I have gone through the various acts by Pakistan that have made life difficult for the Kashmiris and that clearly give a lie to any claims of any kind of compassion for Kashmiris.
Just a very small list should point it out.
The 1947 Kabaili attacks that were not well received by the Kashmiris to put it mildly. We all know of the plunder of Muajaffarabad, the rape of Baramula and so on.
The 1947 invasion was based on the atrocities being committed upon the Kashmiris by the Maharajah and the subsequent thousands of refugees fleeing from areas of Kashmir, and Pakistan had nothing to do with the initial invasion that was out of our control for various reasons.
I posted about this here:

The 1965 attack in Kashmir that the Kashmiris fought shoulder to shoulder with Indian troops.
Bit of an exaggeration by you - since Pakistan ever attacked Kashmir in 1965. We infiltrated people into Kashmir,and they were found out before anything could take place, and India then started the war.
The 2 decade long terror campaign (Operation Topac) that made life hell for the Kashmiris.
Ahh yes - I asked you about that the last time you posted it, what the original source was, not the website. This is what I have found out since:
"When militancy erupted in Kashmir in 1989, some in New Delhi attributed it to Zia-ul-Haq's "Operation Topac". It was in fact a document published in Indian Defence Review in July 1989 sketching a scenario in the form of a speech by Zia. For quite some time our columnists had a field day brandishing it as "evidence". Only one writer had the courage and integrity to admit the error - K. Subrahmanyam."
Nehru vs Nehru
By the way, that site also mentions Nehru's subtle attempts to get the issue of Pakhtunistan going on Pakistan's Western border, a plan that the GoA then did put into practice, but which failed miserably.
Also:
" The broad sketch of Operation Topac was published in the July 1989 issue of the Indian Defence Review (IDR), the leading defense studies journal in India. According to the IDR, "the main contents from the President's address , which were leaked out, probably through a mole from a third world country, became available to India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) agents some time in September-October 1988. This document received much attention within the national security and intelligence communities in India. Edward Desmond and Victoria Schofield eventually reported that K Subrahmanyam, one of the architects of India's national security structure, acknowledged that Operation Topac was the result of a war-game scenario devised by the Indian intelligence service, RAW, and not and actual plan developed by Pakistani president Zia-ul-Haq."

Case closed on the mythical Operation Topac I believe.
Sending in maniacs like the Afghan veterans and other sundry leftovers from the Afghan war who were sure to add to the Kashmir's misery.
They formed a minority of those fighting Indian occupation, and if the Kashmiris were indeed so negatively affected by Pakistan's actions, India would have no qualms about conducting a plebiscite.
Irrespective of how you want to justify them, they show a callous lack of concern for the well being of the average Kashmiri.
Not at all - they illustrate a need to fight the Indian occupation, and once again, if the Kashmiris were that negatively impacted by the insurgency, then India would be sure that they would not choose Pakistan in a plebiscite - of course that is not the case, and hence India's violation of commitments and agreements on holding a plebiscite in Kashmir.
Heck you can't claim more compassion for Kashmiris than you have shown for Pakistanis themselves. I am sure I don't need to elaborate.
Pakistan shows the same amount of compassion for Pakistanis that India does for Indians - we both have corrupt and inefficient institutions and political systems and poor human rights records. So there is no argument to be made here against Pakistan that does not apply to India as well. And once again, if the Kashmiris believe that, they will show so in the voting booth in a plebiscite.
In any case, you refused to address the most basic points in my last post on why Pakistan has the moral high ground on Kashmir, so I will repeat them:
Just the fact that Pakistan stands for implementing the right of the Kashmiris to determine their future status on Kashmir themselves through a plebiscite, and India does not, despite agreeing to it multiple times earlier, gives us the 'higher moral ground'.
India stands for occupation and the violation of her commitments to the Kashmiri people, the international community and to Pakistan. Pakistan stands for implementing and honoring all of that.
