No referendum should be held. A lot of Pro-India people have already died or deserted the state due to terrorism. The people who remain should either support India and live with it or migrate to Pakistan or China.

Kashmir is a part of India and will always remain a part of India.

Pakistan should forget Kashmir and think about solidfying its internal security.

Dhood maangogey toh Kheer denge..
Kashmir maangogey toh Cheer denge...

Yeah biggest joke of the century. Before lecturing others you might want to take care of that naxalite/maoist problem to your east. They've killed so many of your soliders and have blown up railroads and all kinds of infrastructure. Plus I've heard they have control over 10 or more states.

Bhagat Singh was considered a freedom fighter so does that mean he's terrorist and not innocent. Cause according to you can't be a freedom fighter and an innocent

POST REPORTED.

You either have no knowledge of Freedom movement in India or u are here to hurt the feelings of Indians for whom Bhagat Singh was a freedom fighter and Martyr. I have seen this kind of logic before too from Jana but thought that would be the end of such Sick posts, How would u feel if we call ........... leave it i am not going to get to ur level. :sick:

I was just giving an example to that guy who said that all freedom fighters are terrorists. I used Bhagat Singh because he was an indian freedom fighter. I never said he was a terrorist, if you read through you'll see that i'm hypothetically speaking. It was your own countrymen who called freedom fighters terrorists or not innocent. I did't mean to offend anyone

Continuous shutdown hits tourism sector in Kashmir

The continuous shutdown has adversely affected scores of poor pony owners in Yousmarg, a tourist spot in the valley.

These pony owners used to earn their livelihood by taking the tourists to the hills of Yousmarg.

But with the continuous demonstrations and curfews, there has been a decrease in the number of tourist inflow, which has affected tourism and allied trade.

Many pony owners believe that if the situation continues like this then they might have to sell off their ponies to support their families.

"We are almost 500 to 600 pony owners. Due to the shutdown everything has come to a standstill. Now we are in a situation that to support our families we may even have sell off our horses," said Gulzar Ahmad, a pony owner.

"The 5,000 families of 500 pony owners are in a miserable condition. But these leaders would only think about themselves and not of us," he added.

The pony owners further said the leaders do not understand the pain of poor men and only think about their own benefits.

"Shutdown has affected our business badly and we all are not happy with ongoing shutdowns. These rich leaders only know how to create problems for poor people like us," said Gulam Mohi-u-din Wani, a pony owner.

The separatist Hurriyat Conference announced a nine-day protest programme on July 16 against the atrocities being committed on Kashmiris by the troops.

The programme includes a complete shutdown, protests by Government employees and sit-ins to be observed by people across Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday and Thursday. (ANI)

Kashmir people fed up from routine bandh calls by separatists @ www.punjabnewsline.com

JAMMU: The routine protest programmes imposed by the separatists under the banner of Syed Ali Shah Gilani section of the Hurriyat Conference has irked majority of the people in Kashmir as the normal life across the Kashmir Valley has come to standstill following these programmes, which are enforced by the supporters of Hurriyat headed by Gilani.

These protest programmes of Hurriyat have brought many families particularly those who buy their bread and butter with their day's earning, on the verge of starvation. The recent 9 days long protest programme announced by the Hurriyat (G) has not only made the locals upset but internally there is great resentment brewing among the local people which could any time burst out against the separatists.

The common Kashmiri is of the view that after more than three weeks of curfews and shutdowns, life was returning to normalcy in the Kashmir valley but the protest programme, called in connection with the Hurriyat Conference's 'Quit Kashmir Campaign' on Friday has again forced the Valley and its common people remain indoor doing no job. The common Kashmiri people are displeased with the resent shutdown call, as it would again disrupt everyday life, their daily working, studies of school going children and those preparing for competitive examinations. Majority of the people who used to earn their two ends meal by working throughout the day are in real terms upset, even government offices functioning has disrupted and the people are not getting their works done. Though the Hurriyat Conference claims that the shutdown is being observed as a mark of protest against the 'atrocities being committed on Kashmiris by the troops', but forcing away and restraining the laborers from their work which helps them to earn two ends meal is not less than an imposed atrocity which is being enforced through such strike programmes.

The selfish attitude of the separatists has finally given room to the locals criticizing them for not thinking of the problems faced by the common man, as the unrest and shutdowns affect all type of workers who work in government or the private sector. Such shutdown from the past 20 days have affected badly those people who buy their bread and butter with their day's earning, now, they won't be having anything in their hands.

Interestingly Syed Ali Shah Geelani has called for a Valley-wide shutdown on Sunday to protest the alleged Human Rights (HR) violations by the security forces in Kashmir which is good, as every one should protest the HR violations committed anywhere across the globe but if the bread and butter of small children of labourers is being snatched due to such programmes, who will protest these Living Rights (LR) violations? Who will protest against those whose programmes are restricting school children form getting education? The attitude of the separatists which is against the interests of common Kashmiri and snatching bread and butter from them, has left no doubts on the role of these separatists who for their petty goals and well conspired agenda have never thought about the common man of Kashmir. What they (Separatists) can do is only using these innocent people as shields.

Now the people of Kashmir should realize that every one in Valley who has succeeded in making a place in media has been playing with their sentiments by making provocative speeches. Now these Kashmiri people have to think and not to get played in the hands of few selected people by using their own brain and stood up against those who are playing with the generations to come.

Good move.....But was this the same NHRC that kept a morbid silence wen 160 passengers were killed by Maoists some time back or 36 civilians were blown to bits by the same Maoists.?

Another ignorant post about Bhagath singh..
I guess the question has been answered in another thread before whether to call him terrorist or not.

Ignorant people can call him "Indian" freedom fighter, but people with a little brain knew he never targetted civilians and fought for the whole subcontinent.

Also a little information. he was born in banga in faisalabad district of Pakistan.

I dont see Kashmiris killing fellow Kashmiris....they are rebelling against whom they perceive as an occupying force

pre-independence hindustanys like this sardar Singh rebelled against britishers (commendable)

who knew that years later the alienated Muslims would also say Inquilab Zindabad, thanks to our Quaid e Azam -- a revolutionary who never even had to fire a weapon :)

First Only representative of Kashmir's have the right to say that Kashmir wants freedom. It cannot be India saying they do not or Pakistani saying they want.

So far the first struggle is do we have a clear representative of Kashmir who can say majority want's freedom?

Once that is done then anyone fighting for freedom can be termed as freedom fighter.

The UN resolution that people talk about does not have any representation from Kashmir and only has India and Pakistan representation, so that cannot be used to say Kashmir want's freedom as it is not their voice period.

So if you them want's to call a Kashmiri fighting in Kashmir as Freedom fighter, then even people in Baluchistan can be called freedom fighter.

Comparing the two, I also want to know how much the world gives credit to Mr Jinhha for India's independence? Compare what they achieved also.

SRINAGAR: One of Indian-Administered Kashmir’s “most wanted” militants has been killed in a fierce gunbattle, dealing a blow to the insurgency in the volatile Himalayan region, the military said Wednesday.

A Pakistani identified as Nouman, commander of the Pakistan-based Harkat-ul-Mujahedin rebel group in Indian-Administered Kashmir, was killed in an overnight shootout with soldiers, army spokesman JS Brar told AFP.

Harkat-ul-Mujahedin is one of a number of groups fighting against New Delhi’s rule in Muslim-majority Kashmir, which is divided between India and Pakistan. The most powerful group is thought to be Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

In recent years, Harkat and LeT have carried out joint operations, a move military analysts put down to depleting recruitment.

Brar said Nouman was the Kashmir valley’s “top most militant”, wanted for a number of attacks including masterminding a nearly 24-hour siege at a hotel in the centre of Indian-Administered Kashmir’s main city Srinagar in January.

“His death is a big jolt to insurgency in Kashmir,” he said, adding Nouman was an expert bomb-maker.

The gunbattle that killed him took place in Sopore town, about 50 kilometres, north of Srinagar, and also left an unidentified accomplice and an Indian soldier dead.

In further violence, police said suspected militants shot dead a civilian in the southern district of Kishtiwar early Wednesday.DAWN.COM | World | ?Most wanted? militant killed in Indian-Administered Kashmir
