    Elections not free, fair: Shabir

    SRINAGAR, Apr 28 (SANA): President of Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) Shabir Ahmad Shah has ridiculed the government claim that by-elections were held in a free and fair atmosphere.

    During an interaction with a Swedish delegation at his residence, Shah alleged that the separatists were not allowed to run the anti-election campaign.

    "We were not allowed to go into the areas to run our campaign effectively. I was placed under house arrest for four consecutive days", he said.

    The DFP president asked as to why the government was not going for plebiscite if it was satisfied that people voted freely in the by-polls. He alleged that as the election process began, security forces had threatened the people of dire consequences if they did not vote. Shah stated that government of India has not taken any meaningful or result oriented step for the solution of Kashmir issue.

    He viewed that even the Indo-Pak confidence building measures have not made any headway as far as Kashmir is concerned.

    "The two countries are moving fast on confidence building front. But there is no effect on the ground situation in Kashmir", the DFP president said.

    Instead of reducing the number of security forces, more troops are being brought here. Earlier the forces would occupy land and buildings. But now the land is being allotted to them formally so that they can set up cantonments on permanent basis, he observed.

    Shah alleged that human rights violations are increasing with every passing day. Innocents are being killed and arrested day in and day out.

    The DFP president said the need of the hour is to stop the human rights abuses and initiate tripartite talks for the solution of Kashmir issue.

    You see Asim, our Kashmir is a free and functioning democracy. And political group that doesn't take to guns are free to voice whatever opinions they want to (unlike in Pakistan Kashmir).

    This group claims that the Kashmir elections were not free because they couldn't disrupt the elections....

    The fact is many observers labled the elections free and fair.. and 40% of Kashmir came out to vote braving bullets from Pakistani based terrorists

        I wonder why India has to repeat that over n over while other 1st world nations don't. :D

        Little kids were voting in the elections. Some were voting a coupla times.

        It wasn't fair. It wasn't free.

              It is the obligation of every Indian to ensure that the political freedom of the people of Jammu & Kashmir is not compromised by the likes of Shabir Ahmed Shah.

              After all, Indian Kashmiri’s enjoy greater freedom than Pakistani’s, leave alone the unfortunate souls of Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir.

              As for the Pakistani votaries mimicking the likes of Shabir Ahmed Shah, first let them rectify the above situation.

              There is a window of opportunity for a first step in that direction currently.

              Let them permit this entirely democratic demand of the JKLF to contest elections in Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir on an independence manifesto and not take an oath that they support Kashmir’s accession to Pakistan as is mandatory.

              That’s the least one can expect from Pakistanis harping on a plebiscite which they themselves sabotaged while the UN Secretary General is rather lukewarm to do anything unilateral about it :

              JKLF to contest AJK polls on independence manifesto

                Asim,

                You should send the thread starting article to Freedom House.

                They might ;) be persuaded to improve Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmirs freedom rating to the level of Pakistan.

                From there to the level of Kashmir should be an easier mountain to climb ;) .

                Who knows thereafter one may reach India's freedom level.

                I look forward to next years freedom rating after your input .

                              At least we have good directors for fine cinematography!

                              Your stage-offs are f***in' pathetic.

                              Oops, or are they real actually!
