Pakistan is increasingly obsessed with ‘Khalistan’. That’s a word I thought we had long buried. But the useful fools promoting it are indeed useful for Pakistan. They have made allies with Pakistan and tried to connect it with Kashmir. Just as we discovered the supporters of ‘free’ Kashmir were State sponsored terrorists, so too are the supporters of Khalistan – they are useful idiots at best for Pakistan and at worst State sponsored terrorists.
Do not be fooled by dotty old uncles on Parliament Green whilst their younger relatives take down the flag of India and burn it. This the modern useful idiot and their criminal friends. Criminal damage, incitement to racial hatred and I bet you, if we dig a little deeper into their sources of funding and friends – a little deeper into social media – incitement to violence and religious hatred too. Criminals.
So we continue pressuring the police to prosecute. They think it’s a bunch of ethnic rag heads bringing their Asian disputes to Britain. They thought that with Islamic fundamentalism too until 7/7. Maybe the police are being politically correct? Didn’t help with ISIS. ‘Free’ Kashmir and Khalistan supporters are both the same: useful idiots and bedfellows with terrorists sponsored by a State – Pakistan. One of the other – which is it?
UN Security Council Resolution 47 – of 1948 – concerning Kashmir is a Chapter 6 Resolution – therefore without mandatory enforceability and non-binding. So when it required that Pakistan ‘withdraw all nationals who entered the region’, it could be safely ignored by the Pakistanis. Let me say that again, Pakistan ‘withdraw all nationals’.
India’s error was not that it filed the dispute in the UN, as is commonly thought, after all it sought to be a leading light in the world – this was a nation in which Gandhiji still lived – but that it filed it under Chapter 6 – which simply does not require any mandatory enforcement.
If ever you want to know whether the West is going to War – just ask if it is seeking a Chapter 7 UN Security Council Resolution. Iraq II, was the same in 2003. UN Security Council Resolution 1441 of 1992 was also a Chapter 7, peace and security, Resolution demanding ‘a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations’. It was the breach of this, incidentally, WMD, or not, had nevertheless occurred and military force was legally warranted under the Resolution (and that is the response to all those who say it was an illegal war, or ask why did we go to war). All 15 Security Council members voted in favour of this Resolution – including China and Russia and Syria.
