New Delhi, April 11: Imran Khan's last address as Prime Minister to his nation on Friday comes, inter alia, as an unprecedented eye-opener for a section of the Kashmiris who have been yelling "Kashmir banega Pakistan" and "Pakistan se rishta kya, la ilaha illallah" since 1989.
The first one is Pakistan's official slogan which, written on a big board, greeted the Kashmiri passengers of the cross-LoC bus immediately after treading the Aman Setu foot bridge in Uri, till 2019 when Mufti Sayeed's dream service ended in a fiasco. Such boards still stand at many places in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The slogan means: "Kashmir will one day become an integral part of Pakistan."
The second one, promoted by the pro-Pakistan groups like Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and its guerrilla arm, Hizbul Mujahideen ran parallel to the separatists' slogan of "Ham kya chahte: Azadi". Political commentators insist that 'azadi' was nothing but a camouflage in Operation Tupac. They call it part-1 of Gen Zia's cryogenic engine for Kashmir's annexation to Pakistan. It stresses on Kashmir's assimilation in Pakistan on the basis of the commonality of religion
