Low turnout, More Violence as Kashmiris Boycott India Poll

[Abhishek_]

Look we have neutral observers who give their verdict about the elections. They also give us the vote count. This is how things are verified in the election process. As I said I have no issues in accepting voter turnout in Mumbai or Bangalore as reported by Indian EC but we can't believe in figures reported by Indian govt for Kashmir.

Indian EC and GOI are completely different entities. EC has no agenda, political or otherwise.

Well Pakistan source is Dawn. A Very very liberal newspaper. Also we have presented some non Pakistani sources too. You can check them as well.

Just because it's very very liberal it doesn't become a Pakistani source?

Get me a source that actually refutes the voter turnout.

Well they need to fudge numbers since because of this lack of interest by people. Or else why would they create figures by themselves.

Meh.... That is no logic to be honest.

OK man. you win. No one can argue with such logic, sometimes you let the kid win.

Only a quarter of voters have turned out in Jammu and Kashmir so far in the five-week election, in a show of passive resistance to rule from New Delhi and concern over a likely victory by Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

True. There is a kid who is quoting me again and again and I am ignoring him to let him win.

EC is still Indian right??? Hence it is not credible for us.

I checked several sources I think the percentage for the whole state of J&K is 43%. The earlier 49.98% was only for two constituencies. 43% is definitely on the lower side but it is by no means poor for a state like J&K and it is as much as KPK, more than Baluchistan and FATA in Pakistan. It would be foolish to think that some people didn't boycott elections but we don't really care about those separatist. They can get the **** out of Kashmir for all we care. 43% is a pretty respectable number.

Bold part. This logic is demolished but no issues. You can use it. All Indian logic about Kashmir are bogs anyways.

The nation will be out-raged, Kashmiri resolve will get stronger - and your security apparatus better be up to task b/c the backlash would be biblical

Wouldn't hold my breath on that one...
