MUZAFFARABAD/CHAKOTHI, Pakistan - Three decades ago, Ali Mohamad says he made a trip into Indian-controlled Kashmir to join a small armed militant group. Now he works in a shop on the Pakistani side of the region, but he hasn’t given up thoughts of returning to the conflict.
“I have not left, we are all watching”, he said, adding that he believes all Kashmiris will take up arms when needed. The constitutional change will mean that non-residents will be able to buy property, get government jobs and take college places in the state, to the fury of arch-rival Pakistan, which claims the region as its own and accuses India of trying to change the demographics of its only Muslim-majority state.
“If the situation continues it might compel us to take up arms again. It is not just me, there are many others.”
