Day 2 of #AJKReferendum2023

We returned to Mirpur yesterday evening to drop off our 93 year old asset of the nation, Abdul Jabbar Butt.

Interest and attention on this #DirectDemocracy exercise is spreading almost like wildfire throughout the territory. Responsibility will also flow down to the Dhok (sub-village) level in due course. Our first data centre will be set up at Moil.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 187 of 2022

1815hrs:

Day 31 at Maqbool Bhat Shaheed Square - Dadyaal.

0823hrs

I'm late again! I know if I don't arrive every day by 0800hrs (while making up for previous late entries) I will fail in whatever I want to do.

We thought it high time to make some footage for JKTV today on our latest activity in AJK:

....

Meanwhile, the Saddaqat Mughal Kashmiri issue continues to consume time of AJK Public Agency but it will go down as notable in the history of AJK, even if purely for the absurd yet predictable manner in which the rotten system of governance in AJK is being exposed by the day.

We will continue to update the weblog entry of Daily Diary (DD) - Day 185 of 2022 as and when fresh twists in the saga emerge. 

I was inclined to note and respond to the following FB post by Journalist Fazal ur Rehman of Smaahni which referenced Saddaqat Mughal as will as examined the role of public servants in AJK:

I initially responded in Roman Urdu, as follows:

100% drust! Ab wo waqt aagaya hay ke hum apney sarkaari mulaazimeen jo hamaarey diye huwey paisey pe pal kar parosi mulk ki wafadaari kartey hain ke hum un ko benaqaab karkey sarkaari naukriyo se nikaaley...

Imaandaar aur hunarmand shehryo ki talaash shuru karey aur un ko un ki jagho pe betaye...

Hamaarey apney hi logo ki khudgharzi ne humey ghulaam rakha huwa hay.

India aur Pakistan ka koi kamaal nahi.

Britaaniya ne un dono ko 1947 me kaha ke jao aur Jammu Kashmir ki mumlikat ko cheen lo...aur is ko aik militarised zone banao qayamat tak.

Militarised zones me maqaami logo ke koi huqooq nahi hotey aur jin mulko ki faujey aisey malawas hoti hain un ke apney log bhi ghurbat me hi dam letey hain.

End of Roman Urdu note....

Translation of FB post above followed by translation of my Roman Urdu note above:

He who is not loyal to his country

Is a hypocrite, indeed he's the traitor

Jammu kashmirians (JKians) should be loyal to their motherland 

The State of Jammu Kashmir

Saddaqat Mughal's arrest is unconstitutional and illegal

Confinement is in fact kidnap and akin to unlawful detention

Jammu Kashmir Republic Movement - Shaista Khalid

End of FB post above....

My response:

100% correct! Now the time has come that we expose (those from) our government employees - who are fed, clothed and housed with our donated money (taxes) - yet they observe loyalty to our neighbouring country viz. Pakistan. The guilty should be dismissed from government jobs forthwith....

We should already be searching for honest and skilful citizens to replace them....

Our own people's selfishness has maintained our status as slaves.

This is by no means a wonderful achievement of India and Pakistan.

Colonial Britain told both in 1947 to go forth and seize the country of Jammu Kashmir....and convert it into a militarised zone till doomsday.

Local inhabitants do not have any rights in militarised zones and countries that get their armies embroiled (in such territories), also force their own people to breathe and die in poverty.

The Chak-Haryam Bridge or rather the c. 20 year old incomplete Chak-Haryam Bridge at Akaalgarh would shorten the distance to Mirpur by at least an hour for anyone living north of Akaalgarh (including Chakswari, Dadyaal, Sehnsa, Kotli etc.) and even a few kilometres south by c. 40 kilometres.

Apparently, it was promised by the Pakistani State to the people of this region after the forced upraising of the Mangla Lake in the early 2000s. It hasn't been completed to date, while its budget has far exceeded the original estimate and many a politician and bureaucrat - in AJK as well as Pakistan - has feasted on its incompleteness. 

Despite sporadic lobbying by various social and political entities in the region over the past 2 decades - some UK MPs of AJK origin also put in a good word too at some point but to no avail - now, recently elected president of the Mirpur Bar Association Imtiaz Raja has decided to take the 'bull by the horns' by consistently focussing on mobilising the public combined with persistently pressing the authorities for its completion, as imminently as possible. 

In this video, it can be seen that he has taken a delegation to meet Qamar Zaman Kaira in Pakistan's capital, the PPP politician who in the recent power shuffle in that country has been deputed as an advisor to the Pakistani prime minister on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit Baltistan:

A very windy day today and we have to combat that on top of everything else:

If you cannot directly read the text of the Facebook post above:

English:

From 1947 to 2022 India avoided collecting public opinion of the people of JKA as they knew they would lose.

From 1947 to 2022 Pakistan avoided collecting public opinion of the people of JKA as they (foolishly) insisted In advance that the people here provide an oath of allegiance.

From 2011 to 2016 an inheritor of this very territory diligently collected public opinion in AJK and an overwhelming majority exposed the bilateral collaboration of both countries.

Now that inheritor has been waiting for 36 days at Martyr's Square Kotli , anticipating the remaining inheritors.

Urdu:

انڈیا نے اس لیے متحدہ جموں کشمیر کے لوگوں سے 1947 سے 2022 تک رائے نہیں لی کیونکہ انکو پتہ تھا کہ وہ ہار جائیں گئے

پاکستان نے اس لیے متحدہ جموں کشمیر کے لوگوں سے 1947 سے 2022 تک رائے نہیں لی کیونکہ وہ بضد تھے کہ پہلے یہاں کہ لوگوں سے وفاداری کا حلف لیں۔

آذاد جموں کشمیر کے لوگوں کی رائے یہاں کے وارث نے ہی 2011 تا 2016 تک لی اور بھاری اکثریت نے دونوں ملکوں کی ملی بھگت کو بے نقاب کر دیا!

اب وہ وارث باقی وارثوں کے انتظار میں ہے 36 دن سے شہید چوک کوٹلی میں۔

As much as I try and avoid him, he seems to cross my path, albeit virtually:

In many respects, this applies to you too.

Earlier in the day, he (Raja Farooq Haider x. PM of AJK) had made some bold noises about the State of JKA. However, he usually follows that up with a meek apology to the masters who control him in Pakistan. In my opinion, he's more of a liability than an asset:

To paraphrase what he said:

India and Pakistan cannot divide this territory between themselves. The land of JKA is not bait ul maal (war booty) or khalsa sarkar (crown land). He also reiterated his demand that AJK be recognised as the genuine successor state to the Dogra State of JKA. Gilgit Baltistan should be given a AJK like set-up and have confederation-type terms with AJK.  

Haider also reminded the audience that he had categorically informed the senior leadership of his party (PML-N viz. Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz) on the 25th of December 2020 that if they - the party - took any steps to permanently divide the territory of JKA between India and Pakistan, he would be the first to revolt against them.

JKA is not a territorial issue between geographic neighbours but a people's issue, which only the people can represent themselves, to the outside world, he repeated once more to an audience outside Islamabad press club.

Someone encapsulated some of the above in a photo:

Bearing in mind what he says disparagingly about 'bait ul maal' (this term also applies to evacuee property) and remembering what Malik Waseem & family have gone through to remain caretakers of Ratan Singh and Sardar Singh's land in Naluchi Muzaffarabad, it is obvious what he - Raja Farooq Haider - and others in the AJK government and administration think about 'bait ul maal'. A 'free for all' is what he is implying.

Haider's entry at this All Parties Conference was also in line with his Jekyll and Hyde temperament:

Day 34 at Martyr's Square Kotli

An Urdu translation of the above introspection:

Don't ask about the condition of the Muslim

He is ready to get his head cut for the Masjid

but he is not ready to bow his head in the Masjid

He begins whirling as soon as he hears the name of the beloved prophet (of Islam)

but he disappears as soon as he hears the command of the prophet

He says that in every vein of his is the prophet

but he prays Salaat in the week only occasionally

A song by Labi Siffre with meaning relevant to Shaheed Chowk Kotli AJK - the last bastion of a free, independent and neutral Jammu Kashmir & Allied territory (JKA):

........

Update 1620hrs:

The security of any State in the world including JKA relies on its public (on its people). 

First things first.....our people are not understanding the concept of Public Assembly, so how can they represent their opinion to the world?

AJK Public Agency is on a trajectory that covers 99% of the population of AJK and at least 51% of the rest of JKA....

Let us think together.....at Martyr's Square or Shaheed Chowk in Kotli.

Jo dar gaya samjho mar gaya...(trans. Whoever is in fear is as good as dead)

An Urdu translation of the above is as folows:

JKA سمیت دنیا کی کسی بھی ریاست کی سلامتی اس کے عوام (اپنے لوگوں پر) پر انحصار کرتی ہے۔

 سب سے پہلی بات ..... ہمارے لوگ عوامی اسمبلی کے تصور کو نہیں سمجھ رہے تو وہ اپنی رائے کو دنیا کے سامنے کیسے پیش کر سکتے ہیں؟

 اے جے کے پبلک ایجنسی اس راستے پر ہے جو آزاد جموں و کشمیر کی 99 فیصد آبادی اور کم از کم 51 فیصد باقی جے کے اے پر محیط ہے۔

 آؤ مل کر سوچتے ہیں کوٹلی کے چوک شہداء چوک پر۔

Latest Update on Malik Waseem (Land & People of JKA saga) - 

Tue Feb 19 2022 at 1600hrs

The UK government is engaged on the Malik Waseem 'Land & People' case, through their citizen Faisal Fyaz, it is reported.

We also understand Ali Amin Gandapur and Zulfi Bukhari are engaged on this case too, possibly on behalf of the Pakistani government.

We also require an international lawyer to represent Malik Waseem, accessed through a globally recognised human rights organisation, as he is being denied legal defence in a neutral territory called AJK. 

This is an alarming situation....

Especially for Ratan Singh and Sardar Singh's descendents.

They should be found but I don't think the Indian government is co-operating, I could be wrong but they are as intent as Pakistan to change the demography of Jammu Kashmir & Allied areas (JKA).

Day 28 at Martyr's Square Kotli

Another not so random click at the castle of strategic aspirations:

......

Students of Kotli stand and protest in solidarity with their brothers and sisters at AJK University in Muzaffarabad, who were beaten black and blue by AJK police. 

Why? 

Because they were peacefully protesting for rights that students throughout the world usually do not need to protest over.

The attitude of the AJK government to demands for basic rights by any citizen(s) of any shape or kind?

Beat them up and force them them to re-think the reality in which they live.

Almost zero governance, as declared by AJK PUBLIC AGENCY 

They also took this opportunity to show solidarity with me:

Media attention has increased markedly in the past few days and that has got to be a positive development. Here's another example:

The following is what happens to journalists in Pakistan who engage in anti-corruption drives, for the love of their country:

.........

In a similar vein, here's proof that Pakistan does not have any legal, democratic, peaceful or ethical stand on JKA.

Here's a statement from the victim first off:

"Today was the hearing of my petition at Islamabad High Court.  Instead of looking into the legal course of the suspension of my passport, whether the concerned and relavent departments or the state institutions took the due legal course or not? Or whether they act with impunity to deprive a person who isn’t a natural citizen of Pakistan. Or who didn’t commit any such crime against Pakistan or didn’t instigated or take part in activities or threat to the sovereignty of Pakistan. 

The honorable court has asked my counsel Syed Nisar Shah Advicate to submit an oath or affidavit of loyalty to Pakistan from his client and that’s it. 

Where are the rules and law? 

Justice delayed is justice denied."

End of statement

Do I need to elaborate any more after watching this video?

I don't think so. In short, trying to force an aspiring citizen of Jammu Kashmir & Allied areas - namely Jamil Maqsood of Rawalakot and residing in Belgium to pledge loyalty to Pakistan in order to obtain a Pakistani passport (an enforced practical compulsion as it is) without providing any opportunity to the defendant in a court of law is bizarre, to say the least.

Latest Update on Malik Waseem (Land & People of JKA saga) - 

Tue Feb 15 2022 at 1700hrs

Family statement:

The Muzaffarabad administration is hell bent on closing all legal/civil avenues for us to challenge our eviction and right to tenancy (not ownership) on Ratan Singh and Sardar Singh's land. 

Note: We wish to remain caretakers until the return of this Sikh family's descendants.

The administration has begun threatening to abduct the women of the household once again and to trap Malik Waseem's elder brother Malik Naeem in (an)other charge(s).

Malik Waseem is still in jail and not being released because - amongst other compulsions - the DC Nadeem Janjua is using personal enmity against Waseem, to ensure he fulfills the duties he's been given by his superiors, included the British taxpayer funded (viz. his higher education) Commissioner Muzaffarabad Masood ur Rehman.

They are forcing us to refrain from using social media to highlight our plight. Meanwhile, they are intent on getting a 'deal' out of us (to forego our claim of living on the land we have been living on since 1949).

Not even a single member of JKNSF is standing with us today. Not a single public demonstration or strike has taken place.

This is truly worrying.

Our strife is mounting. It is likely that Malik Naeem (Waseem's elder brother) will also be trapped in 16 MPO (like Waseem) as a convenient silencing tool by the administration.

The latter are hell bent and have strict orders to 'bury' this case.

Legally, as we were already in possession of a 'stay of execution' on the land and property (technically even before we were violently evicted on the 17th of January); we re-entered on February the 7th. All monitors will recall that the area was swarming with police all evening and beyond into the next day (Feb 8), when the police pounced on Malik Waseem and violently thrashed him in public, while he was en route to the court.

Now, the administration is once again ordering us to vacate the property, despite a 'stay of execution'. In other words, they are openly flouting the law!

Furthermore, the administration is repeatedly urging us to make a 'deal' and leave the property voluntarily. That is the only way Malik Waseem can be released, they insist.

They also repeatedly tell us that if you don't leave voluntarily we will violently evict you again and at any time, without notice.

It seems as if the whole administration is hounding us.

Our lawyer Sardar Shaukat has also not been able to withstand the pressure. We understand that action is being taken to revoke his legal practice licence.

We are now well and truly at the mercy of the land mafia/capital administration.

End of family statement....

My notes:

The penultimate sentence is most crucial I think. Being deprived of legal counsel is just one step too far in a tragic comedy of errors, made by Masood ur Rehman and Co.

This opens up all the space we need to rectify the land revenue department of AJK.

We have solicited legal assistance from a number of international human rights organisations, in light of these inhumane developments - and will soon make public - who will be representing Malik Waseem and his family.

I did warn the administration that the more desperate they will get, the more errors they will make. Essentially, they are hard at work, digging their own grave!

 انتظامیہ کا اس معاملہ کو آنا کا مسلہ بنا لینے کے عوام الناس کی جانب سے تذکرے اھمیت کے حامل ھو سکتے ھیں۔۔

اگر عدالتی حکم امتناعی کے باجود ملک وسیم کو جیل میں رکھنا اسکی فیملی کو پھر بیدخلی کے لیے حربے آزمانے کو اس تناظر میں بھی دیکھا جا سکتا ھے کہ ایسا توھین عدالت کے زمرے میں آتا ھے۔۔

اس کیس کے وکیل سردار شوکت ایڈووکیٹ کے متعلق بھی یہ تذکرہ ھے کہ وہ لینڈ مافیا کے مؤثر اور طاقتور حربوں و ھتکنڈوں کا سامنا کرنے میں دقت محسوس کر رھے ھیں۔۔انکے پریکٹس کرنے کے لائسنس کا بھی شاید معاملہ بن سکتا ھے۔۔

ایسی صورت ملک وسیم پارٹی کے پاس آپشنز ختم ھونے کے آثار نمایاں ھونے لگے ھیں۔۔

مسعود الرحمن کا موقف تو سامنے نہیں آسکا۔۔ 

لیکن اس معاملہ میں عالمی اداروں کو بھی مطلع کیا گیا ھے اور معروف ترین وطن پرست مدبر و سکالر ادیب و صحافی راجہ تنویر احمد خان آف سنسہہ اس وقت کوٹلیPOK کے شہید چوک میں 27/28روز سے بلا تعطل 

دھرنے دئیے شعوری جمہوری انسانی و قانونی اور آئینی و عالمی اصولوں کے مطابق برسر پیکار ھیں انہوں نے اس تمام پیچیدگی کے زمہ دار ملک برطانیہ کے بڑی تعداد میں ایم پیز سے رابطہ رکھا ھوا ھے ۔۔

یہ معاملہ میڈیا کے انتہائی چوکس و زیرک اور بولڈ صحافیوں اور اداروں کے پاس بھی ھے جو کسی بھی ھے 

اور انسانی حقوق کے دنیا کی کئی تنظیمیں بھی اس پر اب مصروف عمل ھیں۔۔ 

ایسے میں جب جموں کشمیر کی ریاست کا یہ خطہ جس غاصب قابض ملک پاکستان کے قبضہ و کنٹرول میں ھے

 وہاں ایسے واقعات پر پورے ملک کو گرے لسٹ کا سامنا ھے۔۔ 

 

گویا مظفرآباد انتظامیہ اس واقعہ سے صورت حال کو مزید بگاڑنے کا بھی خدا نخواستہ رویہ اپنا کر نہ صرف جموں کشمیر بلکہ پاکستان پر پہلے سے جاری پابندیوں کو مزید سخت کرانے کی جانب پیش رفت کر رھی ھے۔۔۔

رتن سنگھ سردار سنگھ نلوچی مظفرآباد کی اس متروکہ جائیداد ھی نہیں دیگر متروکہ جائیدادوں کے تحفظ کے لیے عنقریب جموں کشمیر کے دونوں جانب جموں کشمیریوں کے پلیٹ فارم کی تشکیل بھی کی جا رھی ھے۔۔
