'KHILAFAH' : The Ummah cries

"The issue is not to remove the individual tyrants like Ben Ali, Hosni Mubarak, King Abdullah, Asif Ali Zardari or any of the other Muslim rulers while the very system that they govern remains alive and well. It is rather the man made systems that they govern; the very system that produces such tyrants. For the past 90 years, the Ummah has tasted the bitter fruits of nationalism, communism, democracy and dictatorship. Now it yearns for the sweetness of Islam."Hizb ut-Tahrir (America) comments on the  Egyptian intifada 

The world has witnessed an eruption of unparalled magnitude in the Muslim world over the past two weeks. Muslims the world over from Pakistan, to Tunisia, to Egypt, Yemen, Palestine, Jordan and even Albania have showed their utter mistrust and disapproval of the tyrant rulers imposed upon them. The demonstrators have shown great courage inspired by the Muslims of Tunisia. These demonstrations have erupted from the frustrated hearts of the Ummah and are a sincere display of the Islamic sentiment. Indeed, the videos from Cairo are riveting, with masses of Muslims flowing from the masajid after Friday prayer and overwhelming security forces. As a clear sign of the goodness of the Ummah, the world is witnessing the riot police allowing the Muslims to perform the Isha prayers in the streets; an indication that the very security forces that repress the Ummah are the same ones who will protect and defend it when its Islamic sentiment is evoked.

Do UN resolutions have no takers in Kashmir?

By: Er. Maqsood Ahmad Shahdad

This refers to a news item “UN resolutions have few takers in JK: interlocutors.” This is an eye opener for Kashmiris in general and the leaders of the present movement in particular. This statement is indicative of the mindset and the motive of the interlocutors and their sponsors: Government of India. They appear to be working strictly in accordance with the instructions of New Delhi by issuing a few favourable statements to cool down the tempers and subsequently pursue their agenda of diverting the people from supporting the movement. The only thing GoI has been serious and fast about was appointing two high powered committees for Jammu and Ladakh province to look into their grievances regarding development. They give an impression that as if more than 100 innocent and unarmed young Kashmiris had laid down their lives for the development of Ladakh and Jammu. The interlocutors are talking about improvement in Governance and Development and ensuring some basic rights to the people as if these are the issues for which Kashmiris have been fighting for the last 63 years. The irony is that every agency in India or Kashmir and the interlocutors and political parties are talking about measures to be taken to bring peace back to Kashmir and no one is talking about the political resolution of Kashmir issue. Some leaders or parties talk about the resolution within the parameters of the Indian constitution which is not what people want. They should know that even if peace returns to Kashmir for some time, it would be temporary and should not be construed anything else.  It is not known how the interlocutor’s arrived at the conclusion that people of Kashmir are not in favour of settlement of Kashmir problem in accordance with the UN Resolutions. If they want to ascertain truth, let them hold a referendum.

BLACK DAY FOR KASHMIR!!!

By: Irfan Kashmiri

A pal of gloom and desolation is evident on the faces of people of IHK every year on the eve of India’s Republic or Independence Day. There is an unusual and manifold increase in the number of troops on such days. Police personnel gear-up for surprise frisking and checking of people and households across the Kashmir Valley in the name of so-called security ahead of India’s Republic Day, celebrated every year on26 Jan. Dozens of checkpoints are also erected in many areas of valley mostly in Srinagar wherein the pedestrians and the vehicles are being subjected to unnecessary thorough checks resulting in wastage of time of common man. This is what is expected of a brutal imperialist regime: terrorize and create a sense of fear among the innocent people so as to suppress every such voice which demands right to live as a free nation. How long will this bloodshed continue? Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and world over observe India's Republic Day as Black Day, to attract world attention to the urgent need of addressing the Kashmir dispute in accordance with Kashmiris' aspirations and UN plebiscite. Can we do it this year???

"I wish that people of india ask BJP (who are all time ranters of Atoot Ang) why they need to hoist indian flag in Territory of Kashmir..??
It clearly seems that they are themselves not sure of integral part theory..!! Thats why they need 50,000 indians in addition to 900,000 indian troops to hoist a flag..!!"

By: Mehdi Siddique

"Can a kashmiri forget the brutal death of nearly One lakh Kashmiris, the molestation of over nine thousand kashmiri women, the orphanage of over 100 thousand Kashmiri children and the tears of countless Kashmiri widows? If No, then the spirit of Azadi can never die. It is this spirit which encourages a common kashmiri to face bullets without any weapon, and it is this spirit which challenges the might of ‘mighty’ India and it is this spirit that will lead Kashmir to its Azadi. The ideology which bravely declares ‘Kashmir belongs to Kashmiris’ can’t be suppressed ‘by any means’. India has failed to integrate Kashmir from past 63 years with itself, and today when it is deemed to be the future ‘Superpower’, it is failing itself again."
