Islamabad, April 20 (IANS) Former Pakistan-administrated Kashmir prime minister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry Thursday launched here a new party - Peoples Muslim League - seeking 'Kashmir's accession to Pakistan'.

The party will support Pakistan-administered Kashmir's accession to Pakistan, Chaudhry told reporters.


The Peoples Muslim League will have its central secretariat in Islamabad and will actively participate in the forthcoming elections.


Chaudhry said he would name the central body members April 24 while district-level functionaries would be announced later.


He asserted that the launching of the new party would end the two-party system in Pakistani Kashmir and provide alternative leadership to the people.


Chaudhry had to quit the Pakistani Kashmir chapter of Benazir Bhutto's Pakistan Peoples Party following violations of party discipline.

Meeeh, I don't support it.

I think its in Pakistan's best interest to let Azad Kashmir go free. Of course only in conjunction with the independence of J&K.

Jay

So Asim, does it mean that there is a caveat, that Pakistan will only give Azadi to Kashmir only when you get Jammu & Kashmir back?

Errr Kashmir is not ours or India's to give and take back n forth.

What I support is that India and Pakistan simultaneously relent control off of the entire Kashmir. There need not be any giving or taking. Meanwhile Pak & India plan this historic move, A Kashmiri government could be brought in place by a neutral party like the UN or anyone that Pak, Ind & the Kashmiris agree to.

A nice, non-greedy proposal, Jay?

Jay

You are still not getting the point. Pakistan says it struggles for Kashmiri independence and right for self dutermination, shouldnt they make a model out of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir by allowing free and fair elections?

Why do you tie India and Jammu and Kashmir here? Its a pretty neat trick, you know that India is not going to let go J&K, and by this plan you can hold on to PoK for ever, which means Kashmiri freedom and self determination is just a smoke screen.

Asim Aquil

Errrr IF Pak army pulls out without getting the Indian army off the LoC, they'd just invade.

Plus the majority of the Pak Kashmiris won't have it.

Jay

You could still have your military in LoC and allow free and fair elections in PoK unless your military controls/want to control PoK all by itself.

Asim Aquil

Exaaaaaaaactly. No one would believe that they're free and fair as long as Pak presence is there! Just as no one believes about Indian elections.

Jay

Err, a lot of neutral observers have endorsed the elections, so did 45% of people who voted.

Sir,
its like saying ugh, uhm or hmm

The new party should be interesting.

Persoanlly i think our interests lie with Pakistan, it's a strong muslim state and can protect us from aggressors, afterall it's the right of every muslim in the subcontinent, why deny it to us Kashmiri's.

Ray

Great.

So, you are suggesting all Indian Moslems should make a beeline to Paksitan.

BTW, Platinum, do you know what they think of Mirpuris in Kashmir?

The Mangla dam feeds Punjab while Mirpur's fertile land lies below the waters!

However genuine these feelings of Kashmiri nationalism may be, they must also be put in context. In the first place they are reinforced by some yet more parochial considerations, not least because the present administration in distant Muzaffarabad – which can be reached much more quickly by way of
Islamabad and Murree than along the long winding road through the hills – is not only controlled by non-Mirpuris, but by people who ultimately favour Kashmir's incorporation into Pakistan. So it was that when Sardar Qayyum, an integrationist Poonchi Sudhan who was subsequently to become Chief
Minister of Azad Kashmir, sought to speak at an election rally in Dadial in 1985, he faced hostile demonstrations. Only when protected by a substantial military presence could be escorted safely out of town. Such tensions remain to this day.

what do kashmiri's think of mirupri's probably the same player hate the punjabi's have.

hate teh game folks not the players.

Jay

So why did the subcontinenet Bengali muslims decided that Pakistan is not game for them?
