- Another was Khooni lakir tod do, aar paar jod do (Break down the blood-soaked Line of Control, let Kashmir be united again).

Kashmiris protesting to join Pakistan: Tehrik e Ilhak be Paksitan is very much alive and cannot die
SRINAGAR, Aug 24: One person was killed and dozens were injured in occupied Kashmir on Sunday when police fired bullets and used batons to disperse thousands of pro-independence protesters defying a curfew.
The Kashmiris brutalized by the Indian Occupation struggling for their freedom and joining Pakistan
the voice that the government of India has tried so hard to silence in Kashmir has massed into a deafening roar. Raised in a playground of army camps, checkpoints, and bunkers, with screams from torture chambers for a soundtrack, the young generation has suddenly discovered the power of mass protest, and above all, the dignity of being able to straighten their shoulders and speak for themselves, represent themselves. For them it is nothing short of an epiphany. Not even the fear of death seems to hold them back. And once that fear has gone, of what use is the largest or second largest army in the world? A. Roy
Authorities imposed the indefinite curfew ahead of a separatist rally planned for Monday, but thousands of people defied the order in the latest in a series of demonstrations against Indian rule in the disputed Himalayan region.
In Srinagar a 60-year-old man was killed and his son critically wounded when police fired at a group of protesters, police said.

The biggest demonstration took place in Handwara, 75km north of Srinagar where Muslims charged security personnel with desecrating the holy Quran. Authorities denied the charge.
In the past two weeks Kashmir has seen some of the biggest pro-independence demonstrations since 1989. The protests were triggered by a dispute with the region’s Hindus over transfer of land to a Hindu shrine trust, bolstering separatist sentiments in Kashmir.
Separatist leaders plan to address a huge rally on Monday in Lal chowk in the heart of Srinagar, insisting they will not be deterred by the curfew. A three-day strike called by separatists in the region began on Saturday.

“In fact the government is trying to target us. They killed Sheikh Aziz and scores of innocent people,” separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani said. “Now they are trying to suppress our peaceful struggle.”
Sheikh Aziz was among 23 protesters killed by police over the past two weeks. More than 500 people have been injured in clashes.
Geelani said more than two dozen activists of the region’s main separatist alliance, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, had been arrested in overnight police raids.
“They are scared of our peaceful but massive demonstrations for freedom,” Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the region’s leading cleric, said. “The rally in Lal Chowk is to remind India of its promises.”
Shabir Shah, a veteran separatist, said police ransacked his home overnight and harassed members of his household, though he slipped away before they arrived.
Nearly a dozen separatists were detained during night time raids, police said.
On Sunday, several journalists were beaten up by police and three were hospitalised, an association of Kashmiri journalists said. “Security personnel are abusing and beating journalists,” Farooq Khan, the president of Kashmir Press Photographers Association, said. “We strongly condemn this.”
Thousands of police and troops were patrolling the region’s streets to enforce the curfew. Police vehicles with loudspeakers urged people to remain indoors.
A government official claimed the curfew was a “precautionary measure” due to fears for the safety of separatist leaders, who immediately rubbished the government’s stance.-Agencies
Kashmir has everything that a free state need. Ability to vote and create their own government and laws.
But Pakistan is lacking one thing WATER , all his water sources are originated from kashimr therefore they need it in their control. Being a Muslim majority in the valley, it was an easy for pak to create unrest in kashmir for there own interest. This is why initially all problem was caused by foreign terrorist mixing the religion and aajadi etc. This is the reason for all this mess.
The 5000 year old relationship between Kashmir and Pakistan is a million times stronger than water–it is blood, kinship, relgion, race, ethnicity, language and love of each other.
