When do the Protesters ever say that Protests will stop ?

It is the job of the protesters to say protests will continue, otherwise it will kill the idea of being a protester. They wont be called protesters if they said protests will stop lol..This is senseless. Protesters have been protesting for decades and they can go on protesting for millenia's

All-party team visits Kashmir hospitals, Hazratbal - The Economic Times

SRINAGAR: The all-party delegation from Delhi Tuesday visited the Hazratbal shrine and hospitals, continuing its assessment of the ground situation in Kashmir, even as curfew was in place in Srinagar and other major towns in the valley.

"Indefinite curfew continues in Srinagar city and other major towns of the valley. Curfew restrictions have continued following reports that the miscreants had planned to incite violence to coincide with the visit of the delegation," a senior police officer said here.

The delegation is led by union Home Minister P. Chidambaram. Asaduddin Owaisi and Sushma Swaraj were among the members who visited the Hazratbal shrine. The Muslim shrine here is held sacred by many as it preserves what many believe to be a hair of Prophet Muhammad.

Some leaders from Delhi are also visiting hospitals, among them the bone and joint hospital here, to meet people injured during clashes with the security forces in 103 days of unrest in Kashmir Valley, during which 102 people have lost their lives.

Some members of the delegation Monday called on three prominent separatist leaders -- Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik -- despite their refusal to meet the Delhi leaders.

Interestingly, all the three separatist leaders refused to talk to delegation members even inside their houses and insisted it be done before the media.

The practice of speaking to the MPs only before the media was begun by hardline pro-Pakistani separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani and has been taken up by Mirwaiz Umer and Yasin Malik.

Geelani expressed inability to serve tea to his guests as he said there was no tea or milk in the house because of the indefinite curfew imposed by the authorities.

He also stuck to his five-point agenda which includes acceptance of Kashmir as an international dispute as the first and foremost demand before a dialogue can be started between New Delhi and local separatists.

The delegation also met representatives of trade, industry, tour and travel, tourism, transport, apple growers, NGOs, students from local universities, vice-chancellors and some prominent local writers and journalists.

Representatives of local Sikhs also called on the delegation Monday evening. A deputation of Gujjars and Bakerwals also met the team to discuss their problems in the state.

'Ready for meaningful talks' - The Times of India

SRINAGAR: The all-party delegation to Kashmir split up into different groups to meet politicians of different hues but secured no concrete assurances on ending the swirling protests that have engulfed the Valley since June 11.

''Let GOI acknowledge Kashmir as international dispute, start demilitarization of Jammu & Kashmir, revoke draconian laws like AFSPA, Public Safety Act and release political prisoners,'' Syed Ali Shah Geelani told the members of the all-aprty group who met him on Monday. The 81-year-old leader also demanded prosecution of security forces responsible for the killing of protesters. '' India has no legitimacy to rule Jammu & Kashmir and should withdraw occupational forces for restoration of normalcy in Jammu & Kashmir,'' Geelani told the MPs.

The visitors to Geelani's home were CPM's Sitaram Yechury, Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen's Asaduddin Owaisi, DMK's T R Baalu, Akali Dal's Ratan Singh Ajnala, and TDP's Namo Nageshwara Rao.

''We were disappointed with Geelani's hard stand. Our stand on Kashmir is that it's an integral part of India. About other demands, we share Geelani's views,'' said Asaduddin Owaisi.

Yechury suggested that restoration of normalcy would pave the way for discussing some of the separatists' demands. But Geelani rejected the line, saying restoration of normalcy was linked to acceptance of the demands. ''We are very sad that more than 100 people have been killed. We don't want our brethren should get killed here. We have come here to express our concern for the deaths, but normalcy should be restored,'' Yechury told Geelani.

And Balochistan is not IOK. So keep it out of it. IOK has it's own reasons to burn, the biggest one is it doesn't belong to India.

IOK - Sorry J&K - Sorry the Valley has only one reason to burn - A misplaced yearning of revenge for something that was essentially a self-inflicted wound with a dose of religious intolerance thrown in.

Nothing more,Nothing less.

First:

Palestine - UN recognised right to indpendence,Kashmir - Un doesnt recognise independence

Palestine - Did any ruler formally accede to Israel - NO ; Kashmir - the Maharaja formally signed the instrument of accession to make it a part of India.

Palestine - are the Palestinians chased out from Palestine- yes ; Kashmir - are the Kashmiris chased outfrom Kashmir - no (if the Hindus/Sikhs/Jains qualify as "Kashmiris" then maybe Yes)

Palestine - is their territory being occupied by settlers - yes : Kashmir - is territory being occupied by Hindu settlers from rest of India - NO

Palestine
- do Tanks ,bulldozers regularly demolish homes,buildings - YES ; Kashmir - Have Tanks even come once inside SriNagar - NO

Palestine - Do attack Helicopters regularly fire missiles at anything moving - YES ; Kashmir - Does that thing happen here - NO

Palestine - IS any HAMAS leader safe from MOSSAD - NO ; Kashmir - IS any hair on the head of a separatist leader harmed - NO .Infact they are given treatment at the taxpayers expense in Delhi and Mumbai


Palestine - Do the Israeli police calmly bear all the stones thrown on them - NO ; Kashmir - Poor CRPF not even allowed to fire and given only a lathi in hand.

Palestine - IS there a shortage of basic materials - YES ; Kashmir - one of the least poor states in India with annual assitance going into thousands of crores.

Palestine - IS there any blockade of essential supplies in place - YES ; Kashmir - NO[/B]



so basically the quoted part goes down the drain.

Second:



Indians praise Israel,not some lonely figure sitting in Ireland pretending to be a columnist.

Thirdly:



The thread starter forgot to bold these particular words.So now what happens to the deeper than ocean friendship.?

Amazing post and clearly explains how the situation in Palestine is different from situation in Kashmir... Whoever tries to equate the two, should read these points and understand....

The Hindu : States / Other States : All-party team to visit Tangmarg, city hospitals

The all-party delegation will visit Tangmarg on Tuesday, which witnessed incidents of arson recently, hospitals in the city to meet those injured during clashes, and the Hazratbal shrine.

The high-level delegation led by Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram, which on Monday held discussions with various shades of opinion including the hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, will form three groups.

One of the groups will visit Tangmarg to make an on-the-spot assessment of the September 13 incidents of arson in which a Missionary school and several government buildings were set ablaze by a mob.

Five persons were killed in this incident after police had to fire at the unruly crowd, who were protesting against the alleged desecration of Holy Koran in the United States.

The second group will visit hospitals in the city to meet those injured in clashes with security forces.

The PDP had asked the all-party delegation to visit the affected areas, including hospitals and district headquarters, to get a first hand account of the sufferings of the people.

The third group will pay obeisance at the Hazratbal Shrine.

The 42-member delegation that includes BJP leaders Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitely, Left leaders Sitaram Yechury and Gurudas Dasgupta are in the state to assess the ground situation against the backdrop of unabated unrest that has claimed over 100 lives in the last three months.
