‘US knew India would rob Occupied Kashmir of special status’ - News Desk

After New Delhi stripped Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) of its special status, it has emerged that the Modi administration’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told his American counterpart Mike Pompeo of his government’s plan.

On Monday, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government revoked the disputed Himalayan territory’s special status by abrogating Article 370.

Sources inside the Indian government told The Print that this was not the first time Washington was briefed on this issue.

In February, two days after the Pulwama attack, India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval had phoned his US counterpart John Bolton of plans to do away with the special status.

The sources, however, said the decision to bifurcate the state came much later.

Jaishankar’s meeting with the US secretary of state came on the sidelines of the 9th East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Bangkok on August 1.

Jaishankar had also reiterated to Pompeo that the US does not need to mediate in the Kashmir dispute and that any discussion on this issue, “if at all warranted”, will only be with Pakistan unilaterally.

The Indian government did not want to take a chance when it came to the US, and so all necessary safeguards were taken to apprise the Trump administration of the move, sources added.

Sources further said that the Ministry of External Affairs had also taken the UK, China, France and Russia into confidence over the move.

Similarly, envoys of all 15 members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) were also briefed.

During its briefing to the envoys, New Delhi shared that the proposals being mulled over in the Indian parliament are purely internal to the country itself.

“These are aimed at providing good governance, promoting social justice and ensuring economic development in IOK,” the source said.

“There has been no international reaction yet on this issue, which shows that India had done its calculations well in advance. And the US being an important and crucial member of the P-5, it is imperative to see how it reacts,” veteran diplomat KC Singh said.

’‘Naive’ PM should have seen warning signs in Occupied Kashmir: Bilawal

“If it ignores the move, then perfect. If it does not, then India should be worried,” he added.

Modi and Trump are set to come face-to-face at the G-7 Summit in France later this month.

The Indian prime minister is also set to hold a bilateral meeting with Trump in September when both leaders will be in the US for the UN General Assembly.

Last month, MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar had said that it was time to “move on” from Trump’s ‘controversial’ statement on US interest in mediating the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan.

Trump, however, did it again. Last week, during a media briefing in Washington, the US president reiterated his offer to mediate on the issue.

Cheers

https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/508882 ... uble-cross

A hillarious mix of ranting, blatant falsehoods, suave half-truths, veiled threats, delusions of grandeur and begging (with gun to own head) by this jihadi scum in uber-rape coating, who unfortunately counts as a 'liberal' as far as our track thoo morons goes.

The great double cross?

When Pakistan’s most important decision-maker embarked on a grand strategic reset, he knew he would not have an easy road ahead – but what has transpired in the last few weeks in Occupied Kashmir indicates just how treacherous and difficult the strategic terrain is for any Pakistani seeking to change the arc of history.

The lazy and ahistoric analysis of Pakistan’s many geopolitical challenges, and one that has enamoured many an observer of the region, both foreign and domestic, is that Pakistan has sought to enjoy influence that is not matched by its actual capacity. Failing to bridge the gap between the two with economic or military might, Pakistan has relied on non-traditional instruments of influence to continue to seek some abstract notion of regional relevance and power that Pakistan supposedly does not deserve. Thus, goes this same lazy analysis, Pakistan sponsored militancy in Kashmir and the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The reason this is lazy and ahistoric is because it makes Pakistan the centre of the universe – and renders all other actors, essentially of zero or negligible agency. As much as so many of us may like to believe – Pakistan is in fact, not at all the centre of the universe. Pakistan never controlled the Soviet Union, or the United States. And no man or nation has ever controlled an Afghan. What Pakistan did was open its doors, over four decades, to as many as seven million Afghans who were dislocated by the disruption that the Soviet Union, the nujahideen, the US, the Taliban, and Nato/Isaf have wreaked on Afghanistan. Best of all, whenever the US asked, Pakistan stepped up. For the last two decades it tried to support the Bush, then the Obama and now the Trump administration in their quest to figure out why the US was in Afghanistan and how it could get out.

Pakistan made some questionable judgements all through this, of this there can be no doubt. Backing the Taliban, in pursuit of a stable Afghanistan back in 1994, can be questioned. It certainly seems like a terrible call. But as critics, we should be able to offer alternative histories in which Pakistan could have secured its legitimate national interest on its north-west frontier: peace and stability.

Despite the poor call on the Taliban in the 1990s – or perhaps precisely because of it – Pakistani diplomats, soldiers, spies and journalists knew in October 2001, what American (and Western) diplomats, soldiers, spies and journalists are resisting even today. The very perpetrators of atrocities in Afghanistan that enabled the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s (people like Rashid Dostum, and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar), would have to ultimately sit down with each other, and with the Taliban. A grand compact that affords a share of the spoils to a wide enough spectrum of actors in Kabul is the only guarantor of limiting the threat of the global opium and terror trade that seems to thrive in Afghanistan – whether Uncle Sam is looking or not.

The lazy analysis blames all of this on Pakistan. But what has Pakistan (or the US for that matter) gained in these last eighteen years? Clearly, not much. So who did gain from it? The September 11 terrorist attacks and the subsequent US invasion of Afghanistan were a God-send to the Indian strategic community.

After decades of hiding behind the Soviet Union (whilst brutalizing Occupied Kashmir) India used the US mission in Afghanistan as the vehicle through which it would eventually hitch its fortunes to the US. In effect, 9/11 helped India transition from its aimless flailing about of the late 1990s, to a respected client state for the grand US strategic ambitions in the Indian Ocean and Asian continent at large. In the US mission in Afghanistan, Auntie India found its candlelight moment with Uncle Sam – the ideal strategic juxtaposition: “Look! The Pakistanis do to us in Kashmir, what they do to you in Kandahar”.

Just like in Afghanistan, Pakistan has made some questionable judgments on the Eastern front too. Take the trajectory of JKLF leader Yasin Malik. Malik eschewed militancy a quarter century ago. Through most of this period, Pakistan chose to back the anti-Yasin Maliks of Kashmir. This predilection for Kashmiriat draped in extreme religious narratives enabled and fuelled India’s strategic juxtaposition (the 26/11 Mumbai attacks sealed the deal).

By 2008, the very groups that had given the Indians nightmares in the Valley in the mid-1990s had become a noose around Pakistan’s neck. UNSC Resolution 1267, which is the chokehold being applied to Pakistan at every FATF meeting over the last two years, is a direct correlate of the questionable judgments made by Pakistan over the last several decades. All these years that Yasin Malik has been detained, and tortured by the Indian occupiers of Kashmir, he has exposed Mother India as only a moral leader can. But in doing so, Malik has exposed Pakistan’s own short sightedness and lack of imagination too.

Part of the thinking behind General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s attempt to fashion a grand strategic reset has been a growing clarity among Pakistani strategists of the unsustainability of the status quo. With a little help from China (and friendly Middle-Eastern countries), this clarity has been building gradually.

Pakistan has been stuck between the vice of a dysfunctional and warring Afghanistan, and a Kashmir in which suffering has not abated, for a full four decades now. Neither the meddling of the 1990s, nor the concessions of the 2000s, nor the middling efforts to achieve breakthroughs throughout have worked. Meanwhile, the overall economic imbalance in South Asia has grown to staggering levels, with mere ministries within the Indian Union now capable of outspending the entire Islamic Republic of Pakistan – a republic that needs an IMF bailout at the beginning of every new government, going back to the post-Kargil coup of 1999.

The collapse of trust between the military and former PM Nawaz Sharif (without litigating blame for it) may have delayed the process, but efforts for a grand strategic reset have been in motion since before the 2018 elections. The required civil-military partnership for such a reset was delivered through the 2018 election itself. Two additional ingredients were crucial. The first was a modicum of fairness in how the US speaks of, and to, Pakistan. This was delivered last month during the visibly different Pak-US atmospherics in which the Trump-Khan meeting took place. The second was a degree of integrity and reciprocity from New Delhi.

From the dramatic cooling off of the Line of Control in the run up to last year’s election, to the delay in hanging convicted terrorist Kulbushan Jadhav, to the speed with which the Kartarpur Corridor has taken shape, to the restraint demonstrated after India’s Balakot attack, to the return of Wing Commander Abhinandan – there has been a sustained purpose to Pakistan’s behaviour. Its most obvious intent seems to have been the establishment of mutual trust.

Sadly, India’s bloodthirsty media and its wag-the-dog Hindutva politics uses moments like Pulwama as TRP bonanzas, at the altar of which, anything can be sacrificed – including Indian lives. Yet the Indian discourse ignores the array of sustained evidence that reflects the intended grand strategic Pakistani reset.

Backchannel engagements with India were supposed to have covered this risk. At a time when Pakistan was enabling a dignified and clean transition of the US mission in Afghanistan, India may have been expected to help cool down the Line of Control and dial down any rhetoric that would cause fissures between the countries to grow.

What has India done instead? The opposite. It has sprayed gasoline all across the Kashmir Valley, and is now playing with a lighter, threatening to set fire to the entire region. In essence, it is explicitly signalling its continued insistence on pure and unadulterated hegemony.

Pakistan is not Bangladesh – no matter how conciliatory and full of restraint General Bajwa, Prime Minister Khan and the rest of the country’s leaders may be. If India tries to settle the Kashmir issue through further bloodletting of innocent Kashmiris, and through constitutional hide-and-seek, a grand strategic reset will become extremely difficult. India’s great double cross of a peaceful and conciliatory Pakistan will be tragic. But it may also be India’s ultimate prize in all this anyway. Perhaps Indian strategists believe that perpetual conflict is the only way India can sustain its occupation of Kashmir. Shame on them.

India does not need to retaliate if some harm befalls Jhadav. ICJ has affirmed it's jurisdiction, called for his safety and wellbeing. Called for consular access. Called for due process and proper representation.

ICJ is part of UN charter. If Pakis disobey ICJ other member states are free to ignore UN resolutions where Pakis are a party. I can think of a few.

On top of it, ICJ will never again take up a case where pakis are a party. So no appealing kishenganga to ICJ or 370 to ICJ.

Good going terroristan... maybe they can register themselves as Yunani Hakeems now

Yawn - Pakistani doctors with MS, MD degrees sacked in Saudi Arabia

In a worrying development, Saudi Arabia and some other Arab countries have rejected the century-old postgraduate degree programme of Pakistan — MS (Master of Surgery) and MD (Doctor of Medicine) — removing it from the eligibility list of the highest paid tier.

This decision has reportedly rendered hundreds of highly qualified medics jobless. A majority of them are in Saudi Arabia who have been told to leave or be ready for deportation.

Rejecting Pakistan’s MS/MD degree, the Saudi ministry of health claimed it lacked structured training programme, a mandatory requirement to hire medics against important positions.

After the Saudi move, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain also took the similar step.

Pak expels Indian envoy; suspends bilateral trade
Pakistan on Wednesday expelled Indian High Commissioner Ajay Bisaria, minutes after it decided to downgrade the diplomatic ties with India in the wake of New Delhi's 'unilateral and illegal' move to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
This was announced after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan chaired a crucial meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) in Islamabad, attended by top civil and military leadership, during which it was also decided to suspend the bilateral trade and review 'bilateral arrangements'.
"Our ambassadors will no longer be in New Delhi and their counterparts here will also be sent back," Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said in televised comments soon after the NSC meeting.
India on Monday revoked Article 370 of the Constitution to withdraw the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated the state into two Union Territories -- Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. While India's High Commissioner Bisaria is in Islamabad, his Pakistani counterpart Moin-ul-Haq is yet to take charge in New Delhi.A statement issued after the NSC meeting read that the Committee discussed situation 'arising out of unilateral and illegal actions' by the Indian government, situation inside Jammu and Kashmir and along the Line of Control.
The Committee decided 'downgrading of diplomatic relations with India' and 'suspension of bilateral trade with India', the statement said.

Suspension of trade relations will hurt Pakistan more than India
August 07, 2019
India's export basket for Pakistan has a limited portfolio as Pakistan has not given 'most favoured nation' status to New Delhi and such goods have ready market in South Asia and the Middle East.
Pakistan's decision to suspend bilateral trade ties with India would hit the neighbouring country more as they import essential items, according to experts.
India's exports to Pakistan have already dropped significantly due to strained trade relations after the Pulwama terror attack in February this year.
“The suspension of trade relations will hit Pakistan more badly as India is less dependent on Pakistan while the latter is more," Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) director general Ajay Sahai said.
India's export basket for Pakistan has a limited portfolio as Pakistan has not given 'most favoured nation' status to New Delhi and such goods have ready market in South Asia and the Middle East.

Imports from Pakistan declined by 92 per cent to $ 2.84 million in March this year compared to $ 34.61 million in March 2018, according to the commerce ministry data. India imported goods such as cotton, fresh fruits, cement, petroleum products and mineral ore from Pakistan.
During January-March period of 2018-19 fiscal, imports from Pakistan declined by 47 per cent to $ 53.65 million.
India's exports to Pakistan too have dipped by about 32 per cent to $ 171.34 million in March. However, exports had increased by 7.4 per cent to $ 2 billion during 2018-19. The main products being exported by India include organic chemicals; cotton; nuclear reactors, boilers; plastic products; tanning or dyeing extracts; cereals; sugar; coffee, tea; articles of iron and steel; copper and footwear.

US attempts to get into the Kashmir space, says India did not inform it about scrapping Article 370
The Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs on Wednesday said that the Indian government did not consult or inform the US Government before moving to revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s special constitutional
Washington/New Delhi, Aug 07, 2019: Trying to needlessly get into the Kashmir space, the United States on Wednesday said that India did not inform it about its decision to scrap Article 370 which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The US State Department also categorically rejected media reports that said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had discussed the issue with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Bangkok last week.
"Contrary to press reporting, the Indian government did not consult or inform the US Government before moving to revoke Jammu and Kashmir`s special constitutional status," the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs of the US State Department posted on Twitter, signed by Acting Assistant Secretary Alice Wells.
In the issue of scrapping Article 370, the Narendra Modi government has made it clear that it is an internal matter and the decision has been taken keeping its interest in mind. It was earlier reported that EAM S Jaishankar had spoken about the move to change Jammu and Kashmir`s status by revoking Article 370 with Pompeo during their meeting in Bangkok on the sidelines of the ASEAN-led multilaterals and even earlier.
Some other reports claimed that National Security Advisor Ajit Doval had spoken to his US counterpart John Bolton on the issue and that the US was well prepared. Importantly, the US had said on Tuesday that it has taken note of India's move to change the status of Jammu and Kashmir and that New Delhi has described it as "strictly an internal matter".

Najam Sethi reaches studio of channel 24 and was told you are fired. Call CEO in Islamabad who apologised and told that he got call from highest authority of Paki establishment to cancel show, also advised Sethi not to come to Pakiland for few years. as they are pissed off on him.

Where are the studios of channel 24 anyway? Is Hajam in a de facto exile?

I have an earnest request.

Can we collect all the news videos/articles/on-street reactions etc where the Bakistanis are talking about killing Hindus? Please post it in Bakistan related thread.
