Kashmir Banega Pakistan: A dream sold to brainwash us since childhood now lies in tatters

30 years on, Pakistan’s Kashmir policy has borne no fruits for regular Pakistanis, other than polarising society and instilling hate against India.

When the Narendra Modi government scrapped the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and announced its decision to turn the state into a Union Territory Monday, it caught the thekedars of Kashmir in Pakistan off guard. The reactions from the Imran Khan government were anything but serious, that too for a piece of land they once called their own.

Honestly, losing cricket matches to India have had better reactions in Pakistan. But the bigger question is: can Imran Khan’s government run without a Kashmir cause, as the saying goes ‘hukoomat petrol se nahin, Kashmir cause se chalti hai’.

Everyone in the ruling elite sold the ‘Kashmir banega Pakistan’ chooran to the best of their benefit – those in the Pakistani military to keep themselves viable, the politicians to use it during elections, the religious cartel to fan anti-Hindu sentiments, and the ordinary Pakistani to just watch all of them make hay.

Brainwashing since childhood

‘Kashmir banega Pakistan’ is what we were told as kids. ‘But how will it become a part of Pakistan when it is in India?’ We would ask. ‘Kashmir hamari shahrag hai (Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan)’. So how are we managing to survive without this vein? The questions, we were told, had no answers, so they better not be asked either.

Growing up in the 1990s, our daily dose of brainwashing involved a 20-minute programme on Kashmir after the 9pm news on Pakistan Television. With Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Iss duniya k gham jane kab hu gy kam playing in the background, we saw agonising images of Kashmir. It would eulogise Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Yasin Malik, Syed Ali Shah Geelani and other Kashmiri leaders – we were told that these men were the real heroes.

‘Our heart should bleed for Kashmir,’ was the loud and clear message. But how can the heart bleed for something that was only a state-imposed reality? We would think.

The rulers of Pakistan came and went but what remained unchanged was Pakistan’s Kashmir cause. A cause for which daring to be indifferent amounted to blasphemy of sorts.

Once a year, Pakistanis would get a day to free Kashmir. Every 5 February, they show solidarity with their Kashmiri brethren. School tableaux depict innocent Kashmiri girls singing folk songs and out of nowhere come Indian soldiers firing gunshots to arouse pathos in the audience.

The happenings of Kashmir Day always remained unclear – a national holiday which seemed just like any other off day. Kashmir Day would involve everything other than liberating Kashmir. Waking up late, watching Indian films, and hanging out with friends was our contribution to the cause of Kashmir.

And then there were the poster boys of Kashmir freedom movement. Hafiz Saeed, Syed Salahuddin or Ahmed Ludhianvi from banned militant outfits taking out processions, apprising the Pakistanis of the Kashmir issue. But why would you preach to the converted already?

What Pakistan’s Kashmir policy achieved

Now, nearly three decades later, Pakistan’s Kashmir policy has borne no fruits for regular Pakistanis, other than polarising the society on the basis of jihad and instilling hate against India. The government of Pakistan expects the inflation-battling awaam to reunite for the Kashmir cause. But why?

Whether or not your heart bleeds for your own ethnic (Pashtuns, Baloch, Hazaras, Mohajir) and religious minorities (Shias, Ahmadis, Christians, Hindus), your heart must bleed for the Kashmiris. It doesn’t matter whether the Kashmiris want it or not.

Prime minister Imran Khan, who recently concluded what we were told was a successful visit to the United States, now finds himself answerless in front of the roaring opposition in Parliament. While he had pleaded US President Donald Trump of mediating on Kashmir issue, he now doesn’t know what actually happened with him. Clueless as ever, in his streetfighter style, the premier told what Narendra Modi’s BJP has done wasn’t cool, and like an astrologer, he also told what could happen. But what was missing as usual was what his plan was. Being unable to do anything about India’s constitutional amendment is one thing; giving sermons about the past quite another.

Pushing the international community to raise the issue of Kashmir is a lost cause, as is evident from the last 70 years of UN General Assembly outings. Also, Pakistan’s recent foreign policy debacles don’t help the cause either. Imran Khan, who had called on Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad for help, forgot how Mahathir had categorically said when he had visited Pakistan that he won’t take sides in the Kashmir conflict. Mahathir had also said that the reason for Malayisa’s success was that it isn’t in conflict with any of its neighbours.

During the Indian parliamentary election, Imran Khan had reiterated that Narendra Modi could solve the Kashmir issue. Like an astrologer, Khan got it right. The new measures from New Delhi signal towards etching the Line of Control into a permanent international boundary and like the Punjab and Bengal, Kashmir now too is partitioned.

  1. It is well known to the whole world that Pakistan is a state sponsored terrorism. Pakistan is a epicenter for Islamic terrorism. That Pakistan spent millions of rupees on terror outfit Jamat-ud-Dawa (JuD), the country’s Interior Minister admitted on national television. There is a human rights violations in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Kashmir is India’s internal issue & there is no room for Pakistan or any other foreign country to interfere in it. Kashmir is Legitimate part of India. Even POK is also belongs to India. Pakistan is creating turmoil in Jammu and Kashmir for decades by using terrorism as a tool to set its agenda. Pakistan is getting desperate to launch terror attacks in Kashmir. Pakistan is promoting terrorism in the region, including in Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Islamabad has reportedly been discriminating against its religious minorities which is manifested in various forms of targeted violence, mass murders, extrajudicial killings, forced conversion to Islam, etc., making the Pakistani Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Ahmadiyyas and Shias one of the most persecuted minorities in the region. Rogue state Pakistan is a breeding ground for terrorism. It’s also a threat for the world because it is a rogue state, there is no law, no justice. Pakistan is committing “systematic genocide” of the minorities. The aid provided to Pakistan by foreign countries and international organisations to combat terrorism in its soil is instead being used to build madrassas for funding illegal activities and train suicide bombers for carrying out terror activities in the region.

  2. Imagine having a gun pointed at your head all the time, imagine having thorns on your foot, do you simply ignore it or take some remedial action? that is Kashmir today, India dedicates over 500 000 troops in Kashmir to keep peace, no other state in India needs so much care and attention, in fact, Kashmir is hampering the progress of India for over seventy years now. Does India simply hand over Kashmir? No, it cannot, because it is a strategic asset and is therefore non-negotiable. India does not meddle in the internal affairs of other countries so India has to do what’s best in it’s own interest. Note well that India is not a child and cannot be bullied any longer.

    All that Kashmiris need to do is to abide by the laws of India like the other 1.3 billion people living in the country and live a happy and peaceful life.
    Did you know that Kashmir has the lowest productivity levels compared to any other state in India because most people prefer not to work, they’ve been enjoying benefits from the central government in India for decades now, in fact, there are hardly any Kashmiri youngsters who pursue higher studies because they simply do not want to do any work after completing high school.

    Two clarifications, don’t compare Palestine to Kashmir, as the people in Kashmir are completely free and certainly not oppressed, also an interesting fact is that Muslims in India enjoy amongst the greatest freedoms and choices compared to any other country in the world and they are totally integrated into society and not treated as a separate group.

  3. VEry well written…. i must say miss naila that “Lifafay ka haq ada kar dia ap nay”… If in future there be given an award for molding facts and spreading misinformation and being true successor of Meer Jaffery and Meer Sadiq , IT SHOULD & IT MUST BE GIVEN TO YOU & Maj. ADNAN SAMI…lol.. Fortunately or unfortunately i am also a 90’s baby so thats why i can look straight through your bullshit. With all due respect.. would the respected writer like to tell me that if “Kashmir banega Pakistan” is such a forgotten dream and such a “LOST CAUSE”… and if our Kashmiri brethern are so happy and eager to join India Officially… then WHY THE HELL THEIR PROTESTERS ARE CHANTING THE SAME SLOGAN IN THEIR PROTESTS..?? Dont believe me or the Pakistani media for that matter…coz “hum tho Pak Army ke muhabbat mai andhay ho chukay hain na…?? we are a brain washed lot by our Army”.. so why dont you go and check out the INTERNATIONAL MEDIA AND SEE ITS NEWS WHICH SHOWS KASHMIRIS CHANTING THE SLOGAN “KASHMIR BANAY GA PAKISTAN” AND ” PAKISTAN SAY RISHTA KIA… LA ILAHA ILLALLAH”… & “HUM KIA CAHTAY HAIN..?AZAADI” & LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST ” LAY KAY RAHAIN GY AZAADI… CHEEHN KAY RAHAIN GY AZAADI”..!!! Would you like to tell me miss writer that WHY ON EARTH DOES THE KASHMIRI PEOPLE WRAP THEIR SHUDHADA IN PAKISTANI FALG…?? ( this is also shown by international media) OR WHY DO THEY HAVE PAKISTANIS FLAGS IN THEIR HANDS WAVING ENTHUSIASTICALLY WHENEVER THEY PROTEST AGAINST THE ATROCITIES OF STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM OF INDIA…?? IF KASHMIR IS REALLY ALL THAT HAPPY AND PEACEFUL THEN WHY DOES MODI SARKAR HAVE TO SEND EXTRA 9 LAKH SOLDIERS TO THE VALLEY AND IMPOSE THE WORST KIND OF CURFEW…??? IF…. well there are alot of such questions miss writer but jin ka qalam bik chuka ho aur mun lifafon nay band kar rakahy hoon… they obviously cant see or deliberately turns a blind eye to whats written clearly on the wall. The whole godamn world has seen the state of affairs in Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir recently coz of the intense diplomatic efforts of our govt. if there had been corrupt govts in the past who have been sending sarhis and mangoes to India for the sake of their factories and sugar mills in India , instead of talking on serious matters like Kashmir and the water problem.. that DOES NOT mean that we leave our Kashmiri brethren in such delicate and tough time alone… “agar past mai eik ghalatee hum nay theek nae kee tho ess ka matlab ab bhee theek na karain..??”… we live in 21st century miss writer for goodness sake… how one earth can you support the occupation of fascist and racist Indian Army and Indian govt on Kashmir..?? How can you support making the kashmiris to live with someone they dont want to live with…?? in this age and time even a girl cant be forced to marry someone she doesnt want to marry…. how can you support imposing a decision on a population of 7 lakh people against their will…??? are we not living in 21st century or have we gone back to the 16th century for some God forsaken reason…??
    So far our internal problems are concerned… let they be ethnic or religious minorities that you mentioned so eagerly … let me tell you something.. no matter how much we may be divided internally.. be it religiously.. ethnically or poltically…. when it comes to the Kashmir Cause WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.. THE WHOLE PAKISTANI NATION.. AND WE ALWAYS WIlL BE… despite of the fact that there has been and there always will be some GANDAY ANDAY & BLACK SHEEPS like you in our sleeves…. oh and this is coming from A PASHTOON OF KHYBER PAKHTOONKHWA.
    Also if the UNO has failed so badly then whey is the Modi sarkaar soooooo concerned and so much in pressure by international community coz of the meeting of Security Council held just day before yesterday in which they CLEARLY STATED THAT KASHMIR IS NOT AN INTERNAL ISSUE OF INDIA…( thanks to modi jee.. lol..) and they clearly condemned the sate of affairs in the valley coz of the curfew and human rights violation by the occupant army…????
    And so far the response of the Imran Khan goes that you criticize so vehemently.. i think there couldnt have been a better response than this in the face of a fascist racist regime who believes in racial superiority led by AN UNEDUCATED, WAR MONGERING PSYCHO AND A MURDERER and whose mere existence threatens NOT ONLY MUSLIMS but rather each n every minority in India including Christians and Sikhs and even lower cast hindus like dalits and shoodars…!! “NAE AAP KIA CHAHTEE HAIN HUM SEEHDA ATOM BOMB CHALA DETAY…??” .. What other response do you want our govt to have taken..?? Our patient and MATURE response in the face of such provocative & blatant action took by Indian govt showed the whole world how REALLY PEACE LOVING we Pakistanis as a nation are…!! IF you could have the courage to just put the “lifafa” at a side and be honest for a min… tell me something…. IF THE SITUATION WAS REVERSE… AND THIS STEP WAS TAKEN BY PAKSITANI GOVT.. DO YOU REALLY THINK INDIA WOULD HAVE RESPONDED WITH SAME PATIENCE AND MATURITY…?????? I THINK NOT…
    Oh n by the way Just coz you celebrated the Kashmir Day as waking up late.. watching indian movies and hanging out with friends DOESNT MEAN each n every Pakistani celebrated it the same way..!!
    So miss writer … next time before you go around trying you best to be a model desi liberal… trying to be more indian than indian… ( just like our major adnan sami..lol.. ).. and trying to “justify your lifafa” ( be it from PMLN or from Modi sarkar…) … just remember the tearful cry for help of that Kashmiri mother who got nothing for her children to eat coz fo curfew… that was just shown 72 hours ago on national and international channels… AGAR WO BHEE AP KAY ZAMEER KO NAE JAGATA ( WHICH SEEM TO BE IN GEHRI NEEND) then just remember the 18000 girls who have raped by Indian Army uptil now in occupied Kashmir( figures given by Amnesty international and Human rights watch organizations.. google it… ).. just remember the 70,000 nameless graves in IOJ&K who have died either fighting for freedom or taking worst kind of torture in the torture cells built by Indian Army in the valley… Next time before you turn such a blind eye to such GRAVE ATROCITIES AND VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS… and before you put a deaf ear to the LOUD AND CLEAR CRIES FOR HELP FROM KASHMIRI BRTEHREN … just have some SHAME miss writer along with some HUMANITY ( if i may). Thank you.

    • Mr Bilal, read carefully – almost all the “international” media stuff that you are reading are written by Pakistani writers.
      Naturally they are all pro-pakistani ! No one outside Pakistan takes these “articles” seriously

  4. Pak citizens and leaders are living in delusion. Entire Kashmir is integral part of India by virtue of Instrument of Accession and PoK is illegally occupied by Pakistan and there is nothing that can stop India from occupying it as it is part of India. The UN resolutions Pakistan cites is violated by Pak as it did not withdraw from PoK which is first condition of UN resolutions. Pakistan has continued to live in delusion regards Kashmir and is now bankrupt due to policies of it’s rouge and barbarian army which is common knowledge to world at large.

  5. Very well written. Kashmir never belonged to Pakistan. It is worth mentioning that the first defenders of Srinagar against Pakistan attack were volunteers of Sheikh Abdullah. The National Conference used to have Hindu members as well. The struggle of JKLF was for independent united Kashmir.. There never was any basis for Pakistan claiming Kashmir. Surprise your Govt tells such great lies to its people.
    It is also worth pointing out that I have seen Pakistanis introducing themselves as Indians in white-lands. There is no glory in trying to align with aggressors and plunders of your lands just because your ancestors were forced into a different religion.

  6. I am shocked to read that the people of Pakistan have been sold a BS dream for so long and they haven’t wisened-up.

    Pakistan is in economic shambles and their biggest export today is global terrorism – which perhaps points to an intellectually bankrupt society.

    Even if by some miracle if Pakistan manages to get all of Kashmir what would it do to rid that country of all its miseries? How would it make the current and future generation of Pakistan any more intellectually evolved and economically prosperous? Didn’t any of the Pakistani politicians, economists, and educated citizen ask that question from the Pakistani presidents and military?

    Mahathir Mohammed told Pakistan about Malaysia – it is prosperous because it’s not in conflict with any of its neighbors. Mahathir was in fact telling Pakistanis to stop quarreling with its neighbors and everyone globally and instead focus on their own intellectual and economic growth.

    Pakistan should instead focus all its energy and resources on uplifting its current citizens through real education and try instead to rival India in intellectual growth and true sustained economic prosperity

  7. Stop comparing your self to India.
    The question you Pakistanis need to ask your LOOSER GENERALS is why is Bangladesh ahead of Pakistan in all barometers… Foreign exchange …GDP …Literacy….Why ??

  8. I am shocked to read that the people of Pakistan have been sold a BS dream for so long and they haven’t wisened up.

    Pakistan is in economic shambles and the biggest export of that country’s today is global terrorism. Goes to point towards perhaps an intellectually bankrupt society.

    Even if by some miracle if Pakistan manages to get all of Kashmir what would it do to rid that coy try of all its ire ailing miseries? How would it make the current and future generation of that country any more intellectually evolved and economically prosperous ? Didn’t any of the Pakistani politicians, economists and educated citizen ask that question?

    Perhaps they should learn from what Mahathir Mohammed told them about Malaysia – it’s prosperous because it’s not conflict with any of its neighbors. Mahathir was telling Pakistanis to stop quarreling and instead focus on their own intellectual and economic growth.

    Perhaps Pakistan should instead focus all its energy and resources on uplifting its citizens through education and try instead to rival India in intellectual growth and economic prosperity.

  9. I request the learned writer don’t incite much the poor Imran Khan as I fear he will airlift all the left over jihadis and will drop them upon the Kashmir.

  10. It’s so cute to see all these Pakistanis calling out the writer. It must really suck to be a Pakistani, especially right now. Get over yourselves and concentrate on POK otherwise that will be taken away too.
    And all these fuckers that are talking about what Indian army is going in kashmir, y’all might want to do a little research and see who’s actually been torturing whom. Blindly believing what your fuckall media is showing you. Too bad cause all you can do now is watch and cry, Kashmir was never Pakistan and it will never be. Look at the situation of people in POK. Ask them if they want to be there.
    Do proper research before yapping your mouths here.
    Finally got to see one Pakistani with a brain.
    Sucks to be Pakistani, my condolences to y’all.

  11. As if only thing matters in this world are Muslims….rest of the folks in J&K doesn’t. You can whine, make hue and cry, suck your whatever….it’s done…decision taken to improve the lives of all those in JK incl Muslims. Pakistan can go f@£k itself.

  12. Kashmir will never be part of Pakistan. Their dream will remain a dream.
    I wonder, if the rulers of Pakistan would have worked towards making every part of Pakistan as beautiful and peaceful once Kashmir they would have achieved a wonderful result. Instead they spread hatred, violence and deaths. Those beasts always thought of adding Kashmir into Pakistan and many of them died with their unfulfilling dream. Pakistanis should learn to live and to let live. Their rulers should concentrate on development of the nation and understanding the feelings of their common people. Pakistanis should join their hands together and work towards making their own surrounding like Kashmir and live happily.

  13. Absolute rubbish article. Anyone can tell you are working on someone else’s agenda. Your article misses such important points. Kashmiris are very much like Pakistanis. Their culture their religion and food. They choose Pakistan as their identity. People like you who do not see the atrocities and persecution indian army is causing on innocent Kashmiris. I doubt that you are too dumb to know better so I have no other option but to believe that you are a fake soldout pathetic human being who is so selfish and shallow. How do you live with yourself is what I will never understand. But rest assure, this is the beginning of demise of India. It has dropped the axe on its own foot. Hope your conscience wakes up and if not then the ‘hai’ of every mother who has lost her son or relative in Kashmir will not let you find peace in your life. You are worst than the pellets fired upon the innocent kashmiris. In the end …… Kashmir banega Pakistan…. Wait and watch …

    • Excuse me mr. hotshot, there are more Muslims living in India than there are in Pakistan so what culture are you talking about. You might want to educate yourself before yapping your mouth. One Pakistani has spoken the truth so why don’t you accept it. Anyway, it’s your loss in either case, accept it or not.
      Besides, how do you know what is happening in kashmir. Were you there? Do you live there? Obviously you’re one of the brainwashed blind eyed idiots who’s going to believe your fuckall media. Guess what? Your comments don’t matter. But i would tell you to educate yourself first before typing shit and making a fool of yourself in front of the world.
      Sucks to be you.

    • I think you’re the one who’s dumb with no brain. Do you even watch the news? Nobody is supporting pakistan, not even America, whom your pm just begged and returned. Open your eyes. Kashmir was never pakistan and will never be. Keep crying like this.
      Also, before you speak about what is happening in kashmir, you might want to educate yourself on the topic since y’all are clearly brainwashed by your idiotic media. If you aren’t kashmiri, you have no right to speak on what’s going on there.
      Continue crying and watch India snatch kashmir from your incompetent govt. Idiots.

    • I am a hundu Kasmeri and my father’s lands were forcefully taken and we were forced out of KASHMERE. With no help from the Indian government. God bless Modi for abolishing article 370, now maybe the government can help reclaim our property where thieving Muslims reside

  14. A woman who doesnt even have the knowledge of kashmir’s status of being a disputed region has written this article. Its not only the statement of Pakistani people but also of Kashmiri ppl like me that: KASHMIR BANEY GA PAKISTAN.

    • Majority of the Kashmiri people support India. I know it better than you people because I have lived in Srinagar for about 2 years. You are clearly a bot from Porkistan.

  15. We growing up in Pakistan were NEVER told that Kashmir was in India. My parents, print media and even google maps have always shown it as a disputed region. This writer’s article clearly shows her shameless bias and have completely ignored the killing of Burhan Wani and many others who want freedom from India and want to end rape and torture of Indian armed forces. I am surprised how this article which is based on someone’s personal opinion is given such importance.

    • Nothing to brag about if you weren’t told the truth. Kashmir was always a part of India and will s always be. Go and educate yourself about it’s history and don’t blindly believe your media and government.
      And how the fuck do you know what’s happening in kashmir. Are you kashmiri? Were you there? No right. So before you go yapping shit about Indian army, do a fucking research. Then it’s your choice if you want to continue making fun of yourself on social media.
      Pakistanis seriously need education.

  16. This writer may write even a longer article on the death of a dog sympathizing on its death but clearly has no sympathy on the rape of more than 10,000 Kashmiri women and brutal torture and killings of over a million kashmiris in general by the hands of Indian armed forces.What a shame!! And such people are allowed to call themselves human beings? Pathetic!

    • A Lie being told a thousand times couldn’t become a TRUTH… Nothing more to say just an opinion for people like you….Discover truth, find Righteousness, go through Internet, books, articles or whatever takes to find the real truth of How the Indian army playing an important role in safeguarding the rights of Kashmiris and protecting them from militants………

      • No surprise there. These Pakistanis educated in Madarsas are not capable of honest and intellectual analysis. That’s what they are taught by the propaganda machinery .

  17. Funny how the article mentions ‘brainwashing’. But at the same time, the editor claims the author is ‘from Pakistan’. This is incorrect. The author is Indian. You don’t need to see further than her twitter handle.

  18. It must be said that just as Kashmir banega Pakistan was fed to the public there, we in India also a have strong memory of how Pak tried to capture J&K from us and how India snatched back most of it except the POK. However, Indian reactions have been of injustice, back stabbing by Pak, and we always wished to take back POK by talks or by peaceful means. Even the RSS dream of Akhanda Bharat was never espoused as a violent cause but a wrong done to be righted in future. This is the stark contrast in Pak and Indian attitudes and hence, Pak has just one national cause- to get back Kashmir from India by force or any other means whereas for India, it was a matter of dialogue and correcting the wrong. By the way, Naila must be one of the few pakis who talk sense and it may be a good idea to exchange a set of people like her from Pak with our lot of secular left liberals intellectuals, media professionals etc. whose heart beats for Kashmir !!

  19. > The new measures from New Delhi signal towards etching the Line of Control into a permanent international boundary

    This has been vehemently denied by Amit Shah in the parliament. How seriously did he mean it, only he knows.

    But yes, it has been India’s policy till very recently is to not fight further on it, and take LoC as the border. Its always Pakistan that has been unhappy with it and tried to move the LoC. Given the attitude of the current Indian govt, Pakistan would be lucky to secure LoC as the border. The next incursion by Pakistan might well see PoK merged back in J&K by India.

  20. I believe removal of Article 370 paves the way for development of Kashmir.
    What Kashmiri needs is health care, jobs, and education.
    Tourism should get better.
    I believe both Pakistan and India should try to develop their portion of Kashmir.
    It will also ensure development of both the nations.
    Let’s compete in developing Kashmir.

    • It paved the way for genocide of kashmiris. You will never be able to subjgate kashmiris by force. A rubbish article by a sold journalist.!

      • I agree with you.
        Its bcuz of the genocide only that the population of Muslims in India increased from 5% in 1947 to 14% in 2019.
        Its bcuz of genocide of Muslims that the Hindu population in Kashmir valley decreased from around a million in 1990 to practically NIL in 2019.
        Its bcuz of genocide, the population of Christians in Nagaland increased from Zero in the beginning of 20th century to 96% now.
        Its bcuz of muslim genocide that the population of Muslim in one-third of the Lok sabha seats in UP has increased to more than 35% now.
        BTW, what did you smoke today? Get a Life, Mr. Liar.

    • How much money did you Get from Indian government to write this article? Shame on you Naila. Just go and meet one of the families from Indian occupied Kashmir ,consider yourself lucky that you were not raped or molested by the Indian army, consider yourself lucky that you have not lost a family member because of the brutality of Indian army. Consider yourself lucky because you were born in Pakistan

  21. Naila inayat you are not a muslim if you dont feel the pain which now Kashmiris are feeling just due to brutal act of un professional stupid genocide loving indian army . They are doing so to make public attention divert from economic crisis in india.

    • China-Uighur Muslims??? Any pain felt or because China is mad-baap, toh usko sab maaf?? OR is it that your ISI is thinking that it will first FIX India and then take care of China!!

  22. The reason Kashmir is not part of Pakistan yet is people like Naila Inayat. If we have traitors like Nawaz Sharif, Asif Ali Zardari and Naila Inayat in our country. How can we think about Kashmir? Our first problem is not India but these traitors.. We have to clean Pakistan from those first then look forward og give proper response with full force to India.. Kashmir issue is not finished here (Those who think it is). Kashmiri people just do not want to live with India. Nobody can force them to do that either. Indians are celebrating this as victory now but by time you guys will realise what a big mistake Modi did. Mark my words and see what happens to India in the future……

    • Kashmiri want to live with whom?? Who supply them guns to fight? Instead improving their condition!!! Wahabism is barbaric and non inclusive. Muslims will grow in India and live peacefully under democratic rule. Name any Hindu president of pakistan? Muslims whereever are in majority doesn’t mean they should create islamic State. Kashmir is democratic and democracy has to be installed in PoK and Gilgit Baloochistan. Fight is against democracy versus Wahabism and Islamic State. Long live democracy.

    • Dude your government is a traitor. They don’t care for your welfare. Do you even know about anything? If a person is saying the truth you’re calling her a traitor? Go back and read her article again and if you have any brains, you’ll understand what the right thing is. Don’t matter in the internal affairs of India and get a life.
      Sucks to be you.
