Demand for reorganization of J&K not communal | Limit area of communal strife | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 26: NC president and MP of 7 per cent votes Farooq Abdullah has termed the demand in Jammu and Ladakh for the state's reorganization as communal, reactionary and anti-national and said that the unity and integrity of the state has to be maintained to preserve communal harmony in the state. Not only Farooq Abdullah, but almost all the Kashmiri leaders, including separatists and Pakistani agents based in Kashmir, including Syed Ali Shah Geelani, have also been expressing similar views. Farooq Abdullah's brother and former minister Sheikh Mustafa Kamal has even gone to the extent of saying that "J&K is a Muslim majority state and the chief minister of the state has to be a Muslim and that too Muslim from Kashmir". It's naked communalism and subversion of the Constitution. As for the PDP, it vouches for self-rule and supra-state measures (India-Pakistan joint control and shared sovereignty), NC for greater autonomy or semi-independence, Congress for the 1975 Indira-Sheikh Abdullah accord and Geelan, Mirwaiz and Yasin Malik complete separation of India. All of them describe these demands secular, democratic and reasonable. They also assert again and again that that they represent the whole state and the people of Jammu and Ladakh have to be fall in line as what they say is a majority view. It's strange that the Kashmiri leaders term their divisive demands secular and democratic and dismiss as communal, reactionary, anti-national and reactionary the demands in the otherwise totally neglected and marginalized Jammu and Ladakh for the state's reorganization. The demands in Jammu and Ladakh for the state's reorganization are constitutional and reasonable. The constitution says that the number of states can be increased and decreased as per the exigency of the time and need of the people. Did not the Government of India trifurcated Punjab into Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh States? And did not the Government of India bifurcated Bihar, UP, MP and AP? Yes, it did. The state has to be reorganized to limit the area of strife to the small Valley and this can happen only if Jammu and Ladakh are segregated from Kashmir. The fact of the matter is that the Kashmiri ruling elite is responsible for the rise of a demand in Jammu and Ladakh for the state's reorganization as it has all through treated these two regions as the Kashmir's colonies. |
