Re-invigorating the 'maloomaat' concept via SMS

In light of the greater responsiveness of SMS in formulating public opinion in AJK (Azad Jammu Kashmir - also referred to as P-A-K Pakistani-administered Kashmir or P-O-K Pakistani Occupied Kashmir), I've decided to put up my SMS interaction online (though I won't be mentioning names - to protect the public's privacy).

Please also refer to my blog post:

Question:
Should the State 'subject' rule b restored in Gilgit Baltistan and converted to a State 'Citizen' Rule (applicable to AJK too) Yes? No? DkN?




250 polled
29 responded with Yes
4 responded with DkN (Don't Know)
1 responded with No


Received this message from a correspondent working for a British newspaper:

"Pls take me off this mailing list."
I say:
- It's little wonder that British Media has barely (if) ever encroached upon the subject of AJK.

Quotes:


"SSRules have been held in defacto abbeyance in GB. Its restoration will protect economic rights of indigenous population. But who will do it? Sham provincial govt? Islamabad?"
My Response (MR):
The public through a technocratic mechanism that it has to create, mould & recognise in a consultative manner.

"very defficult in gilgit due to current setuation, but should be try in a AJK."

"Gb walu ko ajk may state subject man lay to gb may yes"

"hum ap ki es kosassh ko sarahty hain?bht acha kam kr rhy hy ap?"

"Jis kashmir ko khone say saincha woh kashmir HUMARA hai"


Also, messages sent to two members of Chief Secretary AJK's Office:

I will be sending the Chief Secretary a request via email (today) to attend a public forum in Muzaffarabad on Sat. 22nd Oct. between 11am-2pm...pls take note
