Had the Indian Army not landed here, there would have been no Kashmir Issue :: Nayeem


JK National Front Chairman Nayeem Ahmad Khan today said, “Had Indian Army not landed in Kashmir sixty eight years back, there would have been no tension on the borders and there would have been no bloody lines at all dividing peaceful Kashmiris.”

Nayeem in a statement issued today said the landing of Indian Army in Jammu Kashmir created an uncertainty in the whole South Asian region which has claimed “hundreds of thousands of lives so far.” 

“The people are living miserable lives not only in the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir but in the whole region. India which claims to be the largest democracy in the world is identified as an oppressor in Jammu Kashmir and its so called democratic face has visible stains of blood of Kashmiris,” Nayeem Khan said.

He added, if India is sincere to “live peacefully” with its neighbors then it has to fulfill its promises made with the people of Jammu Kashmir by its leaders on the local and international levels.

“It is unfortunate that India is using oppressive measures against Kashmiris and for this purpose it is using its local collaborators whose activities are aimed at fulfilling the Indian goals,” Khan said, adding, “The latest shameful act of these collaborators is the use of forces against peaceful Kashmiris and arrest spree which they have started in nook and corner of the valley.”

Nayeem Khan said that India is busy using “oppressive measures” in Jammu Kashmir from round about seven decades now that is why the people of the State observe October 27, as a black day, the date Army landed in Kashmir . 

He in his statement supported the shutdown call given by Hurriyat Conference for 27 October.

Referring to the latest statements of Indian leaders, Nayeem Ahmad Khan said, “Jammu and Kashmir is not a part of India, but an internationally accepted dispute so New Delhi must shun its illogic stand and policy so that not only 1.30 crore people of J&K but the people living in the whole region can live with peace and prosperity.”

Khan has expressed deep sorrow and grief over the demise of the daughter of Imam of Jamia Masjid Srinagar.

Explained: What is Army Aviation Corps, the youngest Corps of the Indian Army

A look at the Army Aviation Corps’ history and its relevance in modern day battlefields, including in Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI-CT) operations. Representative Image The Army Aviation Corps (AAC), the youngest Corps of the Indian Army, celebrated its 35th Corps Day on November 1. We take a look at the arm that adds an air dimension to the Army’s capabilities, its history, and its relevance in modern day battlefields, including Counter Insurgency and Counter Terrorism (CI-CT) operations. The roots of Army Aviation Corps The origin of the AAC can be traced back to the raising of the Army Aviation wing of the Royal Air Force in India in 1942, and the subsequent formation of the first Indian Air Observation Post in August 1947. The Air Observation Post units primarily acted as artillery spotters – which are the elements that help the artillery in directing the fire and also giving air support to ground forces. In the wars of 1965 and 1971, the Air Observation Post helicop...

That time when India took half of Pakistan to make it pay for a motorcycle

In 1947, British officer Yahya Khan offered his colleague 1,000 rupees for his spiffy red motorcycle. His colleague, Sam Manekshaw, agreed. But before Khan could pay, he was off to what was going to become Pakistan. The British split its Indian colony, and things on the subcontinent have been pretty tense ever since. To top it all off, Yahya Khan didn't pay for the motorbike. But he would, even if it took almost 25 years. The Partition of India was much more than the splitting of the British Raj into two independent states. It was a catastrophic split that tore apart the country and created millions of refugees, cost millions of lives, and split the armed forces of the country in two, all based on religion. Violence erupted almost immediately between the two groups on such a large scale that much of it has never been forgotten or forgiven. Animosity continued between both sides for decades, and the two have fought war after war because of the myriad issues left unaddressed. By 1970...
