0756hrs:
Well, we have reached the landmark of 80 days of incessant aggression on our territory by Pakistan.
Much needed food & medicine in Poonch continues to be cruelly thwarted by the country referenced above, that I repeatedly remind the world was created specifically for conflict and not for governance. Its amazing how so many people still get fooled by an imaginary sense of religious fraternity with Pakistan, planted by the very skillful colonial improviser Great Britain.
An interesting anecdote amongst many needs to be referenced in relation to the recent sham elections that partially took place in AJK recently:
A returning officer at a particular polling station in Mirpur division (on the 27th of July) counted the votes submitted at the end of the day and signed off according to the figures recorded and went home. About an hour later, he got a call asking him in an extremely aggressive voice as to where he was exactly? Upon providing details he was ordered to remain where he was and wait for someone to pick him up. About 10 minutes later a couple of Pakistani Rangers wagons approached him and ordered him to take a seat. He was then duly taken to the local Pakistani clandestine agency's office and asked furiously, as to who gave him permission to leave the polling station?
This returning officer meekly replied that nobody had given him any such instruction to remain at the polling station. He had completed his duties and filled out the results as they were. In response, he was informed that he was extremely fortunate that coincidentally the party (PMLN) that they had wanted to win this particular polling station, had in fact had most votes cast in its favour. Thus, he was free to go but not without a warning and lecture on understanding who actually runs the election process. That in future, he - the returning officer - should always bear that in mind!
Apart from the above anecdote, we are receiving many reports of local businesses being threatened in advance of the election, that if they did not cast their vote, their shops would be sealed and if they are renting the premises, that their contracts would be cancelled and that they would be evicted if they did not vote.
When we eventually witness the conclusion of this war on our territory, there will be much more ugly facts surfacing, as to what our people have undergone as collective punishment for exposing Pakistan's inability to govern this territory, or even their own country for that matter.
