LAHORE: Ghulam Mohiyuddin Deewan, an advisor to the Azad Kashmir prime minister, said on Monday that India’s “designs” had been exposed after the recent skirmishes along the Line of Control. Addressing a press conference at the Faisal Town office of the Azad Kashmir Peoples Party, he said Pakistan should review its decision to grant most-favoured trade nation status to India. He condemned Indian firing at the LoC, saying India was the enemy of both Pakistanis and Kashmiris. He lauded the Pakistan Army for “shooting back”. He said Kashmiris would continue their struggle for independence until they won their freedom from India. He said India should not forget that Pakistan was a nuclear power. He urged all Pakistanis to observe February 5 as the Kashmir Solidarity Day. At least two Indian and two Pakistani soldiers have been killed in firing along the Line of Control in the last week.

@Adnan: Forgotten 1971- you lost half of your country.
What Indian designs is he talking about. In 1971, India had 91,000 pakistani POWs and India could have executed any "designs" it had as a price of their return.
@Pops: Indian nuclear bomb or pop-corn ??
He should not forget India is also a nuclear power.
"He said Kashmiris would continue their struggle for independence until they won their freedom from India. He said India should not forget that Pakistan was a nuclear power."
Interesting! While he is all praise for Pakistan, he is not saying the Kashmiris want to be part of Pakisitan but instead want independence. If Kashmiris want independence, they are using Pakistan and its resources to achieve their own agenda of independence -read also from Pakistan.
