What central and state governments are doing to solve an internal riddle of Kashmir issue is worth noting.  The local government is trying to set up a dialogue with the separatist groups with the help of central government hoping to find an ultimate solution which will appeal and appease all stakeholders.  However, due to reluctance on the part of separatist groups leaders, the governments have not been successful so far - but the step is at least in the right direction.  As we know, the jihadis across the border are hell bent to create chaotic situation in Kashmir by sending infiltrators and suicide bombers.  The latest announcement by Salahuddin of one of the militant outfits in Pakistan is a live example.  He is not the only one, there are many many more who are doing their best to disrupt the peaceful environment in Kashmir.  I wonder if the central government ever contemplated or is contemplating a selective killings of these monsters- wherever they are.  Because as the adage goes, to defeat the army, it is essential to kill the leader leading that army.

Pakistan has been trying to make an outstanding issue of Kashmir as an international flash point since 1947, but all in vain.  All the previous Prime Ministers tried their best to keep this issue alive in the eyes of all other nations via. the United Nations.  However, every time the response from the audience was the same which led to their conclusion that this is an internal matter and ought to be sorted out by India and Pakistan only.  Unfortunately, Pakistan is not getting this message.  Now what Prime Minster Sharif is doing is putting the monkey on the back of his Parliamentarians to internationalize this outstanding issue.  This seems like he has found a scapegoat  and is shifting the burden to the legislators.  But he is forgetting one thing and that is that being the Prime Minister of a country he can delegate that authority, but cann't escape his responsibility.  Ultimately, he is responsible to his citizens on this issue.  Therefore, deputing some legislators on this is like swaying a sword in the dark which will not result in anything positive.  It is just an eyewash to divert people's attention away from him.

Indeed it is a good news that the international forum - United Nations - has accepted and confirmed 6 residential addresses of a fugitive gang leader Dawood in Pakistan even though the Pakistani government has been denying his existence in its territory from day one.  But this confirmation by the United Nations is not enough to arrest him and bring him to justice for the crimes he committed in 1993.  What is needed to know is to find out what kind of teeth this announcement has to achieve the ultimate objective to punish this fugitive for his crimes.  Can United Nations force the Pakistani government to arrest him and hand him over to the Indian government?  If not, then what good is this confirmation of addresses?  How and what does India gain anything out of this announcement?  UN needs to initiate a resolution to slap stringent sanctions on Pakistan for harboring a criminal who is responsible for the death of hundreds of innocent people in India.  India ought to lobby on this issue with the help of USA, Russia and other friendly countries in the civilized world.

I admire the judgement of UK court against Mr. Choudary.  He claims and feels proud to be the narrator of Sharia Law for the last 20 years and considers it a service to the Muslim community believing in the Sharia Law.  He also claims that the book of Sharia Law is a divine text.  I wonder if he meant that it is a divine text for the Jihadi Muslims only.  Because under the Sharia Law, there is no freedom for the female community - no education for them, no acceptance of LGBT community, no tolerance for the non-Muslim communities, and it basically leads one to the caliphate state - killing and torturing innocent people.  This text does not lead any one to the spiritualism. So, how can it be a divine text? Mr. Choudary and his followers are bunch of brainwashed militants who deserve severe punishment.  They are the traitors.  While living in the UK excite others to rise against the nation which is feeding them.  They are bunch of people who are exploiting the soft tenets of democracy.  They need to be treated with a heavy handedness.  Kudos to the UK judicial system.

I agree with the factual narration of our Kashmir issue with Pakistan. I also agree with him about the conclusion of how it is going to be resolved. In my opinion there are three ways to look at the Kashmir issue. One being, to accept LOC as the international boundary which will not guarantee prevalence of peace in the area because of non-state actors' efforts to disrupt any agreement between India and Pakistan, second being, keep fighting the ways both nations have been fighting since 1947 and the third being what the writer of this article has insinuated and that is to have a full scale war and the winner takes it all. No third party is needed to solve this issue. If there is a war now between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir border, I do not think China, a big brother of Pakistan, will get involved because of covert backing from the USA to India.

In a way Chinese leader visiting India is insinuating that India should not follow other countries who are objecting an encroachment of China in the South China Sea.  Also, he is hinting that if India does not follow what China is insinuating, there could be business repercussions.  I think India ought not to listen to China on this issue at all.  China never helped India on any international issue.  Why should India come to support China on this illegal occupation of international waters.  China should abide by the United Nations Tribunal judgment. India should not support China on any issue unless China first vacate Indian territory occupied by them in the Ladakh area, shun all claims on Arunachal Prades and start stamping Indian Passports for the people of Kashmir visiting China along with supporting India for the entry in the NSG.  As far as business tariff situation is concerned, it should always be reciprocal failing which there should not be any business agreement.  Choice should be of China what they want to do.  Do they want an acrimonious relationship with India or live in a friendly environment in that region?

The type of diplomatic treatment provided to Mr. Rajnath Singh in Pakistan is deplorable. No respect was accorded to him which every delegate representing his/her government deserves. Pakistani leadership treated him like a third class citizen.  I think it was a mistake on the part of an Indian government to send Mr. Singh to Pakistan.  Even his counterpart in the host country avoided Mr. Singh to shake hand at least to show some courtesy.  The Indian government should take a cue from this incident and declare their decision that in future no Indian dignitary will visit Pakistan till the Pakistani government eradicates the existence of all the non-state militant actors from its soil.  Those militants who were demonstrating in the vicinity of venue of SAARC meeting were supported by the nexus of Pakistani military/ISI.  It shows that this was a pre-planned activity with the blessing of Pakistani leadership.  Mr. Khan is giving India a lecture not to attack an unarmed people in Kashmir which is not what is happening in Kashmir.  These separatists are fully armed and supported by Pakistan. May be Mr. Khan is forgetting what his own government is doing in Balochistan and in other territories.  They are killing innocent unarmed people mercilessly.  Let's talk about it Mr. Khan. Till Pakistan eradicates terrorism from its soil, India should show a zero tolerance dealing with Pakistan - no flexibility at all.
