نغمہ حبیب کشمیرسلگ رہا ہے اور دنیا یہ تماشا دیکھ رہی ہے ایسا کچھ اب سے نہیں اس خطے نے جانے کب آزادی کا سورج دیکھا تھا۔ آج سے تقریباًکچھ کم صدی پہلے علامہ اقبال نے افسوس کرتے ہوئے کہا تھا۔ آج وہ کشمیر ہے محکوم و مجبور و فقیر کل جسے اہل نظر کہتے تھے ایران صغیر اس خطے کو کسی نے جنت نظیر کہا کسی نے ایران صغیر کہا کچھ نے فردوس بریں کہا لیکن اس کے قدرتی حسن کی تعریف مکمل نہ ہوئی۔ آج یہی کشمیر ظلم کی چکی میں پس رہ ...

Rejoinder to Praveen Swami by Asif Haroon Raja Praveen Swami in his apparently innocent and well-meaning article titled ‘The Time might have come for India and Pakistan to talk’ has made designed distortions in the recent past history of the two archrivals.
