Washington: With the recent face off between India and Pakistan in the UN and several videos of protest demonstrations erupting in the social media against Pakistan, people are raising doubts on Pakistan's audacity to put Kashmir in negotiation when it can't even care of a huge chunk of its own population, primarily responsible for its formation.
“Shocking...completely shocking. I have no words for this,“ exclaimed Marvi Memon, a ruling party lawmaker in Pakistan after watching clips of the protests outside UN. “Azadi has been attained in 1947. If they have issues they should negotiate with the government of Pakistan...the blood of every Pakistani will be boiling at this.”
The videos of demonstrations show hundreds of protestors chanting “Azadi”, a rallying cry for several separatist Kashmiris in J & K. US wing of the Pakistan's mainstream Mohajir Quami Movement, which organised the demonstrations, openly acknowledged its role and the rallying cry in a statement, saying, “While PM Nawaz Sharif was addressing the UN General Assembly , raising the Kashmir issues and atrocities of Indian state in Kashmir, MQM USA chapter was protesting against state terrorism on 50 million Mohajirs in Pakistan.” Mohajirs is a term used for Muslim refugees from India who migrated to Pakistan after seeking a separate homeland.
Meanwhile, Baloch dissidents have also stepped up their lobbying for a separate state in Washington, London, and New Delhi. The exiles have begun to call attention towards the situation of their countrymen.
