This thread is taking its lead from following two news
- Pakistan has raised issue of Kashmir in UN and demanded Plebiscite
- India has rejected Pakistan's demand of Plebiscite and shown its usual lameness
Suggestion:
Lets begin this process of Plebiscite in Azad Kashmir which is the independent state of Kashmir outside Indian Occupation. By starting the process of Plebiscite in Azad Kashmir, we will
- Take this issue to a new level altogether, appreciated under international law
- Give a new goal to Kashmiris under Indian Occupation to demand it with more zeal
- Destroy flimsy Indian stance that Kashmiris are already exercising their right to vote under Indian Constitution
- Complete half of the process asked by UN resolutions, pressurising India to complete its half (we know India would try to play but we can always demand international and neutral audience - which will open doors of international press and Media to Kashmir which India has blocked since decades)
- Give Kashmiris a more legitimate channel to exert their energies and connect with Pakistan and Azad Kashmir for good reasons and more.
- Plebiscite should carry three questions,
- Azad Kashmir should be independent territory
- Azad Kashmir should be part of Pakistan
- Azak Kashmir should be part of India
- This will be hard to counter by India - India at best can reject its results but Indian opinion matters least here.
- Countries who previously sided with India will also find hard to object or reject such an initiative. Factually there are no grounds of rejection of independent observes are invited.
- Scotland has recently went through that and there is a recent example before the world where opinion of people shaped their future.
I know this is not official thread but if this Idea seems workable, we can make it a National and Kashmir Voice. If this happens, Pakistan has nothing to loose but as a result of this Plebiscite, it and Kashmiris can gain a lot.
