If India is not committing vast human rights abuses then why it is not letting international human rights agencies to visit Kashmir? Are they likely to find mass graves of murdered people like what we are seeing in Gujrat today?
because they don’t want the world to mind their dirty business. they want to stick their dirty nose in everyone’s affairs but they don’t want the world to find out what’s going on in their own backyard. you know, they’re democracy of war criminals. they can do that, and then go :crying: about other people’s affairs.
bhai, I want to provide some info about the chemical weapon use, by India, in Kashmir...... the Air Attack is a very very small thing...... read this....
*INDIA IS USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN KASHMIR; U.S. SHOULD STOP ITS PRO-INDIA TILT *
HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS
In the US House of Representatives
THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1999 [Congressional Record, Page: E1317]
*Mr. Speaker, I was disturbed to find out that India has been using chemical weapons in its war against the freedom fighters of Kashmir. Reuters, CNN, the BBC, the Associated Press, and others have all reported that India fired chemical weapons shells into Pakistan. Remember that India's nuclear tests last year started the nuclear arms race in South Asia, which is very destabilizing to our ally Pakistan, to India , the subcontinent, and the world. *
In recent days, there have been news reports of a mass exodus from border villages in Punjab, the homeland of the Sikhs. According to at least one report, 70 percent of the population of these villages has fled. These Sikhs are apparently afraid that India's war on the freedom fighters will spread to Punjab. There are good reasons to believe this. India sent a new deployment of troops to Punjab, Khalistan. These troops are on top of the half-million troops who were already stationed in Punjab to suppress the Sikh freedom movement.
Mr. Speaker, this situation is entirely India's responsibility. India that started the conflict in Kargil to wipe out the freedom movement in Kashmir and scare the other freedom movements into submitting to Indian rule. India introduced nuclear weapons to South Asia last year and introduced chemical weapons into this conflict. These are weapons of mass destruction, Mr. Speaker. Indian has brought these weapons of mass destruction to South Asia. Why do we still give aid from American tax dollars to India ?
Recently an Indian colonel admitted that Indian soldiers are `dying like dogs.' India is losing this war in Kargil, while it loudly proclaims victory. As India's desperation increases, the situations gets more dangerous. It is feared that India will use its new deployment in Punjab, Khalistan to invade Pakistan in an attempt to cut off the Kashmiris' supply lines.
Mr. Speaker, we all salute the President for his attempt to keep the fighting from escalating, but there seems to be a pro-India tilt to our effort and to our policy in the region. Yet India denies self-determination and other basic human rights to the Kashmiris, the Sikhs of Khalistan, the Christians of Nagaland, and the other occupied nations of South Asia. When basic human rights are denied, we have an obligation to help people reclaim their rights. We should be working for peace, freedom, and self-determination. We should not be aligned with India , which remains one of the world's worst human-rights violators.
Let this Congress do whatever we can to support democracy, self-determination, peace, and stability in the subcontinent. We should impose sanctions on India , cut off American aid to India , and pass a resolution stating our support for a free and fair plebiscite under international supervision in Punjab, Khalistan, in Kashmir, in Nagaland, and everywhere else that the people seek their freedom.
I am proud to have co-sponsored such a resolution in the last Congress. This is the right time to take these measures when they will have the greatest effect. Let us take these measures to support freedom. Mr. Speaker, I would like to insert the Council of Khalistan's press release on India's chemical weapons use into the Record.

India is a pretty weak state then, and the ISI has even more sway of people across thousands of miles of India territory stretching all the way to Myanmar. God bless the ISI. :k:
