‘WikiLeaks vindicated our stance about HR abuses in IHK’
Hurriyet leaders and civil rights groups have said that the revelations by WikiLeaks about torture of detainees in Jammu and Kashmir has vindicated their assertions about the gross human rights violations being perpetrated by Indian police and troops in the territory.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a media interview in Srinagar said that WikiLeaks had vindicated their stand about the systematic torture prevalent in the jails of occupied Kashmir.
“We have been telling the world for past 21 years about gross rights violations in the territory. This information provided by International Committee of Red Cross to the US embassy is only about the official jails, but there are hundreds of unofficial jails and underground torture cells here where civilians are subjected to third degree torture,” he added. The Mirwaiz said that it was unfortunate that the US, which portrayed itself as champion of democracy and civil rights, had maintained intentional silence over the issue.
Syed Ali Gilani in an interview said that there was nothing new in the revelations of WikiLeaks, as the Indian forces had been resorting to inhuman and brutal torture to crush the sentiments of the Kashmiri people for past over 21 years. “Thousands of civilians have been killed by Indian troops by subjecting them to torture, but world is behaving as mute spectator to the atrocities perpetrated on the people,” he said, adding that he himself was subjected to third degree torture in jails in and outside the occupied territory.
Khurram Parvez, said that it was a testing time for Indian civil society whether it would sit silent or come on streets to put an end to torture and torture chambers in occupied Kashmir. “The revelation by a credible and independent agency is a challenge to the conscience of Indian civil society,”
America cannot impose solution on Kashmir
American President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States could not impose a solution on Kashmir or other issues in the volatile India-Pakistan relationship (Interesting, even he is president of super power who think they have solution of all world problems).
"I believe both Pakistan and India have an interest in reducing tensions between the two countries," Obama said when asked about the Kashmir dispute at a press conference after he met Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Gilani addressing a seminar in Delhi
Syed Ali Gilani addressing a seminar in New Delhi organised by the Committee for Release of Political Prisoners said, “All previous dialogue processes with India have failed without solving the issue as New Delhi didn’t want to find out amicable solution to the Kashmir dispute.”
He reiterated that the Kashmir dispute could be resolved only through right to self-determination and the people of Jammu and Kashmir should be given a chance to determine their fate. He said that Kashmir was not an internal dispute but an international one and added the interlocutors should be boycotted. He informed the audience that Kashmiri youth were being targeted by Indian police and paramilitary forces during the peaceful protest demonstrations.
Earlier, noted Indian author, Arundhati Roy, expressed solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir in their fight for justice and right to self-determination. She said, India needs as much azadi (freedom) from Kashmir as Kashmir needs from it.

Obama to demand India for Kashmir issue resolution
Go for a Kashmir solution and help bring stability to the region for a ticket to UN Security Council membership and fulfilling your big power aspirations. That's the broad message President Barack Obama will be bringing to New Delhi during his upcoming November visit to India, preparation for which are in full swing in Washington DC.
The Kashmir settlement-for-seat at high table idea is being discussed animatedly in the highest levels of the US administration, according to a various sources. President Obama himself has decided to revive the process of a US push in this direction, albeit discreetly, because of New Delhi's sensitivities.
Key administration officials are confirming that the UNSC issue will be on Obama's agenda when he visits New Delhi. The US President is expected to announce an incremental American support to India's candidature during his address to the joint session of India's parliament, depending on New Delhi's receptiveness to resolving the Kashmir tangle.
"[UNSC reforms] is something that is under discussion as we prepare for the President's important visit," US Assistant Secretary of State Robert Blake confirmed on Monday during a read-out of the meeting between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Indian counterpart S.M.Krishna, saying the two had agreed the "President's visit will be a defining moment in the history of our bilateral relations."
The clearest insight into Obama's thinking on the matter comes from Bob Woodward's latest book "Obama's War" in which top US policy makers are shown mulling on defusing the Kashmir situation as part of an exit strategy for US from the AfPak theater.
"Why can't we have straightforward talks with India on why a stable Pakistan is crucial?" Obama is reported as musing at one meeting. "India is moving toward a higher place in its global posture. A stable Pakistan would help." Implicit in the rumination is the idea that settling Kashmir would mollify Pakistan, where, US officials say, hardliners are using the unresolved issue as an excuse to breed an army of terrorists aimed at bleeding India.
