NEW DELHI: Libyan strongman Muammar Qadhafi has told Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that his crackdown against his opponents in Libya were akin to India’s actions against Kashmiris, Times of India reported on Saturday
It said that last week, on the eve of the UN Security Council debate and vote against Libya on February 26, Col. Qadhafi, in a missive to Dr Singh, asked for India’s support for his actions as civil war broke out in Libya.
“The request for support came even as African and European countries, including Libya’s UN envoy who defected to the rebels, made an impassioned plea in the Security Council to refer Qadhafi to the International Criminal Court,” the paper said. India voted for the UNSC resolution, which was passed unanimously.
Col. Qadhafi has reportedly used warplanes to strafe his own people who are fighting to free Libya from the strongman’s four decades of control. India has largely desisted from using air power to combat the rebels in Kashmir although it has used planes and helicopters to fight them elsewhere. According to some estimates, over 6,000 people have died in the Libyan fighting, a fraction of the Kashmiri casualty effected at the hands of Indian forces and Muslim extremists.
Col. Qadhafi “has rarely been a person India has been comfortable with,” the Times of India said. “In September 2009, (Qadhafi), in a 100-minute speech at the UN General Assembly, railed against India and Kashmir as well. Kashmir should be an independent state, not Indian, not Pakistani. We should end this conflict. It should be a Ba’athist state between India and Pakistan,” he said.
Re: Mr.Qadhafi makes his crackdown in comparison with Kashmir..
ain't he right?
he is showing mirror to the so-called global leaders who are busy condemning him and on the same note are busy doing the same in their own countries... he is doing no different, India is busy killing people of Kashmir and other regions and Qadafi is killing his own people.. all the killings in the name of state... how can Indian or American killing can be justified by Libyan can't???
Re: Mr.Qadhafi makes his crackdown in comparison with Kashmir..
Just because you are a democracy does not mean you can kill thousands of people and keep them in a forced occupation environment.,
we don't, it is just some of you guys fomenting trouble and then crying to get attention when zapped. Well anyways, those days are gone - all that has come to roost at home in Pakistan.
Re: Mr.Qadhafi makes his crackdown in comparison with Kashmir..
From we will fight to the last bullet, to bin laden and Al Qaeda sponsored riots, and to top it off with his last comments in an interview with Christian Amanpour “My people love me, All my people love me” sheesh this guy is a serious actor
He lost any credibility, if there was any from the masses including the West, ME countries. Now its a matter of time before he goes under the bus.

Actually yes you do. Unless you fail to read news of Kashmiri's dying last summer to Indian forces when they demanded freedom and basic rights enjoyed in the rest of the Indian democracy.

Qadaffi hasn't been a friend of Pakistan since his socialist friend PM left power after the seventies. I have heard that he supported the infamous hathora group in the eighties, but we do for a fact it was his cowardly squealing that led to the AQ Khan saga. He looks retarded and his son looks like a bespectacled lex luthor. Since the west is openly not promoting a no-fly zone so this could go either way as even western logistical and weapon reinforcements won't work without a tough no-fly zone.
