Pakistan 'will go to any lengths' to support occupied Kashmir's cause, PM Imran tells nation
2019-08-27
[DAWN] Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
on Monday took the nation into confidence on the government's strategy regarding Indian-Indian Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
e through a national address, vowing that Pakistain "will go to any lengths" to support the cause of the oppressed Kashmiri people.
"Squirrel!"
The premier started his address by saying that he wanted to share with the public the government's policy and stance in view of the existing situation in occupied Kashmir, whose special autonomy was revoked by the Indian government earlier this month. He said the time had come for Pakistain's Kashmir policy to take a "decisive" turn.

"When my government came into power, my first priority was to generate peace in the country. India and we share many problems; unemployment, inflation and climate change, etc.

"So we wanted to be friends with everyone [...] From the start of our term, we made many overtures for dialogue [to India] but there were always some problems. They (India) would look for opportunities to accuse Pakistain of terrorism," the prime minister said.

"First they had elections coming up, so we waited for that to be over, we thought when elections would be over, the situation will be different. Then Pulwama happened; a Kashmiri man went kaboom!.

"India, instead of introspecting, pointed fingers at us. After the elections, we saw that they tried their best to bankrupt Pakistain and tried to have Pakistain 'blacklisted' at FATF (Financial Action Task Force).
