Not very Pak though from Pakistan...

In political life, Sajjad Ghani Lone & Yasin Malik may favor equidistant from India and Pakistan and demand independence of the Kashmir valley from India and Pakistan. But on matters of Heart, they have certainly decided to side with Pakistan.

Sajjad Ghani Lone has  wed the daughter of JKLF Leader Amanullah Khan from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. While, recently Yasin Malik tied the knot with Britain-born Pakistani girl Mushaal Mullick.

Yasin Malik's wife Mushall Mullick is a post-graduate from the London School of Economics and an artist by heart, is the daughter of Rehana Hussain, chief of the Muslim League (women’s wing).

Now the key question is how is going to balance his wife's art and artistic soul & his Islamic fundamentalist Ideology? From his wifes website,  it seems her art work and paintings normally surrounds at the raw beauty of the feminine charm and as far I know all Islamic militants who donot hesitate to punish women not clad in burqa would consider her work and paintings unacceptable & pornographic.

I hope her paintings will encourage him to change the mind set of her husband militant’s friends and they will stop doing all terrorists work, suppression of women and won’t stop girls from going to school and stop bombing girl’s schools in future.

Or is it what Yassin malik donot practice what is he profess?

As Jammu and Kashmir continues to be on the boil over the Amarnath land row, Home Minister Shivraj Patil has said the government was seeking a give and take formula that would satisfy both the regions of the state.

I guess coming from this government it would mean jammu gives, kasmir takes
