Indian govt changing Kashmir's demographic: foreign secretary - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry on Wednesday accused the Indian government of deliberately altering the demographic makeup of Jammu and Kashmir by settling non-state citizens in Indian-held Kashmir and turning its Muslim majority into a minority by dividing the population on ethnic, religious and communal lines.

"No elections in Indian-held Kashmir could be a substitute to the plebiscite under the auspices of the UN," Chaudhry told ambassadors posted to Pakistan of countries in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

Briefing the envoys on the eve of Kashmir Day, the foreign secretary referred to the actions taken by Indian security forces to suppress the indigenous Kashmiri movement against Indian rule. He also quoted staggering figures of Kashmiris killed, women widowed and raped and children orphaned in human rights violations in the region.

He stressed that peace in the region would remain elusive without the resolution of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with UN resolutions that call for a free and fair election to determine the wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

The foreign secretary emphasised that OIC as a body of 57 countries with the world’s one-fifth population and Gross Domestic Profit (GDP) with many trillion dollars could influence India to fulfill its obligations under UN resolutions, de-militarise Indian-held Kashmir and refrain from committing human rights violations.
Noting the points made by the foreign secretary, the OIC ambassadors participated in the discussion focusing on the Kashmir issue, Pakistan-India relations and other developments in the region.

The divided, mostly Muslim Himalayan region of Kashmir is at the heart of hostility between the neighbours and was the cause of two of their three wars since independence from Britain in 1947.

On Jan 5, 1949, the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan’s resolution stated that the question of the accession of the State of Jammu and Kashmir to India or Pakistan would be decided through a free and impartial plebiscite. But the Indian government has been opposed to a referendum, excusing itself by saying that the irregularities in Kashmir must be eradicated before carrying out any referendum.

I guess we should actually do what they accuse of in their propaganda.

Wow.... They can sell the part of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to Chinese. India is not suppose to relocate the Kashmiri pandits who were chased away by Pakistan backed terrorists !!!??? What a punch of Cry Babies

 

[kurup]

Good news .....

 

[Abingdonboy]

The only people who have changed the demographics in JK in the past 50 years in any meaningful way are the Pakistani State backed militants who drove the non-Muslims out of the state.

I would like the MEA to come up with a statement telling the Pakistanis to stay out of India's internal affairs.

 

[itachiii]

we have to remove the clause in article 370 , that doesn't allow rest of the Indians to buy a house in kashmir , this move would alone change the present demographies of kashmir ...

@SarthakGanguly bhai , do u see any changes happening in the state , or is it the same mullahs holding on to there strong holds ? last time i heard fertility rate in kashmir has slowed down and is less than the jammu hindus , still the population of muslims increased in the state .. your thoughts ?

So rehabilitation of Kashmiri pundits is amounted to change the demography of the state

meanwhile shiyas are being slaughtered in Pakistan and in Syria Muslims themselves changing the demography of UMMAH by killing each other so far 280000 and OIC mullah ji are concerned about india

First off we didnt sell a part of Kashmir to the Chinese, it was a strip of uninhabitable arid land that was given to the Chinese to settle disputes and to make the use of the mountains as a natural border. Second, dont forget the hundreds of thousands of Muslims who were forced out of Kashmir which included my Grand mother and Grand father. Third, learn how to spell before you attempt 'insult' anyone.

I'm Shia and i assure you no one is being slaughtered. We co-exist peacefully in fact i haven't heard the word Shia or Sunni for a long time now (expect in media), we prefer to call ourselves Muslims in stead. There have been some explosions by terrorists but it has highly decreased.

It's a failed strategy and something bound for failure. The pundits should be repatriated though; the ones who actually fled, most remained behind - unlike what these indians would WANT you to believe

the reality on the ground is that anti-indian sentiment is very deep throughout iOK.....luckily BJP didnt get its way in Kashmir and they failed miserably

 

[zzebie]

I don't understand what demographic changes this gentleman is talking about. The talk of rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits has been going on for years now. These are the same people that were driven away during the militancy days. Other than this group(which to be honest i don't believe will be back after the way they were driven away) i have not heard of any other people coming back to Kashmir unless i am missing something here.

If Pakistan does consider Kashmir as a dispute, then ir-respective of whether the land is arid and uninhabitable it was not Pakistan's land to give away to China. Period.

BJP was never going to win in Kashmir. Some of these journos with their articles just go way too much in their fantasy land. In the valley either the PDP or the NC wins(Few seats for congress). It's Jammu and Ladakh that go between BJP and Congress.

25 seats in the assembly is not a miserable failure in any angle,,,,,its actually unprecedented..
rest assured,,,if BJP gets another term in the centre,,,,there is a real chance of BJP govt. in Kashmir.

Nope. The new Dy Chief Minister of Kashmir is a Hindu nationalist (I mean part of BJP, irrespective of his religion)

 

[Judge]

We will.

 

[longewala]

Height of irony
A country that wiped out their minority Hindu and Sikh population, accuses another country where muslims have actually grown as a %, of changing the demographics of a state where the only change in population has happened because of the extermination of minority pundits by jihadis supported by terrorists supplied by the accusing country.

You seriously couldn't make this up.

Reminds you of the story of the man who murdered his parents and then begged for mercy from the judge because he was an orphan.
