Kashmiri women and children are playing a consequential part in the latest episode of insurgency in Kashmir. They are pelting stones on the occupant forces and shouting for freedoms. Neither children nor women seem afraid of Indian forces, whose members deliberately fire live bullets at the heads and chests of the protesters.
Yousuf Raza Geelani, the prime minister of Pakistan, has urged Pakistani media, which is already ignoring its responsibilities over reporting the sanguineous events in occupied Kashmir, to report on Kashmir carefully. The moment I read his latest piece of wisdom, I am thinking about the possible meanings of "careful reporting". Does it mean any thing else than that Pakistani newspapers and television channels should deliberately overlook their responsibilities and do not inform what is happening in Kashmir!
The Prime Minister of Pakistan must not forget that 32 thousand women lost their husbands to be the citizens of a free and independent Kashmir. He must aslo remember more than 100,000 children became orphan because their fathers wished to live with Pakistan. Some one must tell him that Qaid-e-Azam, father of the nation, told us that Kashmir is the vulgar vein of Pakistan.
It is the time to realize that Kashmir, which was once sold out by British to a Sikh ruler, is about to turn over a new page of its history. Pakistani administration, politicians and media outlets must come forward with their diplomatic, moral and ethical assist. Otherwise, history and Kashmiris will never forgive us for our coward role at this decisive moment.
