Give them vote what you like for yourself like it for them too, period. In India keeping with its greatest democratic traditions screwed the hell out of Pakistan Army when they tried to deny Bangla Desh the result of their vote. You made sure that freedom loving Bengalis get what they want, did you get a 'Hinduvta' out of that? Pakistan may be with its equally 'great democratic credentials'(both democracies heavily rely on 600,000 man a piece to deny freedom to people) wants right of vote for Kashmiris, share hypocrisy may be! but valid argument. The issue is 1948 UN resolutions which were denied, and I assure you that the 'secular nature' of your composition has seen a final death blow in Gujarat. RSS is a neo-Nazi party is a part of the BJP alliance, in my country RSS like parties in JI will not get a single seat, Saffron rules supreme and that is dangerous. We have collared our radicals in your case radicals are part of the structure that wants to go for the final solution. Elections in Kashmir are like Referendum of Mush!! No one participates less than 11% voted last time and in September you will see that.

From one city to another.. from one city operations to another city operations..<The Indian army is being moved out of riot-affected cities in Gujarat and back to the western state's border with Pakistan, a defence ministry spokesman said on Tuesday. "It (the move) has no link with the present situation," said P.K. Bandopadhya, referring to rising tensions between India and Pakistan." They are going back to the operational areas because they are no longer required for deployment in the cities."

Leading Kashmiri separatist killed news.bbc.co.uk Mr Lone was a moderate among the separatists A leading separatist has been shot dead in Indian-administered Kashmir, just as Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee landed in the disputed region. Abdul Ghani Lone, a leader of Indian-administered Kashmir's main separatist alliance, the All Party Hurriyat Conference, was shot while speaking at a rally in Srinagar, Indian Kashmir's summer capital. The killing came as Vajpayee landed in Kashmir The details are still not entirely clear, but Mr Lone and a bodyguard were shot dead while attending a ceremony commemorating the assassination of a Kashmiri leader, witnesses said. Three masked men are said to have approached him and opened fire. The gunmen have not yet been identified and no one has admitted carrying out the attack. Mr Lone was taken to a hospital in Srinagar, but was found to be dead on arrival, reports say. Mr Vajpayee has described the killing as unfortunate and said the incident would not derail the peace process. Moderate face Abdul Ghani Lone was a senior figure in the Kashmiri movement which advocates the disputed region's separation from India. A war could escalate out of control He was seen as a moderate, who wanted to open the way for talks with the Indian Government to find a political solution to the Kashmir dispute. A BBC correspondent says his murder will be seen as an attack on the moderate side of Kashmiri separatist politics. The Pakistani Government was among the first to condemn the attack. It said it was saddened by the death of Mr Lone and that his murder could be a setback for the peace process. An alliance of Kashmiri militant groups - United Jehad Council - described Mr Lone's murder as a great loss to the "liberation movement of Kashmir". Tensions high The shooting happened shortly before Mr Vajpayee arrived at a military airport near Jammu. Tensions between India and Pakistan have soared since more than 30 people were killed in an attack on an army camp near Jammu last week, which India blamed on Pakistan-based militants. Heavy shelling between the two sides over their border in Kashmir continued for a fifth straight day on Tuesday. At least three civilians were killed and seven injured in the latest exchanges, an Indian army spokesman said. Pakistani police said a 10-year-old had died in the firing. Shares on the stock exchange in Bombay have fallen sharply, in expectation of hostilities breaking out. Karachi had its biggest daily fall in nearly four years on Monday. War of words Pakistan has urged the international community to "convince India to see reason", and appealed for talks with Delhi to defuse the situation. General Musharraf faces difficult demands Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman Aziz Ahmed Khan said his government was keeping foreign governments, the United Nations and other organisations fully informed and was ready to accept foreign intervention. India said it would try bring pressure to bear on Pakistan by "sensitising the world community" about what it claimed were Pakistan-backed attacks. Delhi says it will not negotiate with Pakistan until President Pervez Musharraf acts on a pledge he made in January to crack down on militants opposed to Indian rule in Kashmir. The international community, especially the United States, is worried about the conflict escalating out of control, and has urged both sides to exercise restraint. The US has said it will send Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage to visit India and Pakistan, although no date has been set.
