@Monk let us know your arguments. Yes, I may be wrong because all I know is from is from Indian newspaper The Hindu and some other current affairs websites like southasiaanalysis, I don't read Pakistani newspaper may be you know something else. Please let me know.
@Jolie you raised a very moot issue- an UN investigation agency. Both countries accuses each other of violation of cease fire. I think their should be an unbiased investigation agency, I support this. We should think on each and every aspect. How could this be fruitful. What will it do, how can this will save lives from both the sides. Let me tell you what is other view that is opposite to my openion about investigation team
The other view is - this UN team probably recomment reduction of force from fronts which will be a boon for infiltrators and terrorist neverthless to mention kargil infiltration. Second, this investigation will show how many time which country initiated ceasefire violation, the positive point here is this would exert a moral pressure on both the countries to avoid firings but there would be no binding, who guarantees that violations will not happen, suppose the report says feequency of violation is more from x country then y country will always say that recent violation is from x side, we were just countering it. UN has a history to avoid Indo-Pak issu. Third, crediblity of UN teamThis institution always says resolve
issue bilaterally. JL Nehru took kashmir issue to UN and that is still pending. The island nation Maldives rejected it's suggestions and recommendations. Please anyone tell me role of UN in a syria crises. I support an unbiased investigation team because it will exert a deplomatic pressure on both the countries and this will save many innocent lives.
I was discussing investigation team issue, I quoted this to say that UN wants Pakistan and India to solve all issues on their own. Clarify what you want to discuss in "Nehru put kashmir issue in UN" ? I don't know every bit of this specific happening but I would like to study it in detail. This will for sure enhance my knowledge of history.
@Jolie as you said Pakistan has many other problems than to concentrate on borders, India too has, insurgency in northeast, naxalism, poverty, many dies of malnutrition, sex ratio, hindutva extremism, unemployment etc. You rightly said that governments face problems in tackling these issues when it has to devote significant amount of money in defence sector. I don't think abusing Army is good. They are the people who at times sacrifice their life for your security.
In India also people abuse Army for fake encounters in kashmir for promotion and prize money, there are reports of rape by Armymen in northeast. But I think Army as an institution and as a whole should not be targetted.
Read an article in todays The Hindu perspective page "Civil hands must soothe uncivil tempers" I recently read about another similar article on countercurrents website about role of civil societies in Indo-Pak relations.
@Monk I am not in position to say anything. I can't imagine if I say LOAC should be made permanent boundry and both countries should not claim disputed land, should not say/demand anything about J&K as well as POK or Azad kashmir, what will be implications. I am not an specialist, I can't imagine what will happen. So I have no views on this imaginary condition.
Actually I am feeling regret to include controversial things while expressing my views. My focus should be discussing issues while keeping in mind that it won't generate a thing that is highly controversial and if it hurts anybody for no good reason then my discussion is meaningless.
Dawn is actually quite an incompetent and a highly agenda ridden paper, (and I can assure you that they have no such policy of not taking foreign government's aid)! I didn't realise that many people don't really cross check their news, and papers are Dawn are their only source of news from Pakistan. I am genuinely appalled how some "journalists" in Pakistan are giving a such negative and sinister twist to most basic policy adherence by Edhi Foundation. Height of ignorance. Pathetic on all levels.
The onus is on us to correct this stupid misconception - especially when it comes to our highly loved and respected Edhi Sahab.
Forget india, I remember reading that Edhi even returned money that President Zia sent to him in the eighties.
