hmm | 9 years ago | Reply Well these things wont trouble us . These are paid People and have little support.

Bewildered | 9 years ago | Reply @Iqbal: (Ram Ram) "Imagine Indian flags waving in POK." Who would want to wave an Indian flag in Azad Kashmir anyway? Nobody. That is why you don't hear of any rallies for 'Azadi' or incidents of Indian flag waving in Azad Kashmir, unlike the Indian occupied part of Kashmir where there is a rally every other day demanding 'Azadi' from Indian occupation.

Shakti | 9 years ago | Reply @Cynic Waheed: Don't be presumptuous. It doesn't hurt at all. You think a few paid flag wavers are going to scare us away? We won't do to them what Pakistan did to Bughti either.

Whiskey Khan | 9 years ago | Reply Kashmir may be a disputed area but as long as it is under their control and governed by India it comes under their jurisdiction and the people are subject to their laws. You break the law and you will be dealt accordingly. I am not an Indian nor a Pakistani......just my view

Karachiwala | 9 years ago | Reply @Iqbal: If you believe in democracy, then follow UK model and its referendum on Scotland. Give three options to the people of Kashmir. Independence, with Pakistan or with India. I am 100 percent sure that except the 800,000 brutal Indian force, the rest will got for Pakistan.

Cynic Waheed | 9 years ago | Reply @ Indians - I know it hurts! :) But sitting on a disputed territory like Israel has done to Palestine will never make Kashmir part of India! Just wait and see - truth always wins in the end, the struggle, the sacrifices of Kasmiri people will never go unanswered. At the moment you feel invincible (falsely), but you are going to get a taste of your own medicine not so distant in future. Leave Kashmir and Kashmiri people alone. Thank you. A Pakistani.

Iqbal | 9 years ago | Reply That proves that that part of the world is democratic. Imagine Indian flags waving in POK. Pakistan has long way to go before it lectures others of how to practice democracy.
