Opinion: Pakistan-occupied Kashmir Calls Narendra Modi for Help

News 18  

A video has gone viral on social media. In this particular video, a Kashmiri by the name of Malik Waseem from Kupwara in Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and currently living in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir can be seen begging Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to rescue him and his family from the ‘zulm’ they face at the hands of the PoJK government. Influential people are now allegedly bribing the local government officials who deal with real estate to change the ownership of these properties to middlemen from whom they can then buy the property. However by then, the Pakistan army had already occupied large swathes of the state and only after a bitter and prolonged war did we manage to regain what is today known as the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Although it was not until the BJP government of Narendra Modi came into power in 2014 that India started to act on a comprehensive policy to counter Jihadi terrorism in the Valley, it still needs to pay enough attention to resolving the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan.
