It seems that raising of Pakistani and now ISIS flags has become a normal practice in Kashmir by the pro-Pakistani Muslims, and needless to say, they have the backing of separatist leaders of the state.  This activity is dangerous and is against the interest of India and needs to be nipped in the bud before it gives birth to a wound which might turn out to be non-curable cancerous.  However, this writer is very disappointed at the inept local government and to some extent at the central government also of not being able to put these anti-Indians behind bars for a longer period of time without parole.  To me, they are the traitors and ought to be treated accordingly.  I do not know the provisions of an Indian Constitution, but if it means to mend the Constitution to bring these separatists to justice, so be it.  Needless to say, Pakistan is not going to leave a Kashmir issue alone regardless how much economic sacrifice Pakistan has to make.  They want to keep this issue alive to divert local public's attention from the shortfalls and downward trends Pakistan is going through in practically every sphere.  India should not keep its hope high in this respect.  The only way to overcome this Kashmir issue is to dismantle Pakistan which means - help the Balochis and Sindis to break away from Pakistan.  KP Province is anti-Pakistan anyway.  The end result ought to be that Pakistan is left with one Province of Panjab.  India should endeavor to refresh a 1971 Bangladesh history to Islamabad.  That is the only way to do it.

I am very confused with the contents of this report.  The report lists all the shortcomings of Pakistani government's actions to eliminate terrorism from its territory, but still US government provides all the financial and military help to the Pakistani government.  It clearly states that even though the Pakistani army has been trying for a year to eliminate terrorists from one part of Pakistan, but still ignores the non-state actors who are being used as proxies against India on the LOC.  Pakistani government knows who these non-state actors are, but fail to take any stern action against them.  So, one is forced to infer the purpose of this report.  Is it just a document to satisfy the domestic audience or does it have any legs to stand.  Irrespective of its purpose, to me it appears just a piece of document which serves no purpose towards eliminating a terror menace from that part of the world.  Printing these type of ironical documents  is just a waste of time, energy and resources.  The world ought not to expect any concrete action from the Pakistani government towards eradicating terror threats till the nexus of ISI/Military is in control of foreign and domestic security affairs in the country.

What Mr. Musharraf is saying is trying to be on the side of his protectors - the army.  Even though he is no body in Pakistan. He cann't afford to go against the wishes of his protectors.  He faced a terrible defeat in his adventure in Kargil.  He knows India's strength in the conventional sense of war.  Pakistan just boasts of its nuclear power to threaten India.  This writer feels that if there is a nuclear war, yes there will be a great deal of damage in India, but Pakistan will be wiped off the map.  Pakistan should not forget this unimaginable scenario.  As far as India is concerned, I do not think Indian leaders should pay too much attention to what he says - make him irrelevant.

I agree with Mr. Togadia's statement.  Those who raise Pakistani flags in the Indian territory ought to be treated as traitors.  They do not deserve to live in India and to be fed by India.  Either they depart from India or should be put behind bars for a longer term without any parole.  They should be made to do a hard labor work while in the prison.  They have to earn their food while being imprisoned.  However, as Mr. Togadia insinuated that just 'house arresting' these separatists will not do the job.  Stern action is required to nip this evil in the bud.  I do not think the PDP leaders either have the stamina or willingness to take such an action.  Hence, the burden falls on the shoulder of a central government to devise some ways to get rid of these separatists.  There is no place for them in India.  Congress leaders did not do anything in this matter, rather they turned a blind eye on the activities of these separatist from day one, just to appease the Muslim voting bank in the J & K state.  Let's see what BJP can do differently.

Mr. Geelani says that he is not an Indian by birth.  Then the question to be asked is what country does he think he was born in if not India.  If he was not born in India, then he is not entitled to have an Indian passport and also no right to live in India and enjoy the hospitality of the local and the central governments.  Indian governments ought not to expect any allegiance to India from Mr. Geelani, since he is not an Indian citizen, by his own assertion.  This writer has a follow-up question which needs to be answered by the local and the central governments.  What is stopping them to push this man out of the country?  Since it is very obvious that he is surviving on the mercy and financial support of a nation across the border, why does not the central government provide him one way ticket and ship him out to Pakistan?  He is a traitor anyway like a few other Muslims living in India.  Why to feed traitors?

I am really impressed with one thing about the Pakistani representatives and that is 'consistency.'  Consistency about lying for anything.  Whenever there is any terrorist activity emanating from Pakistan, the Pak representatives right away take no responsibility.  Their leaders will make ironical statements about it.  On one hand they will show to the world that Pakistan is ready to ameliorate relationship with India and on the other hand, they will keep abetting and financing the non-state terrorist actor in Pakistan to foment trouble at LOC.  Now coming back to the supply of nuclear bombs to Saudi Arabia, the Pak representative is openly telling the Pentagon officials that there is no truth to it.  Do you guys really believe what he is saying is true?  As the world knows, Pakistani economy is being floated by the Saudis for decades.  Stoppage of cash inflow from Saudis will shut down every operation of Pakistan.  Now Saudis are in trouble, for their own doing - mismanagement of their own policies, ill-treatment of citizens and strict man-made Islamic Sharia laws - due to increasing Iranian influence in the region, Saudis along with the leaders in Qatar have told Pakistan that the time has come to pay off.  Do Pentagon officials really think that Pakistan will say no to them after being obligated for so many decades?  Of course not.  One has to read in between lines what the Paki representative said.  He said Pakistan will not supply any nuclear arsenal to Saudis, but it does not mean that Pakistan cann't convince other countries with the nuclear bombs to follow through the need of Saudis.  One ought not to forget that what North Korea has is the creation of Pakistan - financed by the Saudis and technically supported by Pakistan.  Needless to say, the middle east situation is very sensitive and if not handled cautiously and properly can lead to a major worldwide catastrophic scenario.  One thing is for sure, DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT THE PAKISTANI LEADERS ARE SAYING IN THIS RESPECT.  IT SEEMS THAT THEY BELIEVE IN LYING.

Mr. Kamal's comments ought not to be taken lightly both by the local and the central government.  It releases an anti-India smell and should be nipped in the bud.  I think NC is using him as a mouth piece of its own feeling of pro-Pak sentiments.  However, Mr. Kamal is right in saying that Pakistani flag, like any other country's flag, should be respected, but Mr. Kamal's comments do not refer to the location of a Pakistani flag where it needs to be raised.  Under no circumstances, it should be allowed to be raised in the Indian territory.  This writer has a strong feeling that Mr. Kamal and his Abdullah group family members along with other separatists in Kashmir are puppets of a nation across the border.  Their activities and statements need a thorough probe and scrutiny and anything they say and propagate which is anti-India should be declared an act of a traitor.  Accordingly, they should face a legal music in the court - not just the house arrest.

What Mr. Aziz is saying is nothing new.  As usual, he is running around the bush instead of addressing the terrorism problem directly.  The main cause of terrorism in that part of the world is the instigation, abetting, financing of the Pakistani nexus of military/ISI to the non-state actor of Pakistan.  The leaders of J-u-Islami, JuM and LeT etc. are perpetrating terrorist activities openly and with the full blessings of the above nexus against India.  Can Pakistan deny it?  Their spewing of venom against India on a regular basis is not a hidden fact.  Is Pakistan not aware of it?  Mr. Aziz along with other previous and present  leaders always keeps Kashmir issue in front all other domestic and foreign problems.  The idea of this exercise is mainly to divert the attention of locals from the failure and inability of the government in Islamabad to run the country in  a more peaceful fashion.  Reviewing the general economic, political and cultural situation in Pakistan, one can easily infer that the Pakistani leadership cann't manage the territory they already have, forget about claiming and adding  Kashmir into their existing jurisdiction.  Bulochs would like to get rid of Pakistan at a heart beat, Sindh is burning on a daily basis and the locals are experiencing all sorts of atrocities and inhuman treatment at the hands of Sunis, the Province of KP is terror stricken and has become unmanageable.  Pakistan does not have an economic, political and military strength to run the country in an acceptable manner.  Therefore, Mr. Aziz's statement is quite ironical and does not need any attention from the Indian government.  Let's make it irrelevant.
