BREAKING NEWS: We're filing a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's unlawful new $100k fee for H-1B visas. H-1B visas allow U.S. employers—like OSU & U of O—to hire skilled foreign workers in specialized roles like physicians, researchers, & nurses. #orpol #breakingnews

It is deeply troubling when leaders like the Mayor-elect, Mr. Mamdani, invoke figures such as Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru without understanding the historical weight of their words and actions. Nehru’s record is not that of a flawless democrat, but of a statesman who made solemn promises to India’s Parliament, the United Nations, and above all, to the people of Kashmir, promises that he broke. He pledged to withdraw troops, to allow Kashmiris to decide their own future through a free plebiscite, and to honor the will of the people. None of these assurances were kept. When leaders distort or selectively glorify such history, they do more than rewrite the past — they legitimize injustice in the present. Every false narrative erases the pain of those who have lived under oppression since 1947, and every convenient omission deepens the suffering of the voiceless. Leadership demands moral clarity, not sentimental ignorance. If Mr. Mamdani truly believes in human rights and democracy, he must acknowledge the historical truths his words deny. To quote Nehru’s own telegram of October 31, 1947: “We shall withdraw our troops from Kashmir as soon as peace and order is restored and leave the decision to the people of the State.” That promise remains unfulfilled and invoking Nehru as a symbol of democracy without recognizing that betrayal is an affront to justice and to the memory of those who still wait for freedom. @POTUS @POTUS44 @ZohranKMamdani

Kashmir's Plea: Listen to Us!
For too long, India and Pakistan have dominated the Kashmir conversation. But it's time for a change! The people of Jammu and Kashmir demand self determination, not bilateral negotiations. Their homeland remains divided and under military control - in violation of international law. Will global powers finally prioritize justice and the rights of the Kashmiri people?

Kashmiris have Thanked the President Statement by Farooq Siddiqi, President of the Kashmir Global Council
Dated: 11th May 2025
On behalf of the Kashmir Global Council and the people of Jammu & Kashmir, I extend our deepest gratitude to President Donald J. Trump for his efforts in helping mediate an end to the recent military hostilities between India and Pakistan. At a moment when tensions threatened to spiral into full-scale war between two nuclear-armed states, President Trump’s intervention played a critical role in de-escalating the situation and restoring a fragile calm to the region.
We also express our heartfelt sympathy for all who have fallen or suffered on both sides of the Line of Control—in India and Pakistan. Their loss is a tragic reminder of the human cost of conflict. We are relieved that active hostilities have ceased, and we hope that this moment of calm becomes a platform for a more just, inclusive, and lasting peace.
However, we must issue a word of caution based on decades of painful history. Whenever the issue of Kashmir gains international attention, India habitually invokes bilateralism—particularly the Shimla Agreement—as a tactic to deflect external pressure. It engages in talks with Pakistan long enough to allow global scrutiny to fade, then backs away from the process entirely without any progress on the ground.
This has happened repeatedly: during the Swaran Singh–Bhutto talks of the 1960s, following the Tashkent and Shimla accords, in the Lahore Declaration, and again during the Musharraf era when U.S. diplomacy was active under President George W. Bush. Each time, the Kashmiri people were excluded, and the outcome was nothing but delay and denial.
We therefore urge the government of Pakistan and the broader international community not to be drawn again into this cycle of empty bilateralism. The Kashmiri people must be recognized as principal stakeholders in any dialogue. Without their inclusion, no process can be legitimate or sustainable.
If President Trump now chooses to further engage in facilitating a comprehensive resolution to the Kashmir dispute—one that includes Kashmiri representation and international oversight—he has the chance to go down in history as the leader who helped avert a potential nuclear conflict and brought justice and peace to a region long denied both.
We appeal to the conscience of the world: the people of Kashmir are not a pawn in regional power games. We are a people yearning for freedom, dignity, and self-determination.

This morning at breakfast in Doha, my waiter told me to thank President Trump for him.
I asked him why.
He told me he is from Kashmir, and he has been unable to return home in recent weeks due to the India-Pakistan conflict.
But he was just notified that he’s now able to return, thanks to the ceasefire mediated by President Trump, @VP & @SecRubio. He said President Trump is not receiving enough credit for literally preventing a nuclear war — and he is right!
President Trump inherited so many conflicts around the globe, and he is tackling them one at a time.
This historic trip to the Middle East has marked a significant turn in U.S. foreign policy in the region that will finally usher the Golden Age of the Middle East!
Peace, through strength, is being restored!

Kashmir Global Council Statement on the Urgency for Peace and Resolution of the Kashmir Issue
The Kashmir Global Council (KGC) reiterates that the unresolved status of Jammu and Kashmir is fundamentally rooted in the denial of the right to self-determination of its people, a right guaranteed under international law. This principle is clearly affirmed United Nations Charter and further reinforced in Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which states:
"All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development."
The ongoing occupation, restrictions on civil liberties, and exclusion of genuine Kashmiri voices have subjected the people of Jammu and Kashmir to prolonged suffering. This situation persists largely due to the longstanding animosity between India and Pakistan, which has overshadowed the legitimate aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
Now is the time for change. With regional hostilities at a standstill and the international climate favoring peace—reflected in the current stance of the United States administration—the Kashmir Global Council calls upon India and Pakistan to seize this opportunity and commit to a peaceful, just, and inclusive resolution of the Kashmir dispute.
KGC further urges the active engagement of the international community, including the United Nations and major global powers, to facilitate this process. A lasting solution must include the genuine democratic representation of Kashmiris, both within and outside the region. The Kashmir Senate, an initiative led by the Kashmir Global Council, offers a constructive and nonviolent framework for Kashmiri voices to be heard and included in any future negotiations.
The Kashmir issue is not just a territorial conflict—it is a human rights issue and a test of international commitment to justice, peace, and the rule of law.
It is time to move from conflict to cooperation, from military occupation to meaningful self-determination.

I am monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan closely. I echo @POTUS's comments earlier today that this hopefully ends quickly and will continue to engage both Indian and Pakistani leadership towards a peaceful resolution.
