Pakistan denounces fresh round of India curbs on Kashmiri organisations: FO
Pakistan on Wednesday denounced Indian authorities’ decision to declare two organisations of Indian-occupied Kashmir as “unlawful associations”, according to a Foreign Office statement.
A day earlier, the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs declared the Jammu and Kashmir Awami Action Committee (AAC), headed by Kashmiri chief cleric and Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, and the Jammu and Kashmir Ittihadul Muslimeen (JKIM), headed by Maulana Mohammad Abbas Ansari, as “unlawful association” for the next five years, The Hindu reported.
Last year, Indian authorities had declared several political parties as “unlawful associations” as well, bringing the total of banned political parties to 14 in the occupied region. The decision was denounced by the FO at the time as well.
“Pakistan denounces the Indian authorities’ decision to declare the AAM and JKIM as ‘Unlawful Association’ for a period of five years,” the statement said.
“The AAM is led by a prominent political and religious leader, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. The JKIM was also founded by another notable political and religious leader, Maulana Mohammad Abbas Ansari, who headed it till his demise in 2022,” the statement continued.
It added that the recent decision increases the total number of outlawed Kashmiri political parties and organisations to 16.
“Banning of different political parties and organisations is yet another manifestation of the Indian authorities’ iron-fisted approach in the IOJK [Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir],” the FO said.
The statement noted that it reflected a desire to suppress political activities and stifle dissent in the region.
It also shows sheer disregard of democratic norms and international human rights law, it added.
“The Government of India is urged to remove the curbs on the Kashmiri political parties; release all the political prisoners; and faithfully implement the UN Security Council resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir,” the statement concluded.
Earlier in the month, the FO rejected recent remarks made by India’s foreign minister on Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) as “baseless claims” while asking his country to vacate the occupied areas of the region.
The statement came a day after India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, referring to AJK, said the Kashmir dispute would be solved after the “return of the stolen part of Kashmir which is under illegal Pakistani occupation”.
The Indian government had freed Mirwaiz Farooq in Sept 2023 after more than four years of house arrest. The 50-year-old was detained along with other political leaders and thousands of residents when the government cancelled occupied Kashmir’s constitutional semi-autonomy and imposed federal rule in 2019.

My sister in law is a Kashmiri Pandit. She can’t live in Kashmir and I know what her family went through too. However she didn’t whine or complaint: everyone in their family is super qualified and have very good careers.

Pakistan pushes UNSC for ‘just and lasting’ settlement of Kashmir dispute
Pakistan has urged the UN Security Council (UNSC) to fulfil its responsibility by ensuring the implementation of its own resolutions on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, according to a press release issued by the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the United Nations on Tuesday.
In August 2019, Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had revoked occupied Kashmir’s special status by repealing Article 370 of the Indian constitution. The country’s Supreme Court had upheld that order in December 2023.
Soon after the elections in November last year, the legislative assembly of IoK had called for the restoration of the region’s special status but Modi rejected that demand.
The two countries saw a heated exchange in January this year as the military strongly reacted to the Indian army chief calling Pakistan the “epicentre of terrorism”.
“It is the responsibility of this Council to ensure the realisation of that right for the Kashmiri people and promote a just and lasting settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, by taking measures to implement its own resolutions,” Special Assistant to the Prime Minister and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Tariq Fatemi was quoted by the Associated Press of Pakistan.
He made these remarks while speaking at the UNSC high-level open debate on the ‘Maintenance of International Peace and Security: Advancing Adaptability in UN Peace Operations — Responding to New Realities’.
Pakistan reminded that the Jammu and Kashmir dispute remains on the agenda of the UNSC and awaits a just and final settlement in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the Security Council that promised the Kashmiri people the right to self-determination through a UN-supervised plebiscite, the press release said.
It continued, “Pakistan emphasised that it was the responsibility of the Council to ensure the realisation of that right for the Kashmiri people and promote a just and lasting settlement of the dispute by taking measures to implement its own resolutions.
“Highlighting the importance of the UN peacekeeping operations as being cost-effective instruments to maintain international peace and security, he mentioned that the UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan, established in 1949, exemplified the observation and monitoring type of operations for inter-state conflicts.”
Fatemi was quoted as having said that originally conceived for inter-state conflicts, peacekeeping operations have since also been applied in intra-state conflicts and civil wars.
The special assistant to the prime minister mentioned Pakistan’s long association with UN peacekeeping operations in terms of being one of the longest-serving and leading troop contributors and a founding member of the Peacebuilding Commission.
He underscored that over the years, Pakistan has deployed 235,000 peacekeepers in 48 Missions across the globe.
The statement quoted him as saying: “[A total of] 181 Pakistani peacekeepers have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the service of international peace and security. More than 3,267 Pakistani men and women are proudly serving in blue helmets in 7 Missions today.”
Fatemi also highlighted the “new realities” and challenges facing peace operations today, which, he said, are being increasingly shaped by divergent objectives and priorities resulting from increased geo-political rivalries, lack of political will and insufficient allocation of resources.
He added that the proliferation of non-state actors, the changing nature of conflicts; and the weaponisation of new technologies and the information space were also challenges facing peace operations today.
The SAPM also shared Pakistan’s suggestions to make UN peacekeeping more dynamic and capable of responding to contemporary challenges:
-Stronger political commitment from UN Member States, particularly the Security Council, to prevent negative actors from exploiting power vacuums. -Clear, realistic, and situation-specific mandates for peacekeeping missions.
He said that Pakistan is closely engaged at the policy and conceptual level in responding to the evolution of UN Peacekeeping, adding that it will be hosting the UN Peacekeeping Ministerial preparatory meeting in Islamabad next month, whose outcomes would feed into the ongoing deliberations on the future of UN Peace Operations.
Earlier in the month, the FO had also rejected recent remarks made by India’s foreign minister on Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) as “baseless claims” while asking his country to vacate occupied areas of the region.

Kashmir is not India’s ‘integral part’, Pakistan tells UN
Pakistan has also brushed aside India’s claim of Jammu and Kashmir being its “integral part”, saying the disputed status of the Himalayan state is acknowledged by the UN and the international community, APP reported.
“Every official UN map depicts Jammu and Kashmir as a disputed territory,” Pakistani delegate Gul Qaiser Sarvani told the UN Security Council as its high-level discussion on UN peacekeeping operations came to an end.
Sarwani, who is a counsellor at the Pakistan Mission to the UN, was reacting to Indian Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish’s claim that “ Kashmir has been, is, and will always be an integral and inalienable part of India.“
The Indian ambassador made that claim in response to Fatemi, who made an earnest call on the 15-member Council to implement its own resolutions promising the Kashmiri people the right to self-determination through a UN-supervised plebiscite.
Exercising his right of reply, the Pakistani delegate said, “No amount of obfuscation can change the legal, political and historical reality — Jammu and Kashmir is not, and has never been a so-called ‘integral’ part of India.
“It is a disputed territory, whose ‘final disposition’ is to be decided by the people of Jammu and Kashmir through a UN-supervised plebiscite, as demanded by numerous resolutions of the Security Council.”
Pointing out that India holds Kashmir by brute force with over 900,000 troops and paramilitary forces, he said that India has killed over 100,000 innocent Kashmiris since 1989.
“It (India) has imposed the densest occupation in history, with one Indian soldier for every eight Kashmiri men, women and children,” the Pakistani delegate said, adding that the UN has duly recorded India’s gross violations of human rights in occupied territory.
With regards to the Indian envoy’s allegation of cross-border terrorism, Sarwani said, “It is most ironic that India, which is committing the worst form of state terrorism in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, is portraying itself as the victim,” adding, that this was a familiar ploy of all occupiers and colonisers to paint legitimate struggles for freedom and liberation as terrorism.
Instead of maligning others for terrorism, he added, India should sincerely reflect on its own campaign of orchestrating targeted assassinations, subversion and terrorism in foreign countries, he added.
“It is India which supports and finances terrorism against Pakistan through [the banned] Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and the Majeed Brigade.”

Same old song and dance. These people aren't even bored repeating it.
Pak should offer a referendum in Balochistan first and offer that as a role model followed by a referendum in POK and that will show their sincere intent . Why is the referendum in Balochistan not happening? Pak is pretty confident I am assuming, so why the delay?

Pakistan has no right to Kashyapamar given its ancient Hindu ties. Muslim majority in Kashyapamar is a relatively recent demographic shift following conversions (mostly forced) from the 14th century under rulers like Shah Mir
Bharat today is simply paying the price for its historical softness wrt combating Islamist terrorism. The terror insurgencies in 1990s displaced a million Kashmiri Pandits from the valley further skewing the already tampered demographics of the valley in the favour of Muslims. We are talking about 500-600 years of forced Islamizationof the valley compared to its 5000 years Hindu history. Kashyapamar is not Muslim and they can fool someone else.

This was because of the Cong gov and the nehru Indira dynasty. Nehru had the chance in 1948 to go all the way but he chickened out and like a kitten went running to the UN. And then Indira had a golden chance to settle the issue when Ind won the Ind Pak war( at a huge human cost) and it could have been done and seal it. But no, she signed some agreement for bilateral "negotiations " and led to prolonged issue for Ind until the Mod gov abrogated article 370.

There are people on this forum today who say Pakistan can walk away with POK and we don’t care. This is the result of decades of mental conditioning of the people of this country on giving up their rights to avoid a ‘fight’.
Be nice to minorities otherwise they will riot.
Be nice to Pakistan otherwise there will be wars.
The philosophy of going to war for our rights has never been taught to Hindus since independence.
The system isn’t even prepared what happens when 100 crore hindus of this country come violently to the streets today against quota, minority appeasement and all. They have taken it for granted it’s not a possibility.
Similarly wrt the territorial integrity of our nation, it’s taken for granted we are a passive nation which doesn’t attack but we are always going to be playing defense. This doctrine has to change.
Hindus must be ready to go to war on the streets and our nation must be ready to launch war to secure our territories. No more defensive passive peace loving Bharat. If it is war our enemies want, it is war they should get and plenty of it until they’ve had enough and the legs are up.
Many posters will intentionally ignore this post coming straight from horses mouth.

Its too simplistic a narrative with regards to 1971 war.
With regards to 1948, yes it was a mistake by Nehru to go to UN. Nehru was too lost in the glamour of being the successor of the respected culture. He thought people would just respect that. He got taught lessons and we lost the chance at permanent seat at UN SC and the 62 war. But for 71 war, India was basically alone with just Soviet Union supporting us.
The UN resolution against India in 1971 was 14-1, only the Soviets stood by us thanks to their veto. It was a comprehensive military win but geo-politics was not in our favor.

@jamie smith I really appreciate your honesty regarding Pakistan and India...and you are right here too to some extent. But let us all know who was Burhan Wani: A terrorist or freedom fighter..
Burhan Wani was alive until 2016 much before article 370 was revoked. At that time, the autonomy of Kashmir led to Pak sponsored terrorism. People like Burhan Wani were directly funded by ISI to keep the protest on. Basically the state of Pakistan have done nothing for Kashmiris, brainwashed and pushed its youth to pick up guns and kept them poor.
Now since 2019, Indian govt have removed autonomy of the state and invested lots of money for development and progress. Jammu and Kashmir is flourishing and so is its people. Pakistanis like yourself still want to remain in past and poke your nose in matters that doesn't concern you at all. Give it couple of more decades, more and more voices against Pakistan will come from Kashmir. By 2045, I strongly believe Kashmiris will hate Pakistanis same way that Afghans do. Lets be honest, at the end of the day everyone loves a good life, food, education over terrorism, guns and anarchy.
It is high time that the country of Pakistan with whatever shame left must forget about Kashmiris and focus on the development of its own country. The aim should be no longer a shinning light for the world to look at Pakistan in disgust.

The brute fact the hate Indian army more than anything else...can live in fantasies though
Even if they do, that is a problem for Indians (army and Kashmiris) to resolve na? The problem with Pakistanis is they think they are thekedaar of Islam and hence poke their nose in affairs of Kashmir, Palestine, Indian muslims etc etc. This is after they have been categorically asked to shut up by same people numerous times. This thekedaari is conditional though and never you will see they talking about Uyghur muslims. India under Modi has better relation with wider muslim/arab world than Pakistan. It is a fact

Ex-Hurriyat leader shuns separatism, declares loyalty to India
Declaring his unwavering allegiance to India and its constitution, ex Hurriyat Conference leader and Jammu and Kashmir People’s Movement (JKPM) chairperson Shahid Saleem on Tuesday announced that he was distancing himself and his organisation from the separatist ideologies.Saleem's recent declaration marks a significant break from his past associations with the divisive forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
"I, Shahid Saleem, Chairman JKPM, do hereby solemnly declare. My organization as well as I have no connection or affiliation with either APHC(G) or APHC (A) or any of their constituents or any other entity pursuing separatist or similar such agenda," Saleem wrote in his media note.
Saleem, in his communication, expressed his discontent with the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) as the organisation "has not been able to address the legitimate aspirations and grievances of the people of Jammu and Kashmir".
"My organization and I do not have any inclination or sympathy for the ideology of APHC, which has not been able to address the legitimate aspirations and grievances of people of Jammu and Kashmir," he said in the notice.
The JKPM leader also issued a legal warning against anyone who might attempt to associate his name or that of his organisation with the separatist factions.
Saleem warned that any use of his name or that of his organisation with the APHC of either of its factions or constituents or any other entity pursuing separatist or similar such agenda will be liable to legal action.
Amit Shah reacts
Union home minister Amit Shah on Tuesday hailed Shahid Saleem's decision to break away from separatism in Jammu and Kashmir, calling it a "significant victory" for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a peaceful and united India.The home minister announced that the Democratic Political Movement had also cut ties with separatism.
"Separatism has become history in Kashmir. The unifying policies of the Modi government have tossed separatism out of J&K. Two organizations associated with the Hurriyat have announced the severing of all ties with separatism," Shah expressed his views through his 'X' handle.

India slams Pakistan's repeated references at UN: Must vacate J&K territory
India on Tuesday hit back at Pakistan for once again bringing up the Jammu and Kashmir issue during a United Nations debate on peacekeeping reforms and asked the neighbouring country to vacate parts of the region it has "occupied illegally".
Addressing the UN Security Council, India's Permanent Representative, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, dismissed Pakistan's repeated reference to Jammu and Kashmir as 'unwarranted' and firmly reiterated that the region "was, is, and will always remain an integral part of India".
"India is compelled to note that the delegate of Pakistan has yet again resorted to unwarranted remarks on the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Such repeated references neither validate their illegal claims nor justify their state-sponsored cross-border terrorism," Harish said.
The Indian envoy reaffirmed the country's long-standing position on the matter, asserting that "Jammu and Kashmir was, is and will always be an integral part of India". He also highlighted that Pakistan continues to occupy parts of Jammu and Kashmir illegally and reiterated that it "must vacate" the territory.
"Pakistan continues to illegally occupy the territory of Jammu and Kashmir, which it must vacate. We would advise Pakistan not to try to divert the attention of this forum to drive their parochial and divisive agenda. India will refrain from exercising a more elaborate Right of Reply," he said.
Harish fired back after Special Assistant to the Pakistani Prime Minister, Syed Tariq Fatemi, raised the issue of Jammu and Kashmir during a Security Council debate on the future of UN peacekeeping.
Even last week, India rebuked Pakistan at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHR) meeting in Geneva, rejecting its allegations of human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir.
"India is exercising its right of reply in response to the baseless and malicious references made by Pakistan. It is regrettable to see Pakistan’s so-called leaders and delegates continuing to dutifully spread falsehoods handed down by its military-terrorist complex," Indian envoy Kshitij Tyagi said.
India has said that it wants normal, peaceful relations with Pakistan but has firmly stated that the responsibility lies with Islamabad to foster an atmosphere free of terrorism and hostility for any meaningful dialogue to take place between the two nations.

I feel PM Modi and his government is trying to really develop Kashmir, roads, Infrastructure, IT parks, tourism etc. Creating jobs and promoting tourism, will kill any narrative Pakistan resorts to, to cause violence in Kashmir using the muslim population there.
Once Indian Kashmir becomes a flourishing state it will natually make the ppl of POK want to revolt against Pakistan as their side of the land would be broke, dead going nowhere with the madarassa intellect.
Once the above is achieved Indian government can begin a seperatists movement which will ruin Pakistan for good, as handling the Balooch separatist on one side and a POK seperatists movement, will be too much for a country like Pakistan which pretty much has nothing going for it...

It will take a couple of decades and this insurgency will die out automatically. Kashmiris can see how bad siutation is in Pakistan and how Pakistani Punjabi army treats non-Punjabis in Pakistan. No rights are being denied and people are living, learning and growing gradually. The valley is gradually choosing the path of sanity.
Making sane inferences was never a Kashmiri speciality, nor is it the reason for recent peace there.
Bharat should continue to punish Islamic extremism in Kashmir like they have done successfully under Modi Ji and Amit Shah's leadership. Thats the only way for a terror free state.

I have always wanted our government to develop Kashmir in every way possible. My problem is I'll never have a soft corner for people who dislike my country. Everytime I feel for the Kashmiris, I recall they hate us. And that'll always act as a deterrent for me. We have done everything we can to help them develop, and yet all we get is hate from them.

Terrorism was allowed to flourish because of the corrupt state govts of Abdullah's and Muftis. 370 put a serious limitations on how Central govt could dictate the state govt. From my little experience, Kashmiri Muslims are less extremist compared to what we get in certain parts of UP.

We are all Kashyapamaris. It belongs to the whole nation just like every other state of our country does. I am a Punjabi and i can proudly say that Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Assam are as much mine as is Kashyapamar. By revoking the special status PM Modi has opened and connected Kashyapamar to the rest of the country/
Studied in Chandigarh and Delhi, my experience was total opposite and that's with a sizeable Kashmiri population in our campus. Sample size was big enough to generalize, and I take no joy in saying that.

I love how the Abdullah's and Muftis have toned down. Only a few noobs from Congress talk about reinstating 370. Almost everyone has accepted the reality and the inevitable future fully integrated with India and away from Pakistani interference.

I know the college kids you are talking about and I agree. Talking to them was wildly different than meeting people actually in Kashmir. and I think things have changed in the last 4 years. No more weekly pocket money to throw stones at the army has changed the mindsets.

It sure is. Assam belongs to every single Indian just as much as it belongs to us Assamese people.

My question is a bit off-topic bro.
Except for Assam, cricket is not the primary sport in the rest of the Northeast, right? I think Tripura has some following for cricket though.

1993 was the only time Pak was close to any Kashmiri cause but thanks to NRao, Vajpayee Iran ended up supporting India.

Under the Modi govt the spirit of unity rules J&K.
Another Hurriyat affiliate organization, Jammu and Kashmir Mass Movement, has rejected separatism, declaring complete commitment to the unity of Bharat. I sincerely welcome their move. Till now as many as 12 Hurriyat-linked organizations have broken off from secessionism, resting trust in the Constitution of India.
This is a victory of PM Shri @narendramodi Ji's vision for Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat.

Hate to say it, but the only positive to come off this incident is the concern shift of pakistanis away from palistin to kashmir instead.
Reckon no palistinis are talking about kashmir. Either then or now.

Kashmir Accession Day: PM links peace in South Asia to dispute’s resolution
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering support for the Kashmiri people's right to self-determination, stating that a peaceful resolution to the longstanding Kashmir dispute is essential for sustainable peace in South Asia.
In a statement marking Kashmir Accession Day - observed annually on July 19 - the prime minister paid tribute to the "historic decision" made by the people of Jammu and Kashmir in 1947, when they passed a resolution supporting the state's accession to Pakistan.
He lauded the “unprecedented sacrifices” made by generations of Kashmiris in their continued struggle for freedom and self-determination. “Despite the presence of over a million Indian occupation forces and decades of oppression, the spirit of the Kashmiri people remains unbroken,” the premier said.
PM Sharif noted that the current generation of Kashmiris has inherited the same courage and resolve that their elders demonstrated at the time of partition.
“Their struggle is a testament to their commitment to identity, independence and sovereignty,” he added.
The premier reiterated that a just and peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute, in line with the United Nations Security Council resolutions, is imperative for lasting peace in the region.
“The international community must fulfill its responsibility by ensuring that Kashmiris are granted their legitimate right to self-determination,” he said.
Referring to ongoing human rights violations in Indian Ilegaly Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), the prime minister criticised what he described as the "brutal policies" imposed by New Delhi and called for increased international attention to the plight of the Kashmiri people.
Pakistan observes July 19 to commemorate the resolution passed in 1947 by the then leadership of Jammu and Kashmir in favour of accession to Pakistan — a historical position Islamabad continues to uphold.

Pakistan could've annexed IOK during the recent conflict. India were on the back foot.
But, Pakistan didn't want to escalate I guess.

Our own Pakistani cricketers like Mohammed and hassan nawaz don’t realise the importance of this day while being paid to play in the national Mirpur stadium
The incompetence and mediocrity of our paid professionals magnifies our sheer neglect of our pride in our history

So nice of Pakistan not to do so. Instead, they'll go crying to the UN for the umpteenth time again in a few months.
