Its very surprising fact that what made maqbool bhat form JKLF in 1977???what was the motive behind it .There was no oppression of any kind on Kashmiris at that time.In any case with the kind of crimes committed by him(murdering an intelligence officer,bank manager and planning kidnaping of a diplomat) are unpardonable under any constitution in world.

The biggest blunder the founding leaders of India committed was to give special status to Kashmir. if Kashmir was like any other part of India were any Indian could buy land and settle in Kashmir , it would have become a cosmopolitan state and it citizen would have made India proud by now, instead of having to loose so many bright and brave young soldiers in this unnecessary war and also loosing billions of dollars which India should have been using to improve the overall infrastructure.

perusal of all commits leads this debate nowhere ..we have to recognize the difference of opinions but we have to adhere to universally accepted values.so for kashmir issue and its ramifications are concerned ,it is to be recognized by all concerned as a political issue and its solution by political means.i personally feel THIMPU thaw is a welcome thing and a forward moment is needed…..

Haleem and Shug,

Aren’t we going around in circles here? I have told you and given you my reasons why I don’t respect someone. In return we are back to the same story, Bhagat Singh, Respect our leader, old freedom fighter – terrorist debate. I may see your point of view but you dont see mine? Same old argument, different names maybe perhaps even different people!

Why don’t you give a reply to my reasons and tell me why I should respect that person. Just because some consider someone a leader does that mean that everyone else must respect that same person? George Bush, was the most powerful leader on earth, how many respected him? I wonder if you respect LK Advani even though millions of other people do? You have your reasons and I may even probably agree with them! I am sure there are some people who look upto Kasab too. Does that mean the rest of us must also respect him? I could go on and on…..

As for returning his body, I have already said that I see no problem other than the fact that again some ‘leaders’ will use it to generate more trouble. But why must I be forced to respect someone that some others respect? Specially when I have given my reasons and there is no comment on them.

I also do not see people coming out in the streets with contracted stones and pelting them at the security forces day in and day out as peaceful. More so when we hear telephone intercepts of ‘leaders’ berating the instigators for not doing enough, more people should be hurt and what are they receiving money for? Of course you will say this is all propaganda, like everything else that you do not agree with. You are welcome to do so.

> I hope they understand that J & K is much more than the valley and that the people of Leh and Jammu will oppose their being taken for granted and their call for independence.

Minor correction: Ladakh and Jammu. Leh is the capital of Ladakh.
(Ganesh Prasad)

Ladakh itself enjoys autonomy within J&K, forget about india.
70% of the area of jammu province observe shutdown as solidarity with kashmiris. I fail to understand what you mean. i think you are talking about 10% of geographical area of j&K.
but it is indian democracy that has taught me that even if you boycot elections, and only 8% votes are cast, indian democracy still elects members to its assembly.

Maqbool Butt’s Quote For us, Azadi (independence) means not just getting rid of foreign occupation of our beloved motherland but also to remove hunger, poverty, ignorance and disease and to overcome economic and social deprivation. One day, we shall achieve that Azadi “

@K P Singh, dear singh, we did adopt Gandhian way, since last three years we have been protesting peacefuly againt aoccupation but o one listens because this part of world is without oil and rich minerals. The best thing indians can do is to respectfully return the remains of our belved leader, we do expect this in near future because this land belongs to Gandhiji not Modi ji or Daraji.

@Daraindia, plz dont abuse our leader, your security forces have abused us for the pastsix decades and now so called unarmed indian citozens have started absuing our leaders. We respect baghat singh ji, because he was your leader though he was a murderer. If you wannt respect and diginity, Daraindia give it to others first.
