🚨| Shehbaz Sharif, Your Kashmir History Starts Five Days Too Late Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif says a “long night” fell over Jammu & Kashmir when Indian troops landed in Srinagar on 27 October 1947. There is one problem. His history begins five days too late. 📍 22 October 1947: Tribal forces crossed into J&K from Pakistan and advanced towards Srinagar. The invasion ravaged towns along the route. Contemporary reporting from Baramulla documented looting, killings and sexual violence by the raiders. Even Sheikh Abdullah later told the UN that the invading tribesmen had massacred Kashmiris — including Muslims. 📍 26 October: Maharaja Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession to India and sought military assistance. 📍 27 October: India accepted the accession and airlifted troops into Srinagar. So no, Shehbaz. The Indian Army did not arrive and start the invasion. It arrived because the invasion was already heading towards Srinagar. ⚔️ And Pakistan’s role was hardly invisible Pakistan long portrayed the assault as a spontaneous tribal uprising. Yet Pakistani Army officer Major-General Akbar Khan later wrote about the operation in Raiders in Kashmir, while Indian military accounts identify the invasion plan as Operation Gulmarg. Major Onkar Singh Kalkat also later described encountering a secret invasion plan before the assault began. The precise archival provenance of the “Gulmarg” papers remains debated. The invasion from Pakistan does not. 📜 Shehbaz also invokes the UN. Read Resolution 47 properly. The first major demilitarisation requirement was for Pakistan to secure the withdrawal of tribesmen and Pakistani nationals who had entered J&K to fight, and prevent further material support. Only after that was India expected to progressively reduce its own forces before conditions for a plebiscite could be created. Pakistan loves quoting the plebiscite. It is rather quieter about Step One. 🧠 And Islamabad preaching “Kashmiri self-determination” is rich Human Rights Watch documented how Pakistan-administered Kashmir has operated under heavy political control from Islamabad, including constitutional restrictions against political activity challenging accession to Pakistan. When Kashmiris in Poonch rebelled against Pakistan-administered authorities in 1955, Pakistan deployed the Punjab Constabulary and Army’s 12th Division. Pakistan’s own Express Tribune later described villages being burnt, people killed and prisoners subjected to harsh treatment. And for all Islamabad’s chest-thumping about preserving “Kashmiri identity”, Kashmiri itself is today spoken by only a small minority in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, where Pahari is overwhelmingly dominant. Pakistan demands self-determination across the LoC. On its own side, dissent has repeatedly met central control, security crackdowns and political restrictions. 🎯 Strategic Lens Shehbaz wants the story to begin with Indian Dakotas landing at Srinagar. History refuses to cooperate. 22 October → Invasion 26 October → Accession 27 October → Indian military intervention You cannot erase the first two dates and then lecture everyone about the third. Pakistan did not arrive in Kashmir as its liberator. It arrived with armed raiders — and has spent 79 years trying to rewrite what happened next. #JammuKashmir #Pakistan #ShehbazSharif #Kashmir #OpGridIndia

🚨| PLA’s 'Elite' 112th Formation Faces Explosive Civilian Abuse Allegations A detailed Chinese-language complaint circulating online accuses several senior officers associated with the PLA’s former 38th Group Army — reorganised into today’s 82nd Group Army — of serious abuses against civilians. The allegations include: • Violent assault • Robbery and vandalism • Illegal detention • Abuse and unlawful searches • Repeated intimidation of civilians • Police allegedly refusing to pursue complaints 📍 The 2015 Baoding incident The complainant alleges that on 26 November 2015, more than 20 personnel linked to PLA units 66336 and 66157 attacked civilians at the Baoding entrance of the Beijing–Hong Kong–Macau Expressway using hammers, electric batons and handcuffs. The post claims the incident was captured on toll-station CCTV and repeatedly reported to police — without meaningful action. 🧠 But the officers and units are real Public PLA records independently identify Xia Minglong as a senior commander of the formation that became Unit 66336 — the elite former 112th Mechanised Infantry Division/112th Combined Arms Brigade. Open Chinese reporting also confirms that Huang Xuhong served as political commissar of the same formation before later becoming a senior political officer in the PLA and a delegate to the 19th Communist Party Congress. That makes the complaint harder to dismiss as random internet fiction: the named command structure broadly matches real PLA postings. ⚠️ The allegation is ultimately about impunity The complainant says the case was reported repeatedly over several years while Beijing and Hebei authorities failed to act. If that account is accurate, the scandal is larger than one alleged assault. It raises the question of whether senior PLA personnel effectively operated beyond ordinary civilian accountability. #China #PLA #82ndGroupArmy #CCP #ChineseMilitary #MilitaryCorruption #OpGridIndia
