Tensions are rising palpably between Pakistan and India, with
anti-India protests across Pakistan on Wednesday, protesting the
ongoing violence in the Indian-governed Kashmir.
Violent clashes in Kashmir began on July 9, following the death on
July 8 of Burhan Wani, 22, a 22-year-old commander in the separatist
militia Hizbul Mujahideen (HM). Some 50 Kashmiris were killed and
over 1,900 injured. About 600 were blinded for life, having been shot
by the security forces with "non-lethal" pellet guns. After 12 days,
Kashmir is paralyzed and the streets are deserted, as police and
paramilitary soldiers in riot gear continue to enforce a strict
curfew.
Separatist sentiment continued to grow in Kashmir. On Wednesday,
residents hoisted dozens of black and Pakistan flags to observe a
"black day" to protest the killing Wani. Indian security forces,
fearing a further uprising, removed the flags.
As I described in detail in "14-Jul-16 World View -- Police clashes in India-governed Kashmir kill 36 and leaves thousands injured"
, Pakistan and
India, including Kashmir, are deep into a generational Crisis era.
The last generational crisis war was Partition, the 1947 war that
followed the partitioning of the Indian subcontinent into India and
Pakistan, one of bloodiest wars of the 20th century. In the past,
with survivors of that war still alive and still in power, no one
wanted to see a repeat of the bloody 1947 war. But today, those
survivors are almost gone, and the younger generations, with only
limited, partial information about the horrors that occurred in that
war, are headed for a repeat of the 1947 war.
Pakistan's prime minister Nawaz Sharif said:
[indent]<QUOTE>"Today we are observing Black Day to express
solidarity with Kashmiris and are giving a strong message to the
world that Pakistanis are with them (Kashmiris) for their struggle
to get their rights.
India cannot suppress the voice of Kashmiris through force as they
will eventually get freedom. The UN has declared Kashmir a
disputed territory and India should hold plebiscite to respect the
rights of Kashmiris. Terming Kashmir issue internal matter of
India is not justifiable."<END QUOTE>[/indent]
Many Indian officials believe that Pakistan is funding and supporting
terrorism in Kashmir, which would not be surprising since India and
Pakistan have found three wars over Kashmir.
On Wednesday, India's Minister of State for External Affairs MJ Akbar
[indent]<QUOTE>"India will be able to handle the situation but
Pakistan will not be able to do that. You are committing
suicide... We are saying this as a good neighbor. [It is] time
to open your eyes. ...
When (Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan) Wani got killed,
Pakistanis are observing 'black day' and they think we will accept
it silently. We will not do that."<END QUOTE>[/indent]
Akbar pointed out that when Pakistan suffered a major terror attack
killing dozens of children in a school in Peshawar, Indians did not
cheer the way that Pakistanis are cheering today. Press TV (Iran) and Saudi (Arabia) Journal and New Indian Express

**** Mastermind of 2008 Mumbai attack leads Pakistan protests against India
****
Tens of thousands of demonstrators in cities across Pakistan --
Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Multan, and others -- took to the streets
on Wednesday to protest against the ongoing violence in the
Indian-governed Kashmir.
The leader of the protests in Lahore was Hafiz Saeed, leader of the
terror group Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) at the time that LeT attack
conducted the horrific '26/11' terrorist attack on Mumbai
in November 2008, lead the public
protests against India in Kashmir on Wednesday. Saeed is designated a
terrorist by the U.S. government with a $10 million bounty on his
head.
On Wednesday, Saeed said that Burhan Wani was a freedom fighter, and
said his death would strengthen the jihad in Kashmir. Indian
officials are furious that Pakistan has refused to prosecute Saeed.
