The Malik Waseem 'Land & People' reference case has taken a new turn, especially after civil society (X-LOC) made contact with the actual inheritors of this concerned evacuee property earlier this month. Many thanks to Romi Sharma in particular:
This has obviously shaken the land mafia of Muzaffarabad and their accomplices within the so-called 'nationalist' fraternity in the capital, both at home and abroad.
Dr Shabir Choudhary zeroes in on this point in the following video:
"Pakistan is sending the wrong message to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Dispute of Waseem Malik, resident of Muzaffarabad, must be resolved honourably so that he can care for his wife and children."
(Update) 1853hrs on 20/11/2022:
Dr Shabir Choudhary continues with Malik Waseem's theme in a consecutive video, while also responding to some feedback:
"Accession treaty and India’s obligations. Who is responsible to protect the rights of Waseem Malik?
Under the obligations of United Nations Security Council Resolutions Pakistan cannot violate fundamental rights of people of Jammu and Kashmir."
Here's the much anticipated comprehensive video interview of Malik Waseem Kashmiri, conducted by myself a few days ago:
Title and description was as follows:
Malik Waseem Kashmiri vs The State of AJK
The land and people of Jammu Kashmir & Allied areas (JKA)
If we tolerate the strong occupying the weak inside our territory, then how do we reason with external occupiers?
Large or small, occupiers are occupiers.
A comprehensive video interview of Malik Waseem Kashmiri by Tanveer Ahmed, in reference to the land of Sardar Singh and Ratan Singh in Naluchi, Muzaffarabad.
A comprehensive written report on this 'test case' will also be published very soon.
....
Meanwhile, DC Muzaffarabad is trying his best to trace Malik Waseem and get him illegally arrested once again, to prevent him from agitating for his rights.
....
We are reminding both our public as well as the institutions built courtesy of that public that cleaning our environment is a basic requirement for civilisation:
Here's the text describing the embedded video above:
Waste management, soil management, water management and human/data management at Maqbool Bhat Shaheed Square - Dadyaal
If it succeeds in this square it will succeed throughout the c.85K square miles of JKA.
Slavery is a curse and freedom doesn't come without getting your hands dirty.
Bringing regular - and hopefully - increasingly positive changes in one's daily routine at the age of 50 brings much change in one's body. It feels as if a whole circuit board is being changed.
Long may this continue.
....
I know - we Muslims - get very emotional and furious when it appears that somebody has insulted our holy prophet (peace be upon him). We do it by instinct because of our love and devotion but we must take heed of the following examples from our beloved prophet's own life:
It is indeed. It is also to be noted that - at least in this day and age - it is more likely that non Muslims will understand the universal messages of Islam rather than Muslims themselves. In general, Muslims adopt the faith but not the guidance > complications 4 all humanity.
There was always likely to be a sharp turn in matters related to Malik Waseem Kashmiri versus the State of AJK. I've been studying this 'test case' since the middle of December last year. In fact, I dedicated a folder for this issue and began collecting evidence on all matters related to it, on the 13th of December 2021.
There was a twist yesterday and it is just ballooning as an issue, with more thrust than at any point since Malik Waseem and his family were evicted on January the 17th 2022, from Sardar Singh and Ratan Singh's land in Naluchi, Muzaffarabad; that they had occupied as refugees from the other side of JKA (Kupwara) in 1949. after migrating in 1947.
The man on the ground representing the 'strong arm of the law' was Deputy Commissioner (DC hereon) Muzaffarabad Nadeem Janjua, who used all available tools in the British colonial manual to allegedly detain, intimidate, harass, torture, beat and blackmail Malik Waseem and his family.
He was following orders from the Supreme Court of AJK, claimed he and almost every other asset of the 'governance system' in Muzaffarabad.
Yesterday morning, news reached most parts of AJK that a stolen car (from Lahore last year) with government of AJK number plates, was in the 'custody' or 'use' of DC Muzaffarabad.
According to the following video report by a Pakistani news channel, namely City 41:
From 05:46 in the video....
DC Muzaffarabad is clearly implicated as 'custodian' of this stolen vehicle. The presenter also mentions that DC (Muzaffarabad) implored the owner to not publicly disclose this information; that the stolen vehicle with government of AJK number plates, was found in the DC's 'custody'.
On the contrary, DC Muzaffarabad Nadeem Janjua issued the following press note, yesterday too:
In this press note, DC Muzaffarabad Nadeem Janjua claims to have nothing to do with this stolen vehicle and considers it to be a cunning conspiracy against him and the 'honourable' office that he holds. He finishes by declaring that he is in the process of taking stern 'penal' action against all these 'conspirators'.
I wonder what action he should anticipate, if he is found guilty in a responsible court of law?
Will the endemically corrupt governance system in the State of AJK - even as much as investigate - his alleged 'misuse of authority' on an increasing list of alleged crimes?
Or in the words of a learned co-citizen: Will anybody investigate the Pakistani TV channel City 41?
Remaining with yesterday, DC Muzaffarabad summoned Malik Waseem's elder brother Malik Naeem to his office - on the pretext that he wanted to show him some shelters (fabricated building structures) - for the alternative land that the government of AJK had arranged, as compensation for Malik Waseem and his family (which incidentally is already disputed by two other parties).
DC Muzaffarabad Nadeem Janjua
Leaving aside for now the legal basis for this contrived agreement (blackmail according to Malik Waseem), DC Muzaffarabad is alleged to have kept Malik Naeem restricted to the former's office all day and ended with open threats to the latter. Ranging from, "Bring your brother Malik Waseem here or else I will make all hell break loose on your family once again," to "This time I detain your brother, I promise you that you will never ever see him again," to "Go get lost, you will not get any land" and "Go to Modi, where you belong!" etc.
Meanwhile, this is how Malik Waseem may have felt on January the 17th 2022:
Meanwhile, the following was a protest outside national press club Islamabad today, by students in response to Punjabi students conducting a lethal attack on Kashmiri students at Qaid e Azam University a few days ago. They demanded that the attackers be immediately arrested:
Some words of wisdom a day can also become a daily feature:
Translation:
All ruined nations that have been mentioned in the Holy Qur'an,
not a single one of these nations were ruined because they
abandoned fasting, haj (pilgrimage) or zakat (alms-giving)....
Rather weighing less (goods on weighing scale), bribery, not delivering justice, usurping someone's right, contaminating (food, drink or other material), killing someone unjustly; indeed, if we put it in simple terms it is the duties we owe to humanity (that we neglect and lead to the destruction of nations).
End of translation....
.........
It is understood that Malik Waseem is due to 'appear' before DC Muzaffarabad today, after 16 days of solitary confinement in Raara jail, Muzaffarabad and still without access to a lawyer or legal defence of any kind.
Meanwhile, we are still working hard to get him a lawyer via an human rights organisation of global repute.
Update 1600hrs:
We understood Malik Waseem has been released but under what conditions is yet unclear. I haven't spoken to him yet but have requested sources to ask him to send an audio or written statement on the subject. If need be, we will also summon him to Shaheed Chowk Kotli.
.......
We learn that various newspapers have begun publishing news with reference to the 'Public Policy Workshop' at Shaheed Chowk. Here are a couple of examples from today:
....
It is quite revealing to note the comments on the following Facebook post, in reference to the K2 mountain range and the question as to which country it is located in. All comments unanimously describe it being in Jammu Kashmir & Allied areas (JKA). Whereas the outside world have always described it as being a part of Pakistan!
So much for the fierce contestation of territory:
....
It's always heartening to see my co-citizens amplifying my message on their own initiative and creative urge:
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
End of translation....

Our transmission was early today, in light of Rauf Kashmiri Sahaab of Palandri's visit:

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۔
جو در گیا سمجھو مار گیا...

Update 1732hrs:
We need a large digital counter (a screen for counting the balance of AJK Public Treasury) in real time.
Most of us want the world to move at our pace but the world always has other ideas.

Update 1844hrs:
What is government? What are Public? What is direct democracy? What is autocratic constitutionalism to democratic constitutionalism?

Another update on Malik Waseem by journalist Fazal ur Rehman:
......
We received solidarity and obtained crucial intervention on the AJK administration issue of yesterday, from Bradford in the UK today. Many thanks to Zahoor Ali:
Throughout the day, I sensed that the Spring of 2022 has arrived, on the 50th day of the year.
The temperature has decreased, the air has changed and the kind of creatures that usually surface in spring are becoming visible.
.......
Well noted by Dr Nazir Gilani:
Dr.#Qadeer#Khan died on 10 October 2021. His writ petition seeking #Freedom of Movement has been fixed for hearing before the single judge of Supreme Court on 24 February 2022. This explains why World Justice Project ranked #Pakistan 130 out of 139 countries on rule of law.
Mahmood Ahmed Musafir was our distinguished guest today:
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).
AJK Public Agency

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:
.......
Journalist Fazal ur Rehman of Smaahni is at full steam and on the ball:
......
A circular was sent out in the evening to 10 'nationalist' political parties of AJK in Urdu:
کوٹلی شہید چوک ۔۔
ملک وسیم اور ان کی فیملی کے ایشو پر کل شام 6 بجے شہید چوک کوٹلی میں سب ہم وطنوں کوبشمول جتنے بھی سیاسی پارٹیوں کے عہدےداران ہیں ۔ایک منفرد اجتماع جس میں آپ کی شرکت پوری قوم کے لیے ایک پیشرفت ہوگی ۔۔۔
Here's the Roman Urdu version of the invite:
Malik Waseem aur family ke issue par kal 6 bajey shaam ko Shaheed Chowk Kotli me daawat hay sab humwatano ko, baashamool jitney bhi political party audidaar han....Aik munfarid ijtima hoga aur aap ki shirkat puri quom ke liye aik peshraft hogi...

Another visit just after midnight....this time by a notable local political leader of the PPP (Pakistan People's Party) Farhat Abbas Kazmi. He was accompanied by some notable local journalists and followers of Kazmi Sahaab.
Thanks also to Shehzad Rathore journalist and Siddiq Rathore of the JKLF, in particular. The media coverage was provided by TNN (Taiz News Network) based locally in Kotli.
.....
I'm really heartened to know that the public of AJK is protecting me. That is enough for our collective success.
What happened to our students (both male and female) at AJK University Muzaffarabad in reaction to protesting their right to have online examinations is shameful and despicable behaviour, on the part of the administration:

Meanwhile, at around midday we had the following spectacle to witness passing by our 'Public Policy Workshop':
#AJKPM arrival n #Kotli U would imagine we lived in 1 of the most culturally thriving societies in the world, given the fanfare. We should know that #AJK has amongst the worst educational, health, justice, environmental and scope for economic opportunities delivery in the world. pic.twitter.com/ra9Z765XT5
Others in the diaspora - particularly in Luton - are doing their bit to mobilise the masses. Many thanks to Aqeel Butt of Kotli and Luton:
......
Here's an example of democratic behaviour emerging in AJK:

An example of democratic behaviour capable of being emulated.

........
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!
End of report...
An Urdu rendition of the above update:
رتن سنگھ،سردار سنگھ نلوچی مظفرآبادزیرقبضہ پاکستان
کی جائیداد متروکہ قابض ملک وسیم بیدخلی مروجہ سسٹم آزاد جموں کشمیر
از سے نو حکم امتناعی جاری ملک وسیم کی فیملی کا از سر نو حکم امتناعی ملنے کے بعد قبضہ کی بجالی کی اطلاعات تاھم نوعیت اور تفصیلات ملنا باقی ھیں۔۔
ملک وسیم بدستور بند حوالات ھے شنید ھے کہ 16 ایم پی او کے تحت یہ حراست یا گرفتاری ھے۔۔
ملک وسیم اسکی فیملی و برادر کو رضاکارانہ طور پر دستبرداری کے لیے حربے استعمال ھو رھے ھیں انکے بھائی نعیم ملک کو بھی 16 MPO کے تحت گرفتار کرنے اور یوں دستبردار ھونے کے اسکے علاؤہ بھی حربے آزمائے جا رھے ھیں یا نہیں۔۔
یہ سب قابل تحقیق تو ضرور ھے اور رتن سنگھ سردار سنگھ کی متروکہ املاک یا آراضی و جائیداد ملکیتی حثیت کی تنسیخ تو کسی صورت ممکن نہیں۔۔ ریاست کا فیصلہ ھونا ابھی تک باقی ھے۔۔ عدالتیں تو مروجہ نظام اور سسٹم کے مطابق فیصلے دیتی ھیں لیکن اس بظاہر جاری و ساری نظام کی نوعیت تو حتمی و قطعی قرار دینے کی پوزیشن تو ابھی کلیر نہیں۔۔
یہ بھی شنید ھے کہ سوشل میڈیا پر اس ایشو کے ہائی لائٹ نہ ھونے دیا جاسکے ایسی خواہشات کا مظفرآباد انتظامیہ کی طرف سے ظاہر ھونا اور محسوس ھونا یا محسوس نہ ھونے دینے اگرچہ اس کی تردید یا تصدیق باقی ھے لیکن ایسا ھونا عجب بھی نہیں۔۔
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۔۔

The 5 prospective members of the District Constitutional Conciliation Committee - Kotli...from a JKA nationalist perspective.
Remember that the committee comprises of 10 members and the other 5 will be from the Pakistani nationalist perspective, comprising of 5 current or former MLAs of district Kotli.

4) Secretary Iqbal - Charoi
5) Raja Haq Nawaz - Sehnsa
It should also be noted that all the above were nominated by the public, not me. If anybody disagrees with any of the above they can object and suggest an alternative. If so, I will put the relevant nominations to the public once more.
..........
Other activists and journalists - both at home and abroad - are zeroing in on Malik
Waseem's issue:
If you can't read the text in the post above, here it is:
This is Malik Waseem behind bars: For the crime of protecting his home and family and refusing to forgo a claim to stay on land that he has been living on since 1949 in AJK. He had been evicted and was legally fighting to get the land back. He has a stay of order from the court to not disturb him but the police still evicted him.
It is another side of the Kashmir dispute where many Kashmiris are working in the AJK territory to see a change to various legislations and public policy that will give Kashmiris in AJK more license to be their own voice. They would have more say over the entire region and dialogue as to how they can move forward.
Malik Waseem is a third generation refugee from Kupwara in IOK. Ratan Singh was the original owner but was either killed or displaced in 1949 after forced migrations and killings by religious communities at the time. The land is described as"Evacuee Property."
A search is underway by Malik's family, legal team and supporters for the descendants of the original owner but it is India in this case who have all the land records and upon being asked will not release them.
It seems to be a very sad state of affairs and an example of removing someone unfairly from land they have been living on since 1949 and now the local officials want to reclaim it and sell it for money. It is senseless to jail for someone for standing up for their rights in a just and fair way.
Malik Waseem and his family should surely be allowed to stay on that land. It does not seem right or fair to make them homeless.
