100 IPRI Factfile India. The meeting of the 56-nation grouping of Islamic countries in New York earlier this week issued a statement, saying it supported people of Jammu and Kashmir in realisation of their legitimate right of self determination in accordance with relevant UN resolutions and aspirations of Kashmiri people. The Indian Government has already given a strong rejoinder, condemning and rejecting the OIC statement. A government spokesman said: "It is regrettable that the OIC has commented on India's internal affairs. We condemn and reject this." "Inherent in OIC's statements and actions on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir is a complete inability to understand India's position," he added. " • October 14 2009: Indian home minister P Chidambaram states he is willing to talk to every section in J&K. The stage seems set to restart the stalled talks with separatists. Union home minister P Chidambaram has said, "We will have a dialogue with every section of the people of Jammu & Kashmir. We mean dialogue process will start and it will be carried to its logical conclusion." • October 14 2009: India objects to Chinese activities in Pakistani administered Kashmir. • October 20 2009: A leader of a Party from Jammu and Kashmir accuses Indian 'Govt changing Kashmir demography'. • November 24 2009: A delegation from the European Union issued a statement that Kashmir is an integral part of India. Lord Olof Lindgren, the head of the European Union delegation, stated that it is the opinion of the European Union that Kashmir is an integral part of India. However, he also said they were concerned about the human rights violation in Indian administered Kashmir. "Well, there are a lot of human rights issues that we are looking into. I cannot go into the details of those but those are of concern to the European Union and we discussed them with the Indian government and we have met the Human Rights Commissioner in the state. So we will follow these things with interest like we follow the situation in all parts of India". The EU delegation also said Kashmir needs a solution through peaceful talks between India, Pakistan and concerned people in Kashmir. • November 24 2009: A party from Jammu and Kashmir has said it was committed to a meaningful dialogue. Unless and until India takes steps as suggested by us no dialogue is possible.
Whither Kashmir? 101 • December 02 2009: A Kashmir based group, International People's Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice, said that it had found 2600 bodies in unmarked graves during a three year survey. While the group did not who the buried were, it alleged that some could be innocent people killed by security force, and called for an investigation. • December 04 2009: Unidentified men shot and critically injured Fazal Haque Qureshi, the senior most separatist leader and an important executive member of the moderate Hurriyat Conference in Srinagar. According to senior police officials, the attempt on the life of Qureshi was to "stall" the imminent dialogue process between New Delhi and the Hurriyat Conference. However, New Delhi and the separatist conglomerate (Hurriyat) reaffirmed its commitment to the dialogue process. The Al-Nasireen, a littleknown guerrilla group believed to be an operational combine of the Hizbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba terror groups, has owned responsibility for the attack. • December 09 2009: Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari asked for United States to mediate between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir issue in his Op-ed in the New York Times. • December 11 2009: United States ruled out any mediatory role in Kashmir stating that it should be resolved ultimately between Pakistan and India with the active involvement of the people of Kashmir. • December 18, 2009: India withdraws 30,000 troops from Kashmir in one of the largest troop withdrawals in response to dramatic improvement in security situation. India is believed to have 500,000 to 700,000 army and paramilitary soldiers in the portion of Kashmir it controls. The army won't confirm its deployment levels. • December 22 2009: A 'Row over World Bank's Kashmir clause' happened between Indian Government and the World Bank. The contested clause where the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir government loan will 'not be treated as a certificate that the disputed territory' was an integral part of India' (the disputed territory is Jammu and Kashmir). Indian finance minister Pranab Mukherjee has assured that the Indian government will oppose the contested disclaimer clause.
