Pakistan is continuing India bashing right from 1947 and is using all its resources in resorting to anti-India propaganda. Apart from tribal-cum-military raid of 1947, the best available method with Pakistan at that time was the strong network of Radio stations, which were exclusively used for anti-India propaganda. The trend continued in every war, intrusions and ongoing proxy war. Even during peace times, Pakistan strategically used its media, ( print, digital and electronic) to spread canards against India and at the same time, to rouse the religious frenzy among Muslims of Jammu and Kashmir to revolt against the Indian Union, an unscrupulous mission in which it has failed completely.
The media harped over Pakistan’s claim on Jammu and Kashmir based on the two-nation theory, ignoring the fact that the same has already been debunked by history itself. The target of Pakistan’s propaganda has indeed been India and the Indian People. Its victims are increasingly the people of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) , fed on falsehoods and rendered vulnerable to the voices of extremism. This needs to be countered. We at Kashmir Rechords, shall make a solemn effort to further Indian Government’s cause to liberate Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, for which we are bound by the Parliament Resolution of 1994.
Over the past 75 years, it appears, little efforts have been made in reclaiming Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, illegally under the occupation of Pakistan. However, with a changing political landscape over the past few years and tough and determined measures taken by the present Union Government at New Delhi, the idea to have merger of PoK with J&K can be visualised and given a shape as well. This has primarily happened due to the complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir by converting it into a Union Territory on August 5, 2019 by “The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019’’ after the abolition of Article 370 and 35A.
New Political Map of Jammu and Kashmir
Further, on November 2, 2019, the Survey General of India came out with a new Political Map for entire UT of J&K comprising 22 districts including Muzaffarabad and Mirpur. The districts in UT of J&K, as per the new map, include Kathua, Jammu, Samba, Udhampur, Doda, Kishtwar, Rajouri,Reasi, Ramban, Poonch, Kulgam, Shopian, Srinagar,Anantnag, Budgam, Pulwama, Ganderbal, Bandipora, Baramulla, Kupwara, Mirpur and Muzaffarabad.
Apart from Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, recasting of Political Map of India by showing Muzaffarabad and Mirpur as two districts of Union territory of J&K and further the political unrest in Pakistan occupied J&K, wherefrom indications have recently poured in that the people of the divided Union Territory want to be merged with India, Kashmir Rechords can thus further push the Government’s resolve for total Integration of the territory by helping in building pro-India perception through its blogs, write-ups and to help people know the real story of the other side of Kashmir.
Parliament Resolution of 1994 to reclaim PoK
In addition, the Government is also bound by the Parliament Resolution of 1994 to reclaim the portion, which is under the illegal occupation of Pakistan. Then what are we waiting for?
As per this Resolution, passed on February 22, 1994, the Parliament of India unanimously resolved that Pakistan must vacate the areas of Jammu and Kashmir, which they have occupied through aggression. It was further resolved by the Parliament that all attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of India would be met resolutely.
Also, as per the recent delimitation of the Assembly Constituencies of J&K UT, out of the total 114 Assembly segments, 24 Assembly Constituencies have been reserved for the areas under POK.
Thus, the idea to subscribe, promote and patronise Kashmir Rechords will be of immense help to achieve India’s vital strategic and national goals. Its material can further be a direct attack on the psyche of Pakistani establishment, who all these years have taken India for granted while spitting venom through its electronic, print and other media channels and fed all the falsehoods to the people of Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
