Kashmiri's To Launch New Revolution If Talks Fail, Yasin Malik back to fighting talk

[HAIDER]

MUZAFFARABAD (updated on: June 17, 2008, 17:19 PST): Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Muhammad Yasin Malik has warned that if the ongoing dialogue process between India and Pakistan failed, the situation could provoke the Kashmiris into launching a new revolution.

He was speaking as chief guest at a function which was held amid irksome power fluctuations at a local hotel under the aegis of a non-governmental organisation, HOPE.

Malik, who is on a tour to Pakistan, said that the dialogue process had been perceived by the Kashmiris as a ray of hope because "across the globe the conflicts are ultimately resolved through negotiations."

However, he lamented that in the case of Kashmir the breakthrough had not been achieved as yet. "God forbid if this process fails to deliver, the ensuring situation will push the Kashmiris towards a new revolution," he warned.

The JKLF chief called for accelerating the pace of dialogue process "as fast as could make the settlement of Kashmir issue top priority of the governments in Islamabad and New Delhi."

"This will eventually help the people of India, Pakistan as well as Kashmir see the true peace which we are earnestly seeking since long," he said.

Yasin Malik is the biggest Joke!!!

Who gave him the authority to represent the people.He is scared of contesting the elections, he knows he is going to be routed in them.And, he is touring Pakistan in the capacity of representing the Kashmiris???

The guy was trained in Pakistan and began his career as a terrorist.

Later he changed his mind and began to talk about non-violence.

Looks like his mind has started to change again.

Mavericks like YasinMalik have to make remarks like these to stay in lime light.He his welcome to whatever he desires to do. Unfortunately this this the 'negative end' of a democracy wherein freedom of speech & movement allows yahoos like him to make such meaningless utterances.

If this were China, all the Gilanis and Yasin Maliks of the world would have been hanged a long time ago.

Can you provide a link to your claims? He was trained in Pakistan, and began his career as a terrorist?

As far as such issues are concerned. Most of the Indian Army in the Kashmir has been trained in India also, and most the time their first assignment was terrorism. Which indirectly means Indian Army jawans starting their career as terrorists?

Are you implying that the Indian Army is a terrorist organization?

Are you implying that the Indian Army is a terrorist organization?

Yes! IA is a terrorist organization they are supporting terrorist activities in other countries like Pakistan and doing state terrorism in occupied Kashmir.

 

[EagleEyes]

Are you implying that the Indian Army is a terrorist organization?

That is an interesting question. If such people can be labeled terrorists, then IMO Indian Army as a whole would be a terrorist organization wouldn't it be?

Iranian Revolution Guards earlier were listed as a terrorist organization. Why not the Indian Army?

 

[vish]

Yes! IA is a terrorist organization they are supporting terrorist activities in other countries like Pakistan and doing state terrorism in occupied Kashmir.

"State terrorim in occupied Kashmir;" how many times am I suppose to state this:

In a proxy-war, human rights violations will occur.

Please stop exagerating facts to suit your agenda.

Neither have I nor the IA denied that the conduct of some soldiers has been pathetic.

The citizens of the Indian side of Jammu & Kashmiris have no intent for a struggle (atleast not to the extent you claim), some Pakistanis want them to develop one.

If I go by human rights violations and the will to follow the law to judge the "terrorist quotient" of the Indian Army, then can do so for the PA as well?

Your country is in a state of crisis and this has more to do with Pakistan's and Pakistanis' actions than anything else.

Stop blaming Indian Army for your troubles in your country.

Such people as in?

JKLF led a violent and "terrorising" campaign; it is only now that they have moderated.

Don't compare the Indian Army to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (which by the way I've nothing against).

Further, if I go by your logic, every army in the world is a terrorist organization.

Pakistan is not perfect, off course we have some problems but India used to exploit those issues which are against Pakistan and they are interfering in the internal matters of Pakistan isn’t it?

 

[EagleEyes]

Stealth,

Give non-indian neutral links from an authentic website please.

Even though i got your point.

No offence intended.

Care to provide me with instances as to where exactly has India meddled to an extent that you're implying?

Hasn't Pakistan meddleds in India's affairs too?

I don't mind this "meddling," per se, because it is carried out by every country against almost every one of its pseudo-hostile counterparts.

So to use this argument as the basis of terming the IA as a terrorist organization goes beyond my logic.
