FIR & Chronology of Attacks on Syed Ali Shah Geelani

FIR & Chronology of Attacks on Syed Ali Shah Geelani

To

The Station House Officer,
Police Station Sopore.

Subject: Registration of an FIR.

In a peaceful rally of Syed Ali Geelani in Iqbal Market Sopore on 11-11-2011 a suspicious person was caught hold by the people. By the Intervention of Syed Geelani he was handed over to the police with a hope that matter will be probed into thoroughly. Instead of probing the matter, the SP Sopore as per news report of Greater Kashmir dated 12-11-2011 had stated that the gunman belonged to army intelligence wing and he had gone to rally to record Geelani’s Speech and that he has been admitted in a hospital.

Today i.e. on 13th of November 2011 the daily Greater Kashmir has reported that as per army Naik Kamlesh Kumar Mishra was a member of a covert team of Army and State Police and had been sent to Sopore to gather information of the presence of terrorists in the public rally. The news paper has however further reported that as per police they were not a part of any joint intelligence operation at Sopore during Geelani’s rally and that intelligence operations are not carried out by the police jointly with the army.

From the aforesaid sequence of events it’s fully established that Naik Kumlesh Kumar Mishra and army personnel had gone to Mr. Geelani’s rally on 11-11-2011 with a pistol and he was not part of any covert operation. He had been perhaps sent by some agency to target Mr. Geelani, but for the timely intervention of the people he couldn’t succeed in his nefarious design. He has been a part of some deep rooted conspiracy hatched by the army intelligence to eliminate Mr. Geelani and it is with that objective that he had come all the way from Srinagar or from elsewhere to attend the rally. The claim of Army that he was a part of a covert team of army and police having been rejected by the police the matter appears to be very grave and serious.
You are accordingly requested to register an FIR in the matter so that the conspiracy hatched to eliminate Mr. Syed Ali Geelani is unearthed and the conspirators as well as the perpetrators of crime are brought to book.
Yours Faithfully

YOUTH NABBED WITH PISTOL

An unidentified youth allegedly carrying a pistol was beaten to pulp by people on the suspicion of being personnel of some government agency during Syed Ali Shah Geelani’s rally in Sopore on Friday.
Soon after Geelani concluded his speech, an unidentified youth was caught by the people and severely thrashed.

The spokesperson of Tehreek-i-Hurriyat, Ayaz Akbar, said the youth was from some government agency and a pistol was also found in his possession. He said it was only after Geelani’s intervention that the youth was set free. He condemned the presence of an armed personal during public gathering that too with a weapon.

“The person could have made attempt on the life of Geelani sahib or intended to disrupt the public gathering,” Ayaz Akbar said.

Army confirms soldier’s presence in Geelani rally

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Srinagar, Nov 12: The Army has said the man who was beaten up by mob on suspicion that he had made an assassination bid on Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani during a rally here was actually a member of its "covert team".

"An army man was beaten up by mob due to mistaken identity (in the public rally addressed by Geelani yesterday). His service pistol, identity card and mobile were snatched by them," a defence spokesman said here in a statement.

A "covert team" of army and state police was sent to Sopore, 55 kms from here, to gather information on the presence of "terrorists" in the public rally, he said.
Hurriyat (G) had yesterday claimed an assassination attempt was made on Geelani by a man carrying a pistol who was nabbed by people at the rally.
"The man was nabbed when he was asked to show his identity card at the rally...Why would a man come to a rally with a pistol. It could possibly have been an attempt to target Geelani," Hurriyat spokesman Ayaz Akbar had said.

The defence spokesperson said, "The man, seriously injured, was rescued by his colleagues, and admitted to the army hospital...A case has been lodged by the army against the miscreants."

GKNN ADDS: Meanwhile, police claimed that they were not part of any joint intelligence operation in Sopore town during Geelani’s rally to nab militants.

Highly placed sources in Jammu and Kashmir Police said that intelligence operations are not carried out jointly.

They said an FIR lodged by army in Sopore police station doesn’t mention the role of police anywhere.

Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani rebutted the Army claim, saying the MI personnel was released by youth on his intervention.
“These are concocted and baseless claims. They first claimed that the MI personnel was present in the rally for gathering reports and now they say he was there to nab a militant. This shows how much truth is in their claims,” he said.

He said after the Friday prayers his rally passed off peacefully as he had changed the venue to avoid clashes of youth with CRPF men at Main Chowk.
“When I was leaving the rally venue, some youth told me that they had caught an Army personnel. I asked them to release him and they promptly acted upon my advice,” Geelani added.

village after addressing a rally at Magam Handwara Kupwara.
This is the brief chronology up to 30th June 2000. If this could
happen with a prominent leader of Jammu and Kashmir one can imagine
the plight of masses over there.

We appeal to the world community to take note of the situation and
attacks on the life and property of the civil and political activists.

Unmarked Graves Give Up Their Shameful Secrets

By: Ben Doherty

Every village has stories of men and boys taken from their homes and never seen again, writes Ben Doherty in northern Kashmir.

The police bring the bodies. In the day or night they bring them, wrapped loosely in blankets or in the clothes they wore. ''The bodies come in very bad condition,'' Nizar Ahmed Mir tells the Herald through an interpreter, standing on the steep slopes of the Shaheed cemetery at the end of a narrow dirt road. ''They are bloody, some are in handcuffs, the clothing is torn. Most have been shot in the face, or the face has been damaged, so they cannot be identified. We don't know who they are, we are just told to bury them.''

Nizar lives in the town of Kupwara, in northern Kashmir, on the edge of one of the most restive regions of the valley.

He farms for a living, but besides that, is one of the men the police come to with bodies. He is one of Kashmir's reluctant, but compelled, gravediggers.

Many of the bodies are incomplete, Nizar says, missing hands or limbs. Sometimes police just bring a head, handing it over with the same instruction: ''Bury this''. The dead are all men.

The police didn't kill them. The army did. The police are the intermediaries and they have as little information as they pass on.

''The police bring the bodies, they say: 'The army gave them to us, they are militants killed in gunfight'. But we don't know who they are. There are no documents and the police don't want questions.

''We cannot argue with the police; we do not ask who they were, or how they died. We just bury them, like we are told.''

It is true that some of the bodies are those of militant soldiers, killed resisting the Indian military and police presence around the disputed line of control between the Indian- and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.

But every village in Kashmir carries stories of night-time invasions of homes by heavily armed soldiers, of men and boys taken away, never to be seen again, of people shot in the street and their deaths restaged to appear as though they occurred in battle. These are Kashmir's so-called ''fake encounters''.

Civil rights groups such as Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons estimate there are about 8000 men missing in Kashmir, disappeared over two decades of conflict. It appears now they might finally be found.

The bodies being uncovered in these graves are, almost certainly, those men. And for the first time, an Indian state government has admitted - albeit unwittingly and unwillingly - to Kashmir's worst-kept secret.

A leaked report by the State Human Rights Commission in Indian-controlled Kashmir has conceded ''it is beyond doubt that unmarked graves containing unidentified bodies do exist … in North Kashmir. There is every probability that these … graves … contain the bodies of enforced disappearances.''

The report said 2730 unidentified bodies had been found in Kashmiri soil and, through cursory efforts at identification, found that 574 of them were not foreign militants as claimed, but local men, killed and buried in secret. It has called for DNA testing of all of the unidentified bodies and said of government resistance to formal identification ''it has to be presumed the state wants to remain silent deliberately to hide the human rights violations''.

Built on a steep slope of land unusable for anything else, the Shaheed, the Urdu word for martyr, graveyard in Kupwara has only five graves that are marked with headstones. About a dozen more have small stone cairns pushed into the ground, some daubed with a painted number.

The number correlates only to the order a person was known to be buried.

While it appears there are about 20 bodies in the ground here, Nizar said there are more than 200 people buried in this narrow, steep wedge of land.

Some of the unmarked graves are apparent only because they have collapsed, leaving gaping holes. Of the others, there is no sign, and no record.

The Shaheed cemetery was full in less than three years, and bodies brought to Kupwara now are taken elsewhere.

About a kilometre away is Rigipura graveyard. It is also on a disused hillside, its graves packed in tight rows, a couple with names, more with numbers, but most completely unmarked save for the tell-tale disturbance of the earth.

Near a grove of walnut trees, the Herald is approached by a bricklayer who gives his name as Ghulam. He says that he, too, has been forced to bury bodies by police. ''Here,'' he walks to a bare patch of earth near the fence and points down.

''Here I had to bury a head. Two months before. No body. Just a head. I did not know who it was.''

He says all the bodies he has been made to bury have had their faces disfigured. None have been identifiable.

''Yes, I believe they are forced disappearances, the fake encounters.''

Publicly, at least, the government of Jammu and Kashmir is maintaining the bodies are those of militants killed in combat against the Indian military or as they tried to illegally cross the Line of Control into Pakistan to receive arms training.

The chief of army in Jammu and Kashmir, Lieutenant General Syed Ata Hasnain, declined an interview with the Herald, but the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, told the state assembly his government would investigate all the unmarked graves and has proposed a truth and reconciliation commission ''for the people of the state''.

But he warned that investigations would take time, and that the conflict in Kashmir was not black and white.

''We are not here to hide the facts or conceal the truth … but our endeavour is to dig out the facts and bring these before the public. This cannot be done overnight but we have to make a start in this direction.''

Mr Abdullah said it was unfair to blame security forces for all of the deaths in Kashmir.

''I can say with authority that some of the persons buried in these unmarked graves were killed by the militants,'' he said.

Mr Abdullah denied there were any mass graves in Kashmir. But his government's own human rights watchdog disagrees, and is damning of security forces.

The human rights commission accuses the police of falsifying claims about how people died, and says it found mass graves in the valley.

The commission's report also says there are almost certainly more secret gravesites in the valley.

Since 1988, the violence in Kashmir has claimed more than 43,000 lives.

Jana Begum knows the cost of those lost lives. Five of them belonged to her family.

In half a decade, she lost her husband and four sons to Kashmir's violence. Two of her sons were picked up by police in Kupwara. Eighteen days later she was told her sons were buried in the Rigipura cemetery.

Her husband was seized by authorities in a midnight raid and taken into custody. Six months later he emerged, so badly beaten he survived only one day at home.

''He was so unwell, he was unable to eat anything. We were feeding him milk in a spoon, but we could not stop him from dying. He died because of the interrogation,'' she said.

Another son was shot through an open window in the family home, while another simply vanished while he was studying at an Islamic school in Deoband. His body has never been found.

Jana Begum sits in the bare front room of her house.

Speaking barely above a whisper, she points out the bullet holes in the window frames. The same bullets, she says, took her son.

She holds a picture of the family she lost, and says she believes her family was targeted because her husband was an imam and her sons went to religious schools to study the Koran.

''The militants came to our house and demanded that my family join them, but they refused,'' she said. ''But people see the militants enter our home and they think we are working for them. We did not. We were never part of that. Not ever.''

The loss of the men in her family has left her destitute.

''During festivals like Eid, I go to Srinagar, to beg for money from people. I have no other way, no choice. My whole family is destroyed by these terrible incidents.''

Jana Begum has no interest in peace in the valley. She doesn't believe it will come, and she no longer cares.

''The people who did this, they took my sons and my husband,'' she said.

''I have no interest in anything they do now. They cannot give me my family back.''

Army Made 18 Assassination Bids On My Life, Claims Geelani

Alleging that the Army has made "18 assassination bids” on his life since 1996, Chairman Hurriyat Conference (G), Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Monday said the Army man caught with a pistol at his rally in Sopore last Friday had been sent to "murder him or cause a stampede by firing".

Addressing a press conference at his Hyderpora residence, Geelani said that his party has lodged a complaint with the Sopore police for FIR against the army.

“There could have been only two motives for the Army to send its armed man in civvies to our peaceful rally: either it wanted to eliminate me or cause a stampede hoping that it would prove fatal for me or the common people present there. Later, the police would have blamed the militants for the attack,” Geelani said.

Geelani said the Sopore incident was the 18th attempt on his life by army , beginning with a rocket attack on his Hyderpora residence in 1996. “After the rocket attack, an army officer called one of our neighbours and asked if I had died in the attack,” Geelani said.

“He used the words ‘Kya Kute ki Dukan Band Hogayi (Has the dog been finished?)” Geelani alleged.

Geelani said the ID card recovered from the man caught by people at his rally identified him as Naik Kamlesh Kumar Mishra.

“I told the people to hand him over to the police but instead of registering an FIR against him, the police has registered a case against dozen innocent youth from Sopore who were present at the peaceful rally,” Geelani said.

Geelani said he was aware of the presence of “agencies” at his rallies or gatherings but the Sopore incident was “a deep-rooted conspiracy to eliminate him.”

“We know there are people from different Indian agencies and police at our rallies, but I am never bothered about it because my stand on end to Indian occupation is unambiguous and known to all. However, the Sopore incident was a well-planned conspiracy to eliminate me,” he said.

He said the matter should be probed to “unveil inhumane and shameful attitude of Indian army in Kashmir."

Geelani alleged that the army wanted to repeat “another January 6, 1993 when 40 people were burnt alive and 200 houses and shops gutted by the forces after a youth snatched the gun of one of their personnel.”

“The army has developed a lust for power in Kashmir and is acting as the government here, with both the civil administration and police being under its thumb,” Geelani said, adding that Kashmir “has become a killing field for the army.”

Geelani said the army was trying to make inroads into educational institutes as well and "brave students must resist this intrusion.”

"I appeal students to be brave and tell these army officers and generals on their face that they have no right to be deliver lectures in our schools and colleges after killing, disappearing thousands of Kashmiris, burning houses and unleashing worst human rights violations on us,” he said.

In response to a query on the statement of former cricketer and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief, Imran Khan’s statement that Pakistan should put Kashmir issue on the “back burner”, Geelani said the country should stand firm on its “principled stand on Kashmir.”

Oh Yee Oppressors! Set Us Free

By: R’ Cayed

Oh Those red stones carryin’ our rage,

Facin’ the tyrants and facing their bullet

,Writin’ a history of oppressionon agory page

,Of oppressorswho left no peaceful fullet,

I salute them martyrs, who embarked the truth,

Those people who took a bullet without fear,

GO OPPRESSORS GO BACK... LEAVE OUR KASHMIR

The soil should be proud to dissolve such a valiant youth,Remembering them all, I roll down a tear,

When those stones rush out in ramp for vengeance,

Streets witness all the truths but never speak,“Allah-u-Akbar” in every sentence,

And their guns never really could turn us weak,

Till my last breath, I should live formyself,

Never care for what the fool wants me to do,

Because my vale bleeds and screams for help,

And tomorrow God will ask me “What did you do?”.

This soil which drinks blood in a deep regret,

Proclaims that autocrat can never be a king,

For all those who sacrificedtheir lives,

I’ll never forget,And my own sobs and moans,

I’m listening,This land of Nund Reshi can never be coward,

Ruled by the purchasable autocratic puppets and weeping,

Our stones and pen is our undefeatable sword,

The curse is that, our conscienceisyet sleeping

,Among the people of honour and pride,

This vale today bleeds like an unstitchedcut,

And these horrific cuts get deeper every night,

We put that blood on the stones but-The bloodiest stones are yet not thrown,

Everyday our resentmentgets worse and worse,

But the first bleeding river has already flown,

Flowing over the lands of saints, isn’t it a curse?

Wasn’t yesterday enough for them to slay,

That today another mother wails inthe street,

Whose world howls when remembers her son’s hide and seek play,

Today in that play, he had death tomeet.

Those stones won’t stop,

Till this atrocity and deceit comes to an end,

Let the blood dry drop by drop,

Stop killing innocents and then innocently you pretend,

Today it’s a stone, tomorrow it might be an axe

,Today we fight for justice tomorrow you might,

But by then you’d have paid a high price as an “entertainment tax”,

We Kashmiris take birth watching homicide and genocide,

Leave this land, leave this vale,

You feed your evilness at a disturbed place,

Quit Kashmir and set us free,

And we the Kashmiris shall always be remembered

by thee.

Sincerity Vs Bias / 'Pakistan-Kashmir' Comparison

By a Facebook Page : Kashmir Goes Global- Rises Up for Khilafah

In all of the arguments and their refutations among the people of different factions in Kashmir, regarding the political discourse, some ostensible arguments of those who argue against the 'general concept' remain unanswered in broad terms. The cause of the idea which is contrary to what is generally accepted by people at large can only be discerned whilst studying the nature and base of the dichotomy and the authenticity of the blaims blamed by the blaimers against the 'general concept'. Hence, we will -insha'Allah- dive into the dim, disparagely, to put some light on what is being exaggeratingly associated with us and the bias of the blamers who indulge in deviating the masses to add more people into their illicit and heretic camp.

{Just for those who may vary in the opinion as to what is the 'general concept' ragarding the political solution of Kashmir, i convey to them that it is Kashmir's Merger with Pakistan based on Islamic brotherhood; and the blamers who criticise this idea are our so called "Roshan-Khaya

l" (seculars) people and those who are newly formed, seemingly (as it seems to me), a wall between seculars and common ideological people.}

Lets proceed:

1. They say: "That Pakistan is an occupier of Azad Kashmir and they only want Kashmir's land and resources, Pakistanis dont care about people of Kashmir but just its water."

Well lets say that the part of Kashmir which is administrated by Pakistan is actually occupied by Pakistan, but it rapidly takes us back to the history of the conflict where we find that these were Kabayli Mujahideen of Pakistan who after hearing the Jammu mass massacre of 700,000 Muslimeen at hands of patiala (indian) army and maharaja's army in a joint operation to clean jammu of its vast Muslim population (whose stories of sufferings of muslims if you hear even now, you would pity on yourself from sitting back and not taking revenge), they landed with their ammunition on the border of Kashmir, entered the areas of Kashmir and engaged in Jihad and drove hindu army back from the territory which is today's Azad Kashmir. It was with the help of Allah that they conquered or liberated Azad Kashmir but unfortunately were unable to advance to occupied Kashmir. The lies which have been ascribed to these pious Mujahideen of Pakistan and the way these seculars believe upon them shows the corruption in their Emaan. If only, these Mujahideen had fought hindu forces in Azad Kashmir for the sake of worldly benifits, then we should atleast be able to see some of the Kabayli descendents living in Azad Kashmir in these times or there must be any sign which elucidates Kabayli occupation of Azad Kashmir, the reality is that - they fought, won and left the place to its inhabitants. So where do you see these Soldiers of Allah committing any transgrssion against their Muslim brethern? If you argue on this, then we surely ask you for the authentic proof to defend your claim. How poor you are, O seculars ! how has shaitaan consumed you and has seized your head and has with held you from recognising the truth and rejecting the falsehood.

If Allah has created everything according to His wisdom and Will, then how come you blame Pakistan for having policy against Kashmir's limited resources. It is natural and logical that whatever suffices people for survival, they care for that and try to maintain that. Moreover, it is a phenomenon carved out by Allah that all the rivers of Kashmir should flow towards Pakistan, why do you disapprove Allah's design? or why are you jealous from it.? If we claim that Pakistan only fights for Kashmir because of water, it is tantamount to the thing that Pakistani people would claim that Kashmiri's only want to merge with Pakistan because of rice. Have you not heard anything about 'interdependence', this is not a distant country coming to loot you so your claim would be considered genuine, Pakistan is in our vicinity and we get to see many things we share with each other. If only Pakistanis will utilise their resources, which Allah has bestowed upon them,upto little percentage, they would be able to buy Kashmir and whole of north india from their wealth if allowed. So, even if we stop the waters of Kashmir from reaching Pakistan, by Allah, Pakistan will not be destroyed at all, instead, they will rely on mineral resources which will turn it into more prosperity. You should think of something different to lay blame upon Pakistan and falsely pretend to expose the bad intention of Pakistan. Where do you consider Islam in our relation with Pakistan? This secularism has made Ayaat of Allah obscure for you.

(We have during the passage of time witnessed the emergence of a different class of people, who call themselves as staunh Islamists but disagree Kashmir's Merger with Pakistan for some unknown reasons. It will be more sensible to refute their arguments than countering seculars, as of now, as they are the prime focus of this topic. So lets proceed)

2. They say: " We dont want to merge with a country where there is secular and democratic form of government, we dont want to live with them".

I see much sincerity in your arguments, by Allah, but what prevents you from opting for our merger with Pakistan needs to be explored and discovered. You say there is secular government in Pakistan!, you must acknowledge that the people there are fundamentalists by nature and we dont need to prove that, it is already established. However, i say there is no secularism in Pakistan's policy of governance, there is no freedom of speech against Islam, no non-muslim is a legislator in Pakistan's parliament. There is democracy but not secularism, and the only thing which prevents Pakistan government from implementing Islamic law is their own state of weakness in Emaan but not secularism. Moreover, if you desist from merging with Pakistan only because of secularism then i ask you, "why do you not consider secular population of Kashmir, who openly stand for secularism here?" Will you thow them out of Kashmir after freedom? or You will yourselves migrate to some desert, where there are no people against you? The answer to both these questions is NO, if a muslim is made to enjoin good and forbid evil. The only way forward to deal with seculars in Kashmir is to engage them in religious dialogue and convince them about Islamic values, and if they dont agree with you, the last resort is to fight them and with the help of Allah establish an Islamic state infront of them. Why should we not employ same policy regarding Pakistan, why should secularism or little number of seculars hinder the hearts of believers from uniting with each other? You are talking of Islam minus Muslim unity, how on earth we shall accept this when Muslim Ummah is one Ummah only! We are surely helpless as of now, but that should not procrastinate us and thus make us reject main objecticves of Ummah. Conclusively, the non-existing secularism in Pakistan does not prove your point here, we ask you for furthur reasons.

3. They say: " We dont want to merge with Pakistan because they have miserably failed to establish Khilafah and instead became slaves of United Snakes(states). So, we dont want ourselves to become slaves of america."

This is the truth, but there should be some equipment or process which we whilst using/applying, can tell us if all of the Pakistani people are slaves of america or just few factions of it. Imagine! if whole lot of people of Ummah say that "all Kashmiris are the slaves of india and there is no fun to help them through different means" - you will see them supporting their statement after looking at the mainstream political parties of Kashmir who are generally all puppets of india. What shall be your reaction towards them? If you ask me, i will drag them and get hold of their neck and tell them that all of the kashmiris are not the slaves of india. Similarily, when we put all Pakistani people in the same boat of american slavery, we find that we are unjust and BIASED against the innocent population of Pakistan. We must acknowledge the constant work done by Islamist organisations of Pakistan regarding the renaissance of Islam. When Tanzeem-e-Islami was created, Dr. Israr Ahmed -Rahimahullah- with the help of Allah was able to create 10,000 personnel in first two years, who were ready to sacrifice everything (what Dr. Sahab used to call Tann, Mann and Dhann) for the sake of Khilafah and from that time the number went on an increasing trend, today hamdulillah, we see there are a vast number of people who are totally into this work, sacrificing whatever they can for this pious goal. I ask you, my brothers -How many of us are ready to sacrifice our lives and wealth for the sake of Khilafah. We might recruit a good number of people for this job, but it needs to be organised to carry forward any work, which Pakistani Islamists are very good into, they are very well organised, their work is result oriented and we are '0' in organisation. And besides Tanzeem-e-Islami, Tableeghi Jamaat has done wonders in Pakistan, Jamaat-ud-Dawa has been very instrumental in different fields of Islamic renaissance. How should our conscience allow us to dissociate ourselves from these noble people, except when we understand things in a completely contrary manner? There is a need of analysis on our part about this subject, about which we have always been invariable. If i ask you why are Kashmiris slaves of india? why cant w relieve ourselves from it? Your answer will be simply that, we are living under indian occupation and we are helpless, then we must understand that if we are occupied by one country i-e, india, Pakistan is fought not by one country or two countries but three countries which are India, Israel and United Snakes, these enemies of Islam are trying to destroy Pakistan at all levels, these bombings and all are done inorder to dis-integrate Pakistan. The recent Karachi killings and Altaf Hussein's statements should be enough for us to understand that Pakistan is faced by many enemies within, who bow down to enemies of Islam wholly. Now, you may ask that Pakistan is a failed state then. I do not consider Pakistan a failed state even after this much dejection because i believe untill the Islamists of Pakistan keep working in their way, the help of Allah is not far. And -Naoodbillah- if these Islamists seize their work and bow down to enemies, that will be the only sign for calling Pakistan a failed state. See brothers, i am not supporting the so called government of Pakistan at all, but we should also take into account the support Pakistan government has provided to Kashmir by organised Jihad, financial support and many other things. It is them who trainded our Mujahideen, it is this heretic goernment which have alaways raised the issue of Kashmir when all other rulers and kings of Islamic countries have forgotten it. This ingenuine government of Pakistan has achieved what no other province of Islam has achieved, they have atleast obeyed one Ayat of Qur'an where Allah orders us to gather things of power against disbelievers, so as to strike the enemy of Allah and our enemy. I ask you, how many ayaat of Qur'an have we been obeying? The situation of Pakistan is such that if the Islamists inside it are not supported, applauded and adhered, the Ummah will have to face serious catastrophes. You must not ask to us the questions like, why only Pakistan? Why not other countries like malaysia, indonesia or egypt...?? By Allah this does not make any sense. Allying ourselves with Pakistan does not mean we dont like or love rest of the Ummah, but Pakistan is only more popular in Kashmir because of the nature of its cause, our love for all Muslims is equal to that of Pakistan. Reverberating the word 'PAKISTAN' in Kashmir serves the strategic interest. You must know that why india is providing more ground to seculars of Kashmir. If any political party works without any hindrance in Kashmir, it is only those associated with secularism. This must be aptly understood as to why seculars of Kashmir have more freedom to ask for freedom of Kashmir than other people. The thing is that they are void of Islam and they falsely deem Pakistan as same as india, which benifits none but india itself in a sense that it asks Pakistan to vacate Kashmir and stop raising this issue in any international forum. So at the end india wants kashmir to become its internal issue, so that no one would question them for whatever they do with us.

Furthur arguments...

4. They say: "There is much Shirk in Pakistan, we dont want to be a part of Mushrik state. Let Pakistan establish Khilafah first, end this shirk, then we will think of merging with them".

As for what you claim about presence of shirk in Pakistan, i cant say no there is not. Indeed a vast number of Pakistanis are invloved in shirk like grave worshipping and other things. We must definitely be concerned with this grave situation. But a glance at our own backyard tells us something same. Driving from Hazratbal to Lalchowk in srinagar, we see Mazaars and Astaans after every handspan with people thronging them for worship. We must strongly stand up to finish off shirk from all societies. And coming to your opinion that let Pakistan establish Khilafah first, I cannot dispute this because this is your opinion and it is different than my opinion and this is a thing where difference of opinion does not prove more fatal. I would prefer to merge even with democratic Pakistan for the reason that it will give me a chance to work with the noble Muslims of Pakistan for the Islamic renaissance, who are very well organised in their work and updated about all developments of world regarding anti-Islamic policies of anti-islamists.

However, i think that any prior judgement in this regard does not hold any significance as this depends upon how things will unfold in future.

5. They say: "We want to live as a seperate province and not as a part of Pakistan in a Global Islamic Khilafah"

If in all of your arguments, i see the most valid and genuine demand, it is this above one. But sincerely, this demand needs a specific time to be asked and it cannot be asked to anyone except the chosen Leader of Believers. We as Muslims have a right to ask for such things to our Ameer but only when there is such a system present among us. So for the time, it would be absolutely gracious and appropriate if you brothers would stand with us for the greater good, keeping your own desires, for which this is not the perfect time, aside for a while.

May Allah unite us for His cause. If we ask our enemies that whom they are afraid of the most then they say:

" We have defeated the arabs.!! Now, we have no fear of them at all. But we must have fear of Pakistan that they may rise up and stand in our way against us to destroy us."

These are the words of David ben gurion - Israel's first prime minister, he spoke them in Paris when Israel defeated 6 arab countries all at once in 1967 war which continued for 6 days. This was the time when Pakitan even did not possessed Nuclear weapons.

David Ben Gurion furthur says:

"There is a country called Pakistan. They are the lover of the arabs.These Pakistanis are more dangerous to us than arabs. They hate jews, they want to finish us. They are only second country to have an ideology like us, based on religion. We have to finish these Pakistanis, wipe them off the map, India can help us to finish them. We have to get rid of them, kill them, plot bomb blasts there, send spies. We have only one option.. kill Pakistanis or get killed. Whereas, the inhabitants of indian peninusla are hindus whose hearts are full of hatred against Muslims, throughout history, like those of christians of spain, that they had demonstrated in 1492, by eliminating all of them, after they had ruled them for eight centuries. Therefore, india is most important country that provides the base for us after spain to work there against Pakistan. It is important for us that we exploit this base and strike and crush Pakistanis, the enemies of Jews and Zionism, by all disguised and secret plans."

December 6 1983 speech.

I would not feel reluctant to compare these words of David Ben Gurion with the words of Abu Sufyaan which he spoke at Uhad. It was when Rasulullah SAW and Sahabas gathered on a mountain pass after the assault of Khalid bin al-Waleed, Abu Sufyaan advanced to the mountain pass and shouted:

" Is Muhammad (SAW) among you"?

Rasulullah SAW ordered all Sahabas to stay calm and dont reply.

Abu Sufyaan furthur said:

"Is Abu Bakr (RTA) among you?"

again no reply from Sahabas.

Abu Sufyaan furthur said;

"Is son of Al-Khattab (RTA) among you?"

again no reply from Sahabas.

Abu Sufyaan went on saying: " all of them are dead! and thats why you dont reply me''. after this, Sayyedina Umer Ibn al-Khattab RTA said to him:

"Our dead are in Jannah and your dead are in fire."

The similarity between words of Abu Sufyaan and David Ben Gurion can be easily understood. Abu Sufyaan, a very intelligent man knew that if after Rasulullah SAW, there was anyone among Muslims who could unite them and keep them intact upon their deen, it was none other than Abu Bakr RTA, and that is why he asked for Abu Bakr RTA after Rasulullah SAW, and if after Abu Bakr RTA, there was anyone who could keep Muslims united and keep them intact upon their deen, it was none other than Son of Al-Khattab RTA and thats why he asked for Ibn al-Khattab RTA after Abu Bakr RTA. So my point is that David Bin Gurion knew in 1967 only that if the jews have to fear any other country after arabs, it is none other than Pakistan and that forced him to discuss Pakistan with his fellow zionists even before Pakistan achieved nuclear weapons. Do not think that David ben gurion was foolish, wallah he was as inteligent as Abu Sufyaan, who could easily conceive every action of enemies and their threats and thus plan accordingly. The intelligence of Abu Sufyaan holds high status in history, he escaped Rasulullah SAW and Sahabas when they tried to attack his caravaan which came from syria to Makkah which later resulted in Gazwa e Badr. When some passer by told him that he saw around 300 soldiers marching somwhere, Abu Sufyaan feared that they might be Muslims of Madinah coming to attack his caravaan. So he marched back from other route from where Muslim army had passed before and took the camel dung from there and found that it contained seeds of dates. After that he said: Indeed none among the arabs feed their cattle with dates except the people of Madinah for they have date crops in abundance, so with this he was sure that Muslim of Madinha were following him. so he took other route and reached to Makkah, mobilised his army and met Muslims at BADR.

This comparison must keep us vigilant about the intelligence of our enemies and we must fully employ all sources to withstand them. Now, it is clear to us atleast that if there is any threat to enemies of Islam from the Muslim camp, it is none other than Pakistan. When Sahabas and Tabi'eens would give up their lives in the way of Allah for securing the walls of their fortresses from enemy attacks, should we not stand to secure the most valuable asset of Ummah which is in Pakistan, wallah, if we do not secure this asset, i see this will become highly vulnerable. Instead of dissociating our ways from this asset, we must rally around it to guard it for this is the blessing of allah upon us. If untill this time, Masjid al Aqsa stands, it is by the grace of Allah and this asset of ummah.

Comparatively, we see many things similar between Kashmir and Pakistan, and our blaim against Pakistan for those shortcomings which we also possess ourselves cannot be called SINCERITY at all but BIAS. Furthurmore, i see that Pakistan is better than Kashmir in many faith and conviction based areas, which need to be acknowledged to replace the BIAS with SINCERITY.

Any furthur arguments from any section are most welcomed and shall be with the grace of Allah answered in a decent manner.

Thanks for your time. May Allah bless you and me.
