Special US Resolution vindicates stand of KPS: Panun Kashmir

[Yeti]

Expressing satisfaction over introduction of a special resolution on Kashmiri Pandits in the US House of Representatives, Panun Kashmir today said the resolution has vindicated their stand that the community is a victim of terrorist violence, aided and abetted by Pakistan.


"We express deep satisfaction over the introduction of a special resolution on Kashmir and Kashmiri Pandits in the US House of Representatives by influential Democratic Congressman, Frank Pallone," Panun Kashmir, organisation for displaced Kashmiri Pandits, President Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo today said while addressing the executive council meeting.

The resolution was introduced yesterday by Pallone. This historic resolution in the US law making body vindicates the stand of the organisation that the Kashmiri Pandits, against whom acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing took place in their ancestral habitat, are the main victims of terrorist violence, aided and abetted by Pakistan, he said.

Frank Pallone is a great friend of India and has always supported the Indian cause in the US, he said.

We are thankful for introduction of the current resolution in the US House of Representatives which condemns the terrorist and extremist violence in Kashmir, lack of religious freedom and human rights violations committed against the Kashmiri Pandits, he added.

Pallone had insisted in his resolution that terrorist infrastructure in the region must be dismantled and the terrorists held accountable for their actions, he said.

The resolution moved by Pallone reflects his deep understanding of the historical and cultural moorings of the Kashmiri Pandits as the original inhabitants of Kashmir, he said.

The government should take lead from the resolution and appropriate and proactive measures must be taken against terrorism and also ameliorate the suffering of the Kashmiri Pandits who have been living as refuges in their own country for the last two decades, he said.



Good news that the voice of the Pandits are being heard and let truth prevail

Yes, the Pundits' expulsion from their ancestral homes is very tragic. But how about the US Congress makes some recognition of the even greater tragedy inflicted upon the Kashmiri Muslims by the Indian forces?
Oh, wait, the US Congress will not do that until and unless the Congressmen's pockets are filled. There is a reason as to why the US Congress now has a record 82% dis-approval rating. Hint: It may be they can be bought up by any lobbies against America's own interests. And this resolution is more likely a result of $$ pouring into their pockets.

Pandits/Brahmins or in short non muslims have been tortured in Kashmir and Pakistan has been supporting the torture against Kashmiri hindus.
Good it has come out.

Kashmiri muslims have suffered more by militant hands then the Indian security forces hence why thousands of them have joined the Indian army to fight against the jihadis. As for lobbying the ISI provided $4million to a Kashmiri group based in USA which was down right illegal and the culprits later were arrested.



The US said Mr Fai's Pakistani handlers funnelled millions of dollars from the country's intelligence agency, the ISI, through a front group, the Kashmiri American Council.

"Mr Fai is accused of a decades-long scheme with one purpose - to hide Pakistan's involvement behind his efforts to influence the US government's position on Kashmir," US Attorney Neil MacBride said.


BTW these persons were only caught due to the game being played by US and Pak right now otherwise it would have been business as usual.

@Yeti,
I don't deny grave injustice done to the Kashmiri pundits. It was not done in my name. The Kashmiri Muslims rose up in 1989 as a result of huge mismanagement by India in Kashmir--a fact recognized by even most Indians. So please don't just keep repeating 'ISI, ISI, ISI...'. The other side of the coin is even more discolored.
About the US busting ISI, well, it's part of the tit-for-tat reactions between US and Pakistan since the OBL raid. Don't read too much into that. Many countries of the world are trying to influence the Congressmen, who, btw, are more than willing to take the $$ and pass 'resolutions' to move onto the next lobby.

I know that they were only arrested due to the current situation between US and Pakistan, it is funny both Indians and Pakistanis give US congress $$ to lobby on the Kashmir issue when millions live in poverty in our own countries, how about using the same funds to make life better for all Kashmiris? Im starting to think democracy is one big scam! When will India and Pakistan realise Uncle Sam do not give rats *** about Kashmir it is not holy land unlike Israel for them but one big cash cow to be milked.

@Yeti,
You have hit the nail on the head in the last post.
But 'democracy' is not a scam. India could not have survived without it; a military rule in India would have ruined India much more than the military rule in Pakistan did.

Being a Kasmiri Pundit ...everything isent as black and white with the situation..
I kno for a fact that if given Incentive, Muslims have a tendency to forsake all morals for what they think is right.
Ive seen Muslim friends turn on u In an instant like u never even existed.. This is a Fact and somewhat infuriating. and has to whit there trend of education.

No matter what, i truly despise the Fanatic Muslims and i for one am not going to sit back and not give the terrorists what they deserve.

Maybe my next generation would be insulated to this mess but nevertheless for now ... no ones backing off

Not Entirely true bra.... Every system should be practiced within limits be it Democracy or An autocracy ... If its not so both systems run into trouble with some element or the other holding these systems hostage to there own principles...Be it the Separatism in a Democracy or an outright narcissistic Autocrat in an autocratic system

sometimes u need to be a hypocrite to do what the long term demands.

Ur ideal world never was and never will exist .. but we can get dam close only at the sacrifice of those who do the dirty deed with or without honor but always for peace never for war.

You should be careful with these kind of statements. Your own country has at least 150 million Muslims and some of them are reading these lines, not to mention there are Arabs, Iranian, Turkish, Bangladeshi Muslims on this Forum who will be offended by the lines. You have every right to criticize the militants but be careful. This kind of statements abound in Bharat Rakshak--a poison well continually filled with poison rain. May be you are too influenced by that forum.

by the way you need to correct some facts here, the uprising was not due to mismanagement by Indian but ,
1971 India supported Mukti Bahini and resulted in libaration of Bangala desh.,
Mid 1980s USSR occupied Afganistan & US of A supported the libration groups, resulted in withdrowal of USSR from Afganistan.
Pakistan was part of boath the situations, they saw everything and try to replicate it in Kashmir.
Why was there no revolt in Kashmir from 1948 to 1987????????

But things went horribaly wrong ,
Pak failed to gather support of the Kashmiries to the extent India gather of Bangaladeshi or US of A of the Afgan tribals.
Rest all we know, neither then way back in 1987, nor now Pak have full support of Kashmiries. Infact its on decline day by day.

Actually, the 1989 Kashmiri uprising was indigenous; it was building up to that. Pakistan decided to take advantage of that--especially since the 'jihadi' resource could be diverted from Afghanistan to Kashmir in 1989 with the Soviets withdrawing. Just like India (Indira Gandhi) hinted at supporting the Sindhi nationalists when the MRD campaign against Zia ul Haq started in 1983. Both countries look for any opportunity to take advantage of each other.

But..just like India realized that supporting the Tamils of LTTE was an error Pakistan too realized that the jihadis are a threat to Pakistan itself. So, under Musharraf in 2004, Pakistan has effectively stopped the kind of support to the militants inside Kashmir. Pakistani forces used to give artillery cover to the Kashmiris going into the Indian part of Kashmir. That has stopped. And Musharraf was called a 'traitor' and a 'sell out' and was even attacked at least once by a so-called Kashmiri.

Not that I want that to happen but the tap of militants crossing into Kashmir is not hard to re-open. Kashmiris may not want to be part of Pakistan but there is still a HUGE amount of problem against India. But both countries' leadership is tentatively moving toward a thaw. That is unmistakable. The clearest indication of that came when the latest Mumbai attacks did not cause an automatic accusation against Pakistan by India.

The original inhabitants of kashmir were Kashmiri pundits n brahmins..they are peaceful n soft...they were forced to vacate by these Islamic terrorist ..many were killed many were converted forcefully...

Good that they are raising their voice... we support u kashmiri pandits

There are no 'original' people in Kashmir, as in most places in the world. Humans have displaced each other in wave after waves of aggression over a long period. What if there were others living before the Pundits? What if the Pundits themselves had some other religion, like worship of fire or sun, before Hinduism? At any rate, almost all the people in the subcontinent, despite their religious background, are indigenous people. Invaders from elsewhere may have 'forced' them to change religion but the ties to the land go back too far to even call them non-original.

This is all to familiar folly by the Indians to think that 'Muslims' are not native. I can tell you personally that my own ancestors were Hindus who converted to Islam hundreds of years ago in Rajasthan. Religion may have changed but the ties to the land are the same.
