This page is dedicated for politics here
in the UK and back at home in Kashmir. In my opinion both go hand in hand.
Of Pakistani residing in UK majority (90%) are most probably from Azad
Kashmir. The 1st generation was that of those economic migrants who came
during General Ayyub's Government in Pakistan and were the direct result
of the dam's flooding in 1960s. These people lived under great hardship
and poor living conditions in UK during their early days. They worked
as general laborers in manufacturing industry and the earning were sent
to develop their families and communities back in Kashmir. During the
70's and 80's their families joined them and this next generation took
off in education & commerce. 90's saw a financial stability. During
2000 onwards we saw Pakistani/ Kashmiri people participating in local
politics and taking positions of councilors, Mayors, Lords and MPs in
the UK. Also some candidates went from UK to participate in Kashmir elections
and take on similar positions there too.
Bearing in mind our history and now
the current political climate, what can possibly be done to bring this
nation of Jarrals back to 'A nation that leads rather than a nation
that's led'. During the 2006 AJK elections, we have had four Jarral
candidates standing for the legislative assembly which includes Prof.
Mirza Afzal from Mirpur (PPP) - lost, Mirza Shafique Jarral from Burnala
(MC) - won, Major (Rtd) Munsaf Dad Khan from Charhoi - won(MC). May
Allah SWT guide them further in leading us forward in the political
arena.
