The ruling elite of Pakistan and India are still trying to live in a fool’s paradise. Conflicts need resolutions to guarantee a peace and stability not to sweep it under the carpet. The aspirations of the people of Kashmir to right to self-determination are non-negotiable. The people from Lakhanpure to Hunza and from Ladakh to Mangla, have yet to exercise their right to self-determination.

I wonder, if Pakistani ruling elite expecting Kashmiri as well as World Community to see a difference, in comparing it with India, the "favour and only favour” Pakistan can do; to inform UN Security Council of its troops withdrawal plan from AJK and GB. The UNSC would take the issue into its own hands. The International Law would take its course and would directly deal with India to address the question of right to self-determination peacefully and democratically. The dirty games of India and Pakistan had and have been played-out on our soil for last 64 years that has given us nothing except deaths and destruction. Pakistani rulers had and have been busy to turn Pakistani soil itself into a hub of mercenary-production, to meet a market demand for its rich clients. This aspect of their policy has achieved nothing in favour of its own people but deaths and destructions. The very defence and security establishment of that unfortunate country itself become security threat to lives and property of the people of Pakistan.

It is time for them to re-think and think rationally to lead the change otherwise the nature would take its own course.
