With Pakistan in turmoil, do you still maintain Kashmir should be a part of Pakistan?
Inshallah! That's my conviction, and that of all Kashmiris. Pakistan is in turmoil because of the Kashmir issue.

Once the Kashmir issue is resolved, the crisis in Pakistan will end. United India was divided on the basis of religion. We want our future to be shaped on the basis of religion too.

Isn't it the Taliban and not the Kashmir issue that has caused the Pak crisis?
The Taliban issue is the creation of a few agencies like the CIA, Mossad and RAW, who want to destabilise Pakistan.u00a0Tehreek-e-Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud is playing into the hands of these agencies.

How can you blame India for the growing influence of Taliban in Pakistan?
India is supporting the Taliban to wreck havoc in Pakistan. But India will learn her lesson. The Taliban will destabilise India.

Are you anti-India?
Yes. India is anti-Muslim. Hindu fundamentalist groups like the Shiv Sena and the BJP attack Muslims and get away with it.u00a0 The Supreme Court recently dismissed a petition by a Muslim student seeking permission to sport a beard. How can I be pro-India?

Aren't some separatistsu00a0 fighting elections?
Sajjad Lone is a false separatist. He has exposed his true colours by participating in the elections. Even Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is a puppet in the hands of the Indian government.

You oppose Valentine's Day, women's lib and inter-religious marriages like Hindu fundamentalist groups.
We may have similar views on some issues, but we would never beat up women like the Shri Ram Sene. Also, they are anti-Muslim so there can be no comparisons.
