Elections in Pakistan were a slap in the face for Pakistan
It can now be said that the root cause of trouble for both India and Pakistan has finally been crossed. All along Pakistan had disputed that the Kashmir valley was their territory and that the people of Kashmir had sworn allegiance to them. Both countries have fought 2 wars to prove their point. Pakistan was still continuing the destabilization by providing support to the so called separitists in Kashmir. India has lost billions in economy loss , not to speak of lives lost all through the years. But the most recent elections in Kashmir have put all Pakistan’s nefarius plans to rest. Imagine an election that runs for 2 months and seven phases without an incident of violence and coercion? The people of Kashmir have emphatically said that they want to remain part of mainstream India. This is why they ignored all calls for boycotting elections and came in such large numbers to vote. One idiot in Pakistan was invited to talk on Indian television. I believe he was Mujahid Hussein, a high official in the Pakistani foreign services. He had the audacity to coin the term “Indian occupation of Kashmir.” When you have educated responsible people to talk like this you don’t need terrorists to whip up anti-indian passions. What a sad truth.
Long live the Indians….
