“The US Senate has passed its draft of the
National Defense Authorization Bill, which includes provision to set up a new
fund to reimburse Pakistan for its efforts in war against terrorism.
The $800 million
has been authorized under a provision called the ‘Pakistan Security Enhancement
Authorisation’, reports Dawn.
It also noted that
after 9/11, Islamabad has been a vital partner of Washington in efforts to
combat terrorism in South Asia.”
Pakistan is in confidence
after being funded, and is piping song of Kashmir.
The diplomatic propaganda of Pakistan at world forum has been proved
fail so far because the democratic government in militant-hit state is in existence.
Mehbooba Mufti, in
Srinagar before starting her tenure, had held close door meetings with senior
party leaders and parliament members, Tariq Hameed Karra and Muzaffar Hussain
Baig before she finalized the list of ministers who took oath along with Mehbooba
Mufti.
Q- Why did you boycott Mehbooba’s swearing-in ceremony? An interview of Tariq Hameed Karra to Kasmir Reader on Aril 5, 2016
ANS-“In today’s scenario, all of them (Naeem
Akhtar, Haseeb Drabu and Altaf Bukhari) are hate icons. So I want some course
correction and Mehbooba sought options. I told her to drop the trio, and if she
still felt other people in the party are dumb, she can make Naeem as chairman
of the Legislative Council.
The post has been denigrated by appointing
class 8 pass man as the chairman.
I told her to either drop Drabu or change his portfolio because he was creating chaos and confusion between the PDP and BJP. He is trying to become indispensable.
On April 1, she promised me that she would discuss the matter further on April 3 in Jammu. Mehbooba told me if I am not convinced then don’t attend my swearing-in ceremony. I was forcibly brought from Chandigarh yesterday but was astonished to hear say that she will not drop any of them. And she will only change Bukhari’s portfolio.”

Jammu and Kashmir
Chief Minister (Since April 2016) Mehbooba Mufti won in the Anantnag Assembly
by-election by 12,085 votes in June this year, proving that her
popularity remains unaffected by her PDP’s decision to ally with the BJP.
The PDP MP from
Srinagar parliamentary constituency Tariq Hameed Karra said last week he was
forced to take the extreme step to register his "strong protest"
against the unabated killings, grievous injuries and "repression and
suppression" let loose on the people of Kashmir and the "failure of
Parliament", Centre and Jammu and Kashmir government "to find a way
out of this painful situation".
"The
prevailing situation in Kashmir is not only alarming but tragic as well. Every
single day... the number of injured is out numbering hospital capacities and
the number of arrested is out numbering the lock ups," he said.
"I am
resigning from the basic membership of the PDP as I cannot side with the
bloodbath of Kashmiris," Mr Mandoo, who was senior vice president of the
party's Srinagar unit, told reporters in Srinagar.
In a set back to
the ruling PDP, party leader Nisar Ahmad Mandoo resigned from the party saying
he cannot side with "bloodbath" of Kashmiris.
What is bickering
over inside story among political turmoil is hour of analysis; but it is clear
with the steps that have been taken unilaterally by the PDP leaders must be
scanned by the centre.
The Central
Government said Pakistan has been fuelling the unrest in Kashmir -
triggered by the killing of Burhan Wani on July 8 -- by pumping in terrorists
into the Valley. Sources in investigative agencies have also said a great
amount of money was being sent from Pakistan. Pakistan receives fund to combat
a war against terrorism, but the fairness of Pakistani expenditure for the
purpose should be scrutinized.
The army has said
the four terrorists - who were killed after a three-hour operation -- were
foreign and initial reports indicated that they belonged to Jaish-e-Mohammad, a
Pakistan-based terror group. The same group was involved in the attack at the
Pathankot air base in January, in which 7 army men were killed.
Ms Mufti conveyed her condolences to bereaved families and said she would pray for the early recovery of those injured in the attack is also caused resentment among the separatists.

Since she took over charge of government, the separatists in
Kashmir started to unite against the PDP, and the over-ground followers of hard
liners now have begun rising the voice.
The Hurriyat also
condemned the killing of another youth in Baramulla district of north Kashmir
yesterday it asked the ruling politicians to use their influence with the
Centre and Indian civil society to persuade them to immediately put an end to
the violence and “seriously work towards a political solution”. Referring to
the resignation of PDP MP Tariq Karra, the Hurriyat said he has shown the way.
