@1984: The house was never yours to begin with. India's occupation is morally unjustifiable and the crimes committed against humanity in Kashmir will only serve as a catalyst for future events.
@H.Qureshi: Looking at you Pakistanis commenting that India will one day vacate Kashmir is like a homeless man shouting at me that one day i will vacate my house and he will take over it ,even though he has no rights over it
I can see the two Indian posters fuming at their mouths but the fact is that Kashmir will be free of Indian occupation sooner or later. It is better for India to accept this and become part of the solution rather than face another uprising.
Pakistan will continue to support Kashmiris in every possbile way and on every forum. Every occupation comes to an end one day.
