Pakistan Briefs New Hampshire Lawmakers On Kashmir
Crisis
DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan (AP)--Six Republican lawmakers
from the U.S. state of New Hampshire began an
unofficial two-day visit to the Pakistani side of
disputed Kashmir on Tuesday as Pakistani and Indian
forces traded artillery fire elsewhere in the region,
leaving three civilians dead.

The visitors were briefed by Pakistani military
officials about the tense Himalayan region just as
Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, speaking at
an international conference, said relations with India
over Kashmir couldn't get any worse.

"I think when the situation is such that it can't even
get worse, anything that one does doesn't matter,
really," Musharraf told a news conference at the
Non-Aligned Movement summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
"We're not talking, we're not meeting," he said of
India.

Five New Hampshire House of Representatives members
and a state senator are in Kashmir as part of an
effort to gain a better understanding of the region.
They also are to meet Sikandar Hayyat Khan, prime
minister of Pakistan's part of Kashmir, and travel to
refugee camps occupied by migrants from India during
the two-day trip.

In the briefing, Brig. Gen. Iftikhar Ali Khan accused
India of having fired thousands of artillery shells
into Pakistani territory over the last two months and
violating Pakistani air space with a remote-controlled
spy plane.

In the past, India has also accused Pakistan of
shelling across the boundary.

The arrival of the delegates came as Indian and
Pakistani forces clashed in the latest of many
shootouts along the Line of Control that divides the
disputed province between the nuclear-armed rivals,
leaving three civilians dead.

The New Hampshire lawmakers were visiting the town of
Chakothi, some 60 kilometers south of Muzaffarabad,
the capital of Pakistani Kashmir, and more than 100
kilometers from where the exchange of fire took place.

Two of the victims were brothers who died instantly
when their home was caught in the crossfire in the
snowbound Neelum Valley village of Lasva, said Khalid
Mahmood Chohan, a police official in Muzaffarabad, the
capital of Pakistani Kashmir.

In a similar incident, a woman was killed and her two
young sisters seriously hurt after an Indian artillery
shell landed on their home in Lasva, about 80
kilometers northeast of Muzaffarabad, Chohan said.

The girls were rushed to a military hospital in the
nearby town of Jhimber, he said.

Pakistani and Indian troops are heavily entrenched
along the Line of Control, and they routinely exchange
artillery fire. Most casualties are civilians,
however.

The New Hampshire lawmakers are state Sen. Frank
Sapareto, House deputy majority leader Robert Giuda,
Rep. Mike Balboni, Rep. Henry McElroy, Rep. Saggy
Tahir and Rep. Kim Dionne.

India Abroad praises Pakistani for New Hampshire State Assembly vote on Kashmir

Read the India Abroad. Aziz Hanifa has given more than half page article with praises for and the photograph of the Pakistani who made it happen.

Isn't India Abroad well connected to Rediff?

India Abroad is owned by Rediff.Com.
While IA was never a balanced news source itself, lately Rediff is also turning pinko.
Note, Varsha Bhosle no more writes for Rediff, other proud Indians like Rajeev Srinivasan, Aravind Lavakare etc. are being sidelined, at the same time the anti-Hindu (consequently anti-India) brigade including prafool bidwai, josy joseph etc are prominent columnists.

They gave ample coverage to the "report" made by mathews and gang, but no mention of terrorist activities in NE India, funded by Christian charities.

See an interview last week on rediff that calls not only Veer Savarkar, but even Bhagat Singh a terrorist.

What a shame!

Below is the letter from Chairman of Balawaristan National Front Mr.Abdul Hamid to New Hampshire Legislators who visited to POK . It was released for Press release on March 16, 2003 and appreciate if you can circulate to media circles.

To The Honorable Representatives of New Hampshire,
United States of America
Mr. Robert J. Giuda (Rep)

Sub: Hampshire Legislators Visit to PoK

I have gone through the news item about your visit to a small part of Pakistan Occupied part of Jammu & Kashmir (PoK) published on 26th Feb. 2003 in Daily Dawn, Karachi, Pakistan. First of all, I appreciate your demand for a just and speedy solution of Jammu & Kashmir (J & K) conflict.

Secondly, we the indigenous people of Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) were extremely disappointed by the one sided visit and one sided views of your delegation by ignoring the big (7 times bigger than PoK) portion of disputed part of J & K, Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) .

I am also sending the list of World Record Sedition charges framed by the occupier regime of Pakistan against more than 150 political leaders (including me) and activists of Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan). As a result we may be awarded death sentence by the Pakistani imposed Court (which has been established on contract basis), to terrorize the local people,whereas not a single case has been registered against APHC and other people in their armed struggle against India. We need your kind impartial attention to these fundamental facts, by visiting Balawaristan to ascertain our grievances against the State of Pakistan.

As far as the killing and shelling of innocent people are concerned, it is a reciprocal daily routine between Indian and Paki Armies. It will go on till Pakistan and it’s dreaded intelligence agency (ISI) continues to breed, cultivate, train and infiltrate Wahabi terrorists into Indian side of J &K. This notorious agency wants to change the demography within Pakistan itself by forcing Muslims of other sects (Shias, Ismailia, Noor Bakhshi and Brelvi Sooni) to embrace Wahabism, for which they have let loose the reign of terror upon innocent people of Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan), by terming them as infidels, like Christians, Jews, Hindus etc.

Now, I would like to highlight some fundamental differences in the Indian and Pakistan occupied J & K.

“The people of Indian side of J & K have access to justice. J & K people can appeal in the High Court of J & K and have the right to appeal in the Supreme Court of India.

The people of Indian side of J & K have the right to elect their representatives in J & K Assembly and have also right to elect their representative in the Indian Assembly (Lok Sabha) and Senate (Rajya Sabha). Besides that Indian government has reserved seats for the people of Balawaristan and PoK in the J & K Assemly and Lok Sabha. The people of Indian side of J & K have the right to free movement, the right of write and the right of speech. The people of Indian side of J & K are enjoying the State Subject Rule, which protects their Property, Culture, Economy by forbiding other Indian citizens from acquiring property. No out sider can buy property or get employment in J & K.”

Pakistan has also adopted a similar setup in it’s occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoK), but has played a trick of great magnitude by denying equal rights to the people of Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan), though it constitutes a part rather a bigger part of PoK.

Unlike Indian part of J & K and PoK, the 2 million indigenous people of Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) have no right to access the Justice. Neither we have any High Court nor we have been given the right to appeal in any Pakistan High Court or Supreme Court against Human Rights violation or death sentences, if any indigenous person is awarded by Pakistani imposed Court. Our fundamental and basic human rights are denied.

The people of Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) have no right of vote to elect their representatives. We don’t have any Assembly of our own. Neither we have the right to elect our representatives for Pakistan Assembly, nor we have the right of even voting.

The people of Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) have no right to write, speech and free movement. More than 150 people of this disputed land are facing death Sentences under Sedition Charges, when they dare to write and Speak against Pakistani occupation and it’s atrocities.

Recently Mr. Hyder Shah Rezvi an ex student and prominent political leader of Baltistan, Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) was arrested, tortured and then sent to a torture cell in Chilas, when he peacefully protested against the occupation of Pakistan on 1st Nov. 2002. His bail has also been denied by the imposed court of Gilgit. On 18 August 2002 Ghazi Anwar a political leader of Karakorum National Movement (KNM) was fired by Pakistani intelligence agency (ISI), when he was leaving his home in Oshikhandaas about 15 Kilometer from Gilgit. He narrowly escaped but his colleague was seriously injured. Local Police refused to file a case against ISI culprits and rather threatened Ghazi Anwar and his family of dire consequences. After that incident he is missing and no one knows his whereabouts. We believe that he has either been kidnapped by ISI or has been liquidated, which is the ISI way of neutralizing the nationalists.

State Subject Rule which was introduced by the non-Muslim Maharaja of J & K to protect the people from external extortion/exploitation, much before Pakistani occupation, was also snatched away from us by Pakistan, due to it’s religious and sectarian differences. As a result Pakistan has settled it’s citizens,who are mostly drug and arm smugglers and terrorists, to turn the indigenous people in to minority and thus pave the way for securing majority vote in case of plebiscite. If plebiscite does not take place then Pakistan has the intention to grab the area by using these mafia/terrorists against the people of Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan). This was the evil intention that Pakistan sent our youth (NLI Soldiers) to Kargil heights in 1999 in revenge, when civilian youth refused to follow the instigation of ISI to cross the line of control to carry terrorist activities. As a result of Indian retaliation, more than 1000 NLI youth were killed, hundreds became disabled and 2 dozen are still missing. Many of our innocent civilians killed, injured and became homeless, in the retaliation of Indian forces, when Pakistan had sent foreign terrorists through Baltistan and Astor borders in to Indian side of J & K.

As far legitimacy of Pakistan over J & K is concerned, one should go through the pages of history. This is Pakistan which had signed an agreement with Maharaja, the then ruler of J & K State in Oct. 1947, which is called STANDSTILL agreement. It means, Pakistan is the first country which had accepted the authority of Mahraja over the whole J & K State. Maharaja later acceded the State of J & K with India, when Pakistan invaded J & K in violation of Stand Still agreement. In the light of Pakistan’s recognition of the Maharaj’s authority at that time, Pakistan has lost it’s legal and moral claim over J &K, because the recognized Authority (Mahara of J & K) had acceded with India, by a written agreement with the then Governor General of India Lord Mountbetan.

Finally, I appeal to you as well as to US Senators/Congressmen and other democratic people of the civilized world to concentrate and study all parts of J & K conflict particularly Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan), which has been facing the agony of SLAVERY at the hands of Pakistani fundamentalist Army/establishment. We also appeal the civilized world to restrain Pakistan from using J & K issue as religious tool, otherwise religious fundamentalism and terrorism cannot be finished in the South Asia and rest of the world.

This is Pakistan which has to withdraw it’s forces and civilians from the whole State of J & K including Balawaristan first not India, according UN resolutions.

This is also the moral duty of US and other world Community to force Pakistan to withdraw it’s forces and civilians by complying UN and UNSC resolution of 13 Aug 1948.

Finally, I would like to convey my disappointment over your visit to PoK as you had not cared to visit/meet the bigger area of J & K dispute ie Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) and it’s leaders. You had allowed yourself to be taken for a ride by Pakistani generals and bureaucrats and their puppet Prime Minister/ Ministers. I have immense faith in the American legislatures/leaders, because of your strong roots in democracy and rule of law. I shall be grateful, if you could pay attention to the plight of the 2 million innocent, poor, indigenous people of Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan), who are systematically being neutralized and kept slaves even in this 21st century.

It is therefore requested that before arriving at any conclusion regarding J & K problem, you may kindly consider visiting all the concern parts, particularly Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan).

yes thats what i said in reply to Mr Rajeev Srinivasans caution remark at the end of a recent article by him in Rediff:

what Rajeevji said was

"donot blame Rediff as anti Hindu etc as according to him and many others it is the only news journal who publish openly and boldly too all Hindu point of view:"

while making the above charge I had quoted several
instances to prove rediff is anti hindu.
1.when CM Jayalalitha enacted anti conversion bill in tamilnadu rediff covered extensively christian personalities interviews but not a single from Hindu point of view.
2. Rajiv srinivasan's article appear on Rediff and then vanish in just few hours! where as Dilip D'souzas
remain on the home page for several day's.
3.it was always this portal picks up and gives maximum publicity to any communist propaganda against HINDUS AND HINDUSISM AND BJP.
For example it was rediff which gave much wanted color to saffronisation of educatiion etc.
4.now India abroad of rediff which first created and spread the following false stories.

the tea vendor provocation by karsevaks story:
the story of flames first coming out of coach 6 at Godhra.
and the latest the so called lies of Mathew's IDRF exposure:

we are under the false impression sicne they are publishing a few pro Hindu articles in rediff ( only to woo NRI HINDUS-) WE SHOULD NOT MISTAKE IT THT THEY ARE PRO HINDU- ITS ALL BUSINESS AS THEY ARE TRYING HARD TO WOO HINDUS SO AS WITH MUSLIMS ABROAD FOR REVENUE AND INCOME
