dawn.com Kargil: Lone flays Pakistan's role By Shaheen Sehbai A LONELY VOICE from LONE: Leave us ALONE WASHINGTON, Sept 26: The only All Parties Hurriyat Conference leader from occupied Kashmir has asked Pakistan to leave the Kashmiris alone and let them continue their own struggle for their right to self-determination. LONE LASHES out at Pakis for Kargil fiasco Apparently ill and weak,Abdul Ghani Lone, who was allowed by India to come to the US only for three months for medical treatment, was extremely bitter and angry with Pakistan, specially after the Kargil crisis and the humiliation which, he said, had been heaped on Kashmiris and Pakistan. He met some Pakistan correspondents at a dinner hosted by a community activist, Dr Nisar Chaudhry, for visiting Senate Chairman Waseem Sajjad at his Maryland home on Saturday night. Asked what specifically the APHC wanted Pakistan to do for the Kashmiris in political, financial or military terms, Mr Lone said: "Just leave us alone." Thanks pakis, But No Thanks. Stay OUT & Keep OUT of SIGHT "Kargil has also proved that Pakistan cannot liberate Kashmir. We have been facing and confronting the might of one of the largest armies in the world for 12 years but Pakistan could not stand to some small pressure from the international community," he said. He said Pakistan had refused to accept the Kashmiris as a party in the dispute and never consulted them before any initiative by Islamabad to talk about Kashmir with India. Lone says: No INKLING, that U INKed the Lahore agreement "We were never given an inkling of the Lahore process or the visit of the Indian prime minister to Lahore. We were not even recommended by Pakistan to get observer status at the OIC," he said. INSULT, but NO CONSULT Earlier talking to Dawn by telephone, Mr Lone said it was the "greatest insult" to Kashmiris that India and Pakistan discuss their issue without even consulting them. POKemon,(Bin Laden and crew) stay out of POK and LOC If the sanctity of the LoC is to be respected, then it has to be respected at every point and not selectively, Mr Lone said. One Day, a Unified Kashmir, muses Lone He maintained: "The Kashmiris think the LoC is a line of blood, we don't recognize its sanctity as it has divided the Kashmiris." Pakis, U made a CARICATURE OUT OF KARGIL - NOT FAIR Mr Lone said Kargil had hurt our cause and before that the Lahore Declaration was also against the Kashmiris. Kargil had revived the Simla Pact which was not in the interest of Kashmiris, he added. Kashmiris COUNT as per LONE "If India and Pakistan want to reach an agreement it should not be at our cost."
