[Reader-list] Siddharth Vardarajan on why Pak didn't disrupt Kashmir polls

[Shivam V]

If the principal reason for a high voter turnout during the
recent assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir was the absence of
militant violence, to what extent was Pakistan responsible for
ensuring that extremist groups operating from its territory did not
disrupt the polls? The question is important because this
"non-interference" -- for which no less a person than Farooq Abdullah,
leader of the victorious National Conference, publicly thanked
Islamabad on Sunday -- seems to be at variance with New Delhi's
understanding of what Pakistani policy vis-à-vis India is in the wake
of last month's dramatic terrorist attack on Mumbai.
