There was also protest by the teachers against the arrest of a colleague and the police used baton and tear gas to disperse them. The rigging of election in GB was flagged by the PML-N. Rather than addressing the issue, the government is going ahead with the local elections in GB which is going to be held after thirteen years. Pakistan continues to accuse India of human rights violation in Jammu and Kashmir and is trying to draw world attention to it. Government has announced that it would implement 5 projects in AJK. People in GB continue to protest against unemployment of locals while outsiders are being appointed in the Diamer-Bhasha hydropower project. There is also protest against the extension of Frontier Corp personnel to guard the forest while locals do not have jobs in GB. The delay in granting provincial status to GB remains a major concern and they continue to demand their constitutional rights at par with other provinces of Pakistan. People of GB feel that the Kashmiri representatives have always opposed the idea of making GB a province.

The outgoing Prime Minister Sardar Yaqoob was in office only for ten months since January 2009, when he assumed office after toppling Atiq Ahmed Khan. Atiq Khan was allegedly involved in the overthrow of Yaqoobs's government this time around as is indicated in one of the reports included in this issue. This development reveals the wretched situation of political structures in PoK which are subject to the whims and fancies of the establishment in Pakistan. Not only this, some reports in the issue also point to the fact that the party in power in Pakistan makes use of its position to ensure its interests are best secured in PoK, keeping in view its strategic significance.

Alive and Kicking: The Kashmir Dispute Forty Years Later I. Introduction The Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan involves a struggle between two powers for the possession of a tract of territory which each wants for its own valid reasons. The stakes are of major economic, political and strategic significance to Pakistan, while to India, Kashmir has become a symbol of national prestige and inter- national justice.1 Charges of aggression and violations of interna- tional law have been asserted by both parties. In considering a solu- tion to the Kashmir dispute, it is necessary to look beyond the blatant facts and see the elements that gave rise to the dispute and the circumstances under which it occurred. A purely legalistic approach never solves large political problems. With this in mind, this Comment begins with an examina- tion of the roots of the conflict: Kashmir's economy, geography, predominantly Moslem population and Hindu ruler.
