Disgusted with the hypocritical rhetoric of Pakistani politicians with regards to the events in Pahalgham: Pakistani state has no legs to stand on when it comes to oppressing its own people. The height of absurdity has to be with members of Parliament sword rattling in English. (Modi also delivered an address in English interestingly). A few points:
- Kashmir is an occupied territory with more than half a million troops, how did this heinous attack occur?- Indian citizens should demand how this terrible attack took place in presence of more than half a million troops
- The picking off victims by religion happens in Pakistan too, passengers of buses are first identified and marked and then slaughtered by armed groups
- Citizens of Pakistan should also demand how armed attacks take place despite having a well funded and organised security state
- Timing is interesting : Vice President of US visiting India and , Modi visiting Saudi
- Modi has been saying things are normal in Kashmir when they are clearly not, regardless of who is supporting this insurgency as per the claims
- Pakistan says the same when it comes to insurgency in Balochistan, India is supporting it, invalidating and erasing occupation, oppression
- Kashmir has always been ruled by outsiders and not by the indigenous peoples themselves for past couple hundred years
- Suspending Indus War Treaty is a terrible act of aggression and, shows how badly we got divided under colonialism that we throttle life lines of the people
- Neither India or Pakistan give a damn about Kashmiris
- It's a constant simmering tension and, is fuelling more anti Muslim frenzy in India and anti Hindu frenzy in Pakistan
- It's extremely disheartening and depressing that we have gone to war-like threats, closure of border and kicking out peoples
- Citizens of both countries should demand for peace, diplomacy, solutions and normalisation
Depressing that we can't have normal relations with our own neighbours. I don't want to visit Europe or US or Australia or Canada more easily than our own neighbours. I want to be able to freely visit India! The horrific events in Pahalgham are another backward turn and, we remain frozen in a war like stance.
