Kashmir Update

The hype about the G20 working group on tourism holding a meeting in Kashmir is slowly coming unstuck. Some members of the G20 have decided not to attend at all while some others have scaled down their participation.

The reign of terror and oppression in Kashmir that started 74 years ago continues unabated. Why is the independence of Kashmir not an important issue for the world that talks about animal rights but ignores human rights?

Member Provincial Assembly (MPA) Chaudhry Lateef Nazar on Monday said self-determination is a fundamental right of Kashmiri people and it must be granted to them in accordance with the UN Resolution.

Today, Pakistanis & Kashmiris across the world commemorate Kashmir Black Day, when Indian troops landed in Srinagar to occupy & subjugate Kashmiri people. Since that black day in 1947, the illegal Indian occupation has failed to undermine the Kashmiris struggle for freedom.

This is not an obituary or a tribute to the late brother, I can’t do that, i am not coming to terms with what has happened, and find it incredibly difficult to deal with the reality. I could only imagine Br Tajamul a living person full of life, energised and energising, ever exuding confidence. He was to me what nobody else is.

5th August 2019 is not a day of landmark significance for Kashmir's Freedom movement, it is more integral to the history of India's strategic management of Kashmir occupation

Narendra Modi’s meeting with India’s main political assets in Kashmir—Farooq Abdullah, Ms Mufti et al. recently held in Delhi was primarily aimed at paving the ground for political process in the occupied land.

India’s invite for talks to its former deputies in Kashmir is an open admission of its total defeat in pushing for a complete annexation of Kashmir post 5/8/19

The solace of having a kind neighbour is no less than a blessing for anyone. I was blessed to have late Ghulam Mohididin Pandit as my neighbour. This neighbourhood boosted the bond of brotherhood and fraternity among us. This proximity resulted in frequent exchange of ideas & discussions as well, like social, political and religious issues.

Ghulam Mohiddin Pandit of Nawpora, Srinagar is no more. He breathed his last in Rainawari Hospital at about 11.45 pm on Friday, 21st of May 2021. The deceased was one of the few blessed souls in Kashmir who selflessly worked among the youth to create an Islamic political consciousness in them, putting the liberation of Kashmir from India and the unity of Ummah  at its forefront. He abhorred limelight and lived a simple and clean life.

Palestine issue is about the disappearance of a country from the map of the world. This happened by land grab by Zionist terrorists, under a fully thought-through, long-term strategic plan of the colonial West. The people rendered homeless are protesting, the land grabbers are acting as a democratic state being threatened by   these protesters whom they call terrorists.

US House of Representatives has voted for President Trump’s impeachment and thus sent a message loud and clear: America’s seats of power must remain violence free so that death and destruction can safely be unleashed in rest of the world.

Habib Wangnoo scanned the silvery lake from the deck of his vacant houseboat hotel, remembering when he helped Mick Jagger out of a narrow, flat-bottomed canoe during the rock star’s 1981 visit to Kashmir. Mr. Jagger spent most of the next two weeks on the boat’s upper deck, Mr. Wangnoo recalled with a smile. The lead singer of the Rolling Stones strummed his black guitar and jammed with Kashmiri folk musicians as they watched the moonlight dance across the Himalayas. Today, Nagin Lake is desolate and quiet as a tomb, devoid even of the rowing touts who normally trawl the water. There are no tourists, no money and little hope.

New Delhi: News from the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh this week included reports of a Tibetan trooper’s death in a blast at Pangong Tso, one of the sites of tensions between India and China. The reports of Tenzin Nyima’s death in a landmine blast, and the emergence of images showing his body wrapped in the Indian and Tibetan flags, brought focus on an extremely secretive security force comprising trained mountain warriors. Nyima was a member of the Special Frontier Force (SFF), an Indian security unit that is primarily drawn from the thousands of Tibetan refugees who now call India home. It was formed in the immediate aftermath of the 1962 war with China, which resulted in a defeat for India.

Prime Minister Imran Khan's outreach to Hasina wajid, the Bangladesh PM, is a commendable strategic move. The two leaders talked over the phone for 15 minutes, and although Kashmir also came up for discussion, yet regardless of what was discussed, the phone call itself is geo-strategically very significant.

Wasim Bari, the so-called BJP leader of Bandipora in Kashmir has been gunned down. We strongly condemn any and every act of terrorism, but in all fairness terrorism is not the issue here, betrayal. The real issue here is betrayal and treachery of which this BJP leader, a despicable nut, clown to the core, was guilty of. Dying the death of a traitor----can there be a worse end to life than that??? I won’t be surprised if no one accepts to lead his jinazah----funeral prayer.

This picture is a blot on world leaders conscious and UNSC. Indian aggression against humanity continues without a word against it from any world leaders

Modi's fascist India kills innocent civilians even for raising slogans for liberation of Kashmir. The lament of this 3 yr old boy sitting on the chest of his killed grandfather must be heard by the world & then a soldier stands on body of g/father. Heinous, Criminal, Cruel.

If there is any humanity left in Indian leadership, they cannot but feel ashamed at this sight of a child sitting on his father's dead body in kashmir
