“Pakistan only sends poor quality and unhealthy things, without any controls imposed by
the Afghan government,” said Rahim Khan, a shopkeeper in Afghanistan whose general
store is packed with goods from his unloved neighbour.
“This agreement is totally to the advantage of Pakistan.
They should allow Afghan traders to bring Indian goods into the country, why are we
forced to just use Pakistani products?” (Dawn)
INDIA / HINDISTAN
Moderate Kashmiri separatist Mirwaiz Umar Farooq's remarks at a seminar in Kolkata
provoked protests, with BJP's youth wing activists blocking his way and throwing eggs at
his car on Sunday.
The incident came three days after a group of Kashmiri Pandits and right-wing activists
assaulted him and another moderate separatist, Bilal Lone, at a seminar in Chandigarh
on Thursday. The activists had punched and slapped the Mirwaiz there and vandalised
the seminar venue. In his speech at the Kolkata seminar titled 'Kashmir: A Way Out', he
described Kashmir as a ''disputed land'' and said the ''the Indian government should
realise the strong sentiments of the Valley's people for azadi''.
As soon as he left the seminar venue, a group of activists from BJP students' wing, AVBP,
surrounded his car and threw eggs at it. The protesters, carrying banners, saying 'Bharat
Ek Hai' and 'Mirwaiz Murdabad', waved sticks with shoes tied to them. Police whisked
away the Mirwaiz and arrested 22 activists including a woman. ''Kashmir is a disputed
land and we want a solution,'' said the Mirwaiz, while replying to former Army chief
Shankar Roy Chowdhury's question whether he considered Jammu & Kashmir a part of
India.
