US terms Kashmir Valley protest India’s internal matter

WASHINGTON: The United States said on Saturday that it would like Indian and Pakistani foreign ministers to discuss the Kashmir dispute when they meet in Islamabad later this month.

US State Department’s deputy spokesman Mark Tone also told journalists that the current situation in Indian occupied Kashmir was India’s internal issue and asked protesters to conduct agitations in a peaceful manner.

“We always support dialogue between India and Pakistan,” Mr Toner said when asked if Kashmir should be discussed between the two countries.

“We regret the loss of life in this incident. It is an internal Indian matter. We respect the efforts of the government of India to investigate and resolve the current situation in Kashmir,” he said, adding that the United States had always encouraged India and Pakistan to resolve all its differences through dialogue.

“In terms of the protest, we would just urge everyone to refrain from violence and conduct protest in a free and peaceful manner,” said the US official.

Now why on Earth would the US urge India to talk to Pakistan about an internal matter?

Of course the protest is by Kashmiris and the US going by UN resolutions does not recognize the KAshmiris as an official party of the dispute only India and Pakistan.

The best thing the US can do is forget about India and Pakistan and only recognize Kashmiris as the official party of the dispute! It does not mean the US does not recognize it as a dispute - their main guy said so in your nations capital.

A good story.

No wonder the BBC was called Bluff Bluster Corporation!

This is hardly the sentiment that is displayed. It is the usual journalistic ploy of writing fiction that appeals and stating that the source wants to be anonymous!

There is no doubt, it is a sad task. Who likes killing anyone? Not me I assure you. But when it is someone else killing me, then maybe I can overcome the distaste and take action necessary even if it is day in and day out.

It is cold. It is lonely. But then the Army life is no bed of roses! Ask those SSG chaps at Lal Majzid. Did they like doing what they did? NO. But then, if they did not do it, their country's stability would go for a six. And the enemies of Pakistan would rip its innards!

A tough decision. But a decision where the love of one's country (and thus all citizens of the country) is pitted with the basic instinct being a human being with love for all including traitors and the enemy!

The Lal Mazjid chaps were traitors to the stability of Pakistan!

Oh please.. He said there is a dispute(universally known)..but he never said anything to resolve it. He left it to us. I don't think it would matter even if Obama said something.. any resolution on Kashmir would be vetoed by Russia..India would see to it.

 

[EgO Boy]

Hey hey, There are people over here who dont understand Hindi/Urdu, can we please stick on to the Queen MOM's english

YOU STICK TO UR MOM, WE STICK TO OUR'S

 

[MYSTIC]

US will not say a word on Kashmir. You could see how Obama was trying to avoid or dodge questions related to Kashmir.

Now why would the US want to do that? And just after calling India-US ties indispensable? If the US was in the habit of shooting themselves in the foot, they would done so long ago, on a certain matter of Tibet. The first reaction of the Kashmiri separatists was one of disappointment. Now they are clutching at straws in the vain hope that they won't be dismissed as irrelevant by a lot of fellow Kashmiris. Hence this pathetic claim.No one else is buying it.

I am surprised that so many buy the idea that the India can be decisively influenced by American stand on Kashmir. If as many claim, Pakistan can't be influenced to do more than it believes to be in its national interest by the US, then what realistic chance do the Americans have with India- a country that's in a relatively far better position than Pakistan.

Sooner or later a good human being would be elected to the White house and won't be able to ignore that the biggest democracy is committed to being a force against self-determination.

Awwwww... that melted my heart.

Hear's another scenario- sooner or later a good human being would be elected to the white house who will first ask the kashmiri muslims and pakistanis , why they did what they did to the kashmiri minorites and after all that , what moral right do they have to cry for the human rights of the majority there ?

And that good human being would also ask what this freedom movement has to do with 'Kashmiriyat' as the separatists like to claim when it is only the kashmiri sunni muslims who support it and no one else .

Sooner or later a good human being would be elected to the White house and won't be able to ignore that the biggest democracy is committed to being a force against self-determination.

And why would that good human being be satisfied with just that. Might want to also look at the Baluchistan issue, the Tibetan issue, the Kurdish issue & so on. Why would a good human being bother himself with technicalities of whether something is disputed or not?

Btw, the question i raised earlier of why the whole lot of you guys believe that the US can influence us to act against what we perceive to be our national interest remains unanswered.

Kashmiri Sunni Muslims of valley would be more aptly put.
