak border will be given a compensation of Rs 5 lakh similar to those who die due to terrorism or LWE violence. Earlier there was no such provision where people living around international border getting compensation for loss of life during cross border firing.

2. Any civilian who dies in terror strike, be in Kashmir, north-east or LWE areas will be given Rs 5 lakh as compensation uniformly. The amount will be given to the next of kin of the victim.

3. The person who receives 50 per cent or more disability in terror strike will also get Rs 5 lakhs.

4. The compensation amount will be given subject to the condition that no employment has been provided to any of the family members of the victims by state or Central Government.

So far, the government has disbursed Rs 35.89 crore as compensation to civilian victims since the inception of this scheme in 2008.

Pakistan is playing smart, focus of Kashmir crisis is being kept, the volatile situation in the valley has given
a diplomatic boost to Pakistan, reference of Balochistan, AJK/GB reflects desperation among Indian establishment
especially in the light of CPEC coming into full swing. It has made modi regime look like a maniac infront of the
world drawing severe criticism from within the Indian political circles. He is literally a toy in Pakistan's hands right
now. As we speak Pakistan is cementing its defence and economic relations with Russia and China, focusing on CPEC, thereby connecting with Central Asia bypassing Afghanistan. Iran is willing to cooperate to maintain stability in the region (NSA visit to Tehran played imp role) and will be taking advantage of Pakistan's vital geostrategic location for its energy trade with China. Kabul regime has no other option but to talk with Talibs, mend ties with Pakistan and become part of the regional economic network. India might try to be a spoiler but this strategy has made Modi look like a buffoon.

Pakistan is economically and militarily more stronger than ever, insurgency in FATA has been crushed, Balochistan situation has been stabilized with Baloch nationalist parties in power. Those who are being invited to Indian channels are sitting in Zurich, London or Toronto are only good for domestic consumption of Indian audience. The good thing is that the right wing focus of Indian media and Islamophobe nutcases like Tarek Fatah/Tasleema Nasreen making inroads into Indian media have have quadrupled hatred for Pakistan and its people and muslims in general among Indians especially among the Indian youth, it has sidelined AmankiAsha lot, it is steadily polarizing the Indian society with the Indian muslims feeling the heat. Congress MP recently vehemently criticized this attitude in the Indian parliament. Pakistan couldn't have done in a hundred years to Indian society overall what Modi and rightwingers have done and will do to it in the coming years. May God bless RSS, May God bless Modi.

India and Pakistan, both dominions were created by Indian Independence Act 47. Quote me where it was written that Kashmiri should be allowed to have plebiscite while rest of the provinces wont?

Now if you are talking about UN resolution of Aug 13 1948 under chapter VI, which are merely recommendation and India have the right to reject, there is no legal right of Kashmiris to warrant a referendum.

Brother, please don't engage me on this, I am bored of this debate having done it for a decade on these forums.

I ask you a simple information, if you dont have it or dont want to furnish, say it. I will look myself over internet.

Thank You
