The official website of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) was defaced Wednesday by a team of Indian hackers, slamming PPP patron-in-chief Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari for his recent statement on Kashmir.
A group calling themselves the 'Indian Hackers Online Squad' replaced the website's homepage with messages ridiculing Bilawal for his comments, and claiming that “will never get Kashmir”.
“To Citizens of Pakistan, Pakistan's Army, Pakistan Peoples Party and Specially Mr. Bilawal Bhutto . Without any Violence Let Me tell you that Pakistan will never Get Kashmir. This is the Truth. You Have to Accept it,” said the message left by the hackers on the PPP official website.
Last month, Bilawal was reported to have said that party would get back entire Kashmir for his country.
“I will take back Kashmir, all of it, and I will not leave behind a single inch of it because, like the other provinces, it belongs to Pakistan,” he was quoted as saying.
Bilawal’s statement was not taken well on the other side of the border.
A spokesperson for India's Ministry of External Affairs had responded by terming Bilawal's comment “far from reality which takes us back into the past century”.
Update: Undeterred by reaction from the Indian side, Bilawal later posted a message on Twitter in what appeared to be a response to the hacking of the website.
"My 2 statements have robbed Hindustan of its sleep. This is just the beginning. Wait and see what happens next. Kashmir will become Pakistan!" he said.

Indians can't tolerate criticism.
And yes Dawn is also under threat from these Indians liking own posts, specially when it comes to mentioning Indian name any where in Dawn news. There is something fishy being done here by these people! Hope Dawn requires login for comments and "likes" to avoid these trolls.
And yea Indians you cam comment on above statement and get likes by fake ID's. Dawn is an open news paper unlike news papers in India which suppress freedom of speech.

Indians should stop subverting the issue of Kashmir. And they should stop being blind to the atrocities committed in Kashmir by the Indian army.
Having said that, I also disagree with baby bhutto. Kashmir is not Pakistan's either. Pakistan has really done much for Kashmir in decades. In face baby bhutto's own PPP govt swept the issues under a rug for 3 terms.
I agree with IK's stance. Kashmiris should be allowed to make their own decision and have a referendum to decide their fate.
And I'm sure most would choose independence.

How come hacked page is still alive? It should be quickly taken down by their own moderators :blocked till further notice. But as it seems nothing is being done by PPP website, it is open for whole world to see, to gain sympathy and show Indians in poor light, suggests that it may be done by PPP itself. Bilawal thes days trying all kind of tactics to gain sympathy, he apologised earlier too, made video message etc. this is all "saazish" of PPP.

@Ahmed Are u really a person of muslim background?? I doubt it sir. Well Kashmir belongs only to Kashmiris .Do not drag religion into it .Kashmiri muslims lived there even before Islam was born , back then as Hindus , Buddhists or believers of some other religion . These Kashmiri Rajputs , Gujjars , Khatris & Pandits are the original people . They are the descendants of Kalhana , Emperor Lalitaditya , Abhinavgupta , Jayant Bhatt etc .In 13-14 century the majority of this native population was converted by around 300 Syed preachers who came alongside Kashmir's Iranian-origin ShahMir Dynasty. With this later Syeds , Mughals & Pathans also settled in this region as conquerors at different times . Now this is called the Kashmiri population ,only a minuscle 4% of this is Hindu . So I hope I have told what Kashmir is beyond Religion , to both Indian Hindu & Pakistani muslim chauvanists

Maybe what Bilawal should have said, in a manner similar to his grandfather's famous statement " We will all eat grass, but get a vehicle successfully to Mars ". And maybe he should learn about successful political diplomacy too - his grandfather was in the front-line of negotiating the repatriation of 93,000 of an army that were unwitting prisoners in India, the biggest ever in the history of humankind. Thumbs up to Granddad Bhutto; beta has a long long way to go. Hope Dawn will publish this !

I thought it was slip of tongue when he said first time but it doesn't seem to be so. If he is dreaming that Indians will give away Kashmir, that is definitely will never happen.
At least he is direct in saying Kashmir will be part of Pakistan unlike many Pakistanis who cunningly pose as if they are fighting for Kashmiris' rights.
Current crisis is great platform for politicians to play games with people's emotions and gain political mileage. There simply is no solution to Kashmir than continuing status quo, and it will remain same except few hundred civilians die on both sides because of this continued cross border firing. Losers in the end will be innocent citizens living near the border.
