PM @ImranKhanPTI has pledged to allow the people of Kashmir the right to independence "if"residents of the disputed territory were to vote for joining Pak in a UN-mandated plebiscite, delayed for decades. This master stroke by the skipper has left opponents gasping. Here's why:
The truth is that @ImranKhanPTI has reiterated the stance that has been consistent with Pakistan- the stance that Kashmir dispute can 'only' be resolved by implementing the plebiscite guaranteed in UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions. An uncomfortable truth for India as well.
His statement will immediately get international acclaim , in particular in neighboring #India. The words and actions of two states will be widely in contrast. On one hand, it's Pakistan ,so sincere to the Kashmir cause and the lives of Kashmiris, the human angle being the first.
While on the other hand, is draconian #Nazi regime of @narendramodi
suppressing humanity in Kashmir, robbing them off their freedom and basic rights. @ImranKhanPTI said,
“This is the difference between the two states."It's now a battle of evil vs good with Paki being the latter

@ImranKhanPTI also took this opportunity to state the clear stance that Paki wants dialogue but before that, India will have to restore the pre-Aug 5, 2019 status of the occupied land. This is now being written in concrete. In other words, that's the basic minimum requirement.
This has also given a clear message to those who have been propagating "selling of Kashmir" for days. With one strike, the whole narrative has fallen like a pack of cards. The pressure now is on opposition, both in AJK and in mainstream Pakistan, but also across the border.
