Daily Diary (DD) - Day 25 of 2022

1922hrs:

Another day at Shaheed Chowk Kotli. Day 6 in fact. 

The following conversation in Pahaari made its impact. Many thanks to KNI Kashmir for a thought-provoking presentation:

.......

Meanwhile, here are some notes on certain aspects of the Malik Waseem case which need clarification:

Look, Mr Tanveer yesterday night I have organised a special meeting with........., the........ I am agree on the point that the system of evacuee property should be made transparent, corruption in revenue department should be abandon now and the system of governance should be improve in AJK territory. 

But in this particular case..........claimed that organised a meeting and bring Quran, I will take oath on Quran that Mr Waseem's family get residence in this house from 2017.

Waseem's took stay order from the court and at the same night he with his family shifted from other place to his house.

Have a look and be careful, your a public rights action oriented activists, you have to be very careful.

My response

Yes, I understand your genuine concerns and the implications if Malik Waseem is proved wrong. However, everybody genuinely concerned with the 'land' and 'people' of JKA should be clear about my motives and objectives for devoting so much energy to this case. This is a perfect opportunity to analyse the land revenue system in AJK and its endemic corruption. Particularly, people should understand that it is the most potent tool used by the Pakistani occupation to fulfill the British designed policy to permanently divide this territory between India and Pakistan. 

It should also be clear that this land in question does not belong to Malik Waseem or his adversary. By giving ownership rights to refugees from IOK the AJK government is facilitating the permanent division of this territory. It directly counters and restricts the 'Right of Return' of the Hindu and Sikh citizens of this territory and likewise creates the same hurdles for Muslim refugees of the State to return to their lands in IOK. 

Someone living in England competing for ownership of Evacuee land in Muzaffarabad is suspicious in itself. 

I could give you a hundred other reasons why scrutinising this particular dispute will help clarify our national objectives. As a community are we sincere in wanting to prevent the permanent division of this territory?

If we are, we must be willing to facilitate the return of Hindus and Sikhs here and Muslims to the other side. Malik Waseem is ready to vacate this land for its original owners and return to his own land in Kupwara. Is the gentleman in the UK willing to do that while being settled in the UK?

Is it not true that if he takes possession of this land he will immediately sell it to the highest bidder? Is it not true that the new judicial complex being built nearby has increased the importance of the land in Malik Waseem's possession?

In summary, I am in this to dissect all the internal corruption of the revenue department and its direct impact on solidifying India and Pakistan's occupation of this territory. 

I am not vouching for the 100% integrity of Malik Waseem's stance or the 100% dishonesty of his adversary's stance.

This case is essentially not about the relative merits of 2 individual claims, neither of whom have a right to ownership of this land. It is about preventing the permanent division of this territory between India and Pakistan. This can be achieved by repatriation of all religious communities to their original homelands within the territory of JKA.

Nobody needs to take this personally but if any citizen of this territory still thinks that I'm playing a mala fide role by supporting a weak citizen in his commitment to transparency, which is the condition I have set to support him, then I am ready to face any punishment the public wish to give me.

A note on food & drink quality issues in AJK:

From medicines to food commodities throughout the AJK territory or Pakistani administered Jammu Kashmir, here is a market for third class and inferior products.

Such a tragic situation does not even prevail in Indian held JK. Our local industry, agriculture and economy have been completely demolished and damaged with an organised conspiracy and now human lives are on the verge of destruction.

Drug inspectors are receiving bribes for allowing 10,000 fake (contaminated) medicines, which are available in 5,000 medical stores throughout our territory.

Types of 70 such hazardous oil and ghee:

Daily Khabrain is no doubt based on reality. These are the things which are in common observations. Smaaj Badlo Tehreek (Change Society Movement) has already shared it's concerns on fake medicines in particular.

An organised game is being played with the 4.5 million people of AJK territory.

The extremely deceitful business at the cost of human life is at its peak. People of JK A should launch protest on this ant human activity.

This third class business should be closed immediately, otherwise we shall call a protest.

Change society Movement Nakyal and Jammu Kashmir Awami Party have shared their concerns.

End of note (received and slightly edited by me for clarity)
