I have to begin today from where I ended yesterday. That is remaining in the exact same place either side of midnight.
I can kick off with this retweet from yours truly:
That's reasonably summed up though accession document is not a one-way street. It can be revoked by a genuinely functioning J and K Assembly or even an indigenous political process. Although we are still a few steps away from that. https://t.co/gUyzy7n7fy— Tanveer Ahmed (@sahaafi) February 24, 2019

Then it's time to translate the following document:

| Mahmood Ahmed Musafir's Farewell Flyer 2.0 |
The earlier farewell bid (1.0) was on the 24th of October 2018 and had to be aborted for logistical reasons.
Here's the translation:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm (described as) an apostate and traitor if I speak the truth.
Mad is my humble being they say, if I were to lie then my humble being would be a hypocrite.
That's why this humble being is migrating from here.
This humble being will live his life wherever he will find (a civilised) abode.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The public enemy policies of the authorities in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan have forced me to take this step to migrate from Azad Kashmir and Pakistan towards an (as yet) unknown destination, where I can hide my head.
I will break my hunger strike since (which began on) the 14th of May 2018 and eat food (Musafir has survived on liquids during this period) in such an (conducive) environment where I will be able (given the opportunity) to produce electricity without any of the following (recognised) methods:
Water, diesel, petrol, gas, coal, paraffin oil, atomic power, solar power, furnace oil, dry battery, seawaves, garbage and even without wind, if necessary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The thought and concern of:
Their Excellencies; Allaama (Professor) Iqbal, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Ahmed Faraz, Habeeb Jaalib and Ubaid Ullah Sindhi.
(An attempt was made to convey to):
Your Excellencies; the president of Pakistan, the prime minister of Pakistan, the 72 year old advocate of Kashmiris - the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the so-called government of Azad (free) Kashmir.
For 26 years I have searched for Islamic fairness & justice, human rights organisations and (legal) courts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A bright and prosperous Azad Kashmir - A bright and prosperous Pakistan
As I've committed the crime of desiring prosperity of mankind (I bid)
Farewell Farewell Azad Kashmir - Pakistan Farewell
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whilst there are thousands of PHD graduates here and hundreds of thousands of double and triple Masters engineering graduates; yet this country is still bankrupt, mired in a darkness of owing debts upon debts. Why?
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab, Baluchistan, Gilgit, Kashmir and in particular Tharpaakar (Sindh) are where the public are deprived of a morsel of food, justice, education, healthcare, clothes and clean drinking water. Why?
A few families have illuminated abodes while the rest make do in darkness. Why?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Load-shedding (of power supply) and expensive electricity.
Expensive education with a dishevelled curriculum and educational institutions without roofs, protective four walls or toilets.
Unclean common drinking water sources that lead to hepatitis and HIV aids.
Cruel termite-infested banking system.
There is a different set of laws for the rich and poor (in practice).
Zakat (compulsory alms-giving) and its institutional structure 'Bait ul Maal' (House of Wealth) including schemes such as Benazir Income Support Programme and Health Card, are all a cruel joke at the expense of the poor.
Young children and women are victims of violent sexual assault.
Freedom of expression is prohibited.
The United Nations Charter and the constitution of Pakistan have been (practically) abandoned.
Farmers, physical labour and creative writers are economically strangulated.
The children of those in power are facilitated with permanent occupations (job positions) while the children of the poor are subject to ad-hoc-ism and employment on contract policies.
98% of the bureaucracy is unbridled, (are compulsive) liars, hypocrites, tricksters and enemies of Socrates (5th century BC Greek philosopher).
I repeatedly reject this so-called democracy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have power in your (educational) degrees then produce electricty at Siachin (Glacier).
If you can't do that, then burn your degrees and then..............(Musafir leaves the rest to the reader's imagination)
