| Asma Lone,wife of of Sajad Lone a former minister of the Coalition Government from the BJP quota led by the Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has demanded for the stoppage of the Darbar move in practice today as it is a huge burden on the state exchequer and asked for allowing the civil secretariat to function in Kashmir in winter days so that the people of the valley don't have to face difficulties due to the severe cold and snowfall these days. Presently the state administration remains confined to the Jammu region particularly. At the same time, the she demanded that Divisional authorities of the Ladhakh Division created very recently be allowed to function for the six months in Leh and the remaining six months in Kargil. According to her, it will be a wise step for serving the people of the remotest parts of the state effectively and keeping the people of the far flung areas in a good mood. Apart from Asma Lone, her husband also on Wednesday Sajad Ghani Lone a former Cabinet Minister in the Mehbooba's Cabinet pleaded for the same.
The former Chief Ministers of the state Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti are on record that if, they voted to power by the people in the next Legislative Assembly elections, they will grant the Divisional status to the Pir Panjal and Chenab Valley. Both of them are committed firmly on this score. Not only this NC has given its commitment to give the Regional Councils to the three regions of the state - Kashmir, Jammu and Ladhakh, if voted to power. Kargil was tense last week as the people of the region are on the streets against the action of the Governor's administration.
Due to keeping of the Headquarter of the Divisional Administration of the Ladhakh Division at Leh by the State Government, the people of the Kargil District had come out openly against the Governor's administration and were making the huge protests and the demonstrations against his government on this score. Their main demand was that Kargil should made as the Headquarter of the Ladhakh Division as soon as possible otherwise the situation would go very bad and out of control from where no turn would be possible for the state. The demand of the people of the region and the Asma's contention looks genuine in this regard. Since the demand, in question, was based on the strong logics in the interests of the state that it was acceded to by the Governor of the state Satya Pal Malik. It was like a - A stitch in time saves nine. The Governor took the wise decision soon. It would go a long way in solving the problems of the people of the remotest areas of Kargil.
It is important to mention here that BJP was feeling helpless in defending the cause of the Jammuites resulting which it had to withdraw its support to PDP last year and the Governor's Rule was imposed in the state of Jammu and Kashmir when N.N, Vohra was the Governor. Later Satya Pal Malik became the governor of the state replacing N.N, Vohra. In the J&K Assembly elections -2014, people of the Jammu region gave them the massive mandate to project their problems faithfully in the corridors of powers but painfully, it is to submit that it had failed like anything in all the fronts after coming to power in coalition with the Kashmir centric party - PDP.
It was totally unfortunate resulting which the demand for an independent "STATE HOOD" for "JAMMU" is presently cropping up in the entire Jammu Division. All over Jammu Division, a sort of law less ness and the unrest prevailed then as the people of the Jammu region were on the streets and were holding the protest demonstrations almost everyday against the State Government led by the Chief Minster Mehbooba Mufti. According to them, a separate "JAMMU STATEHOOD" was the only solution to their main problem of discrimination which was expected as the "Panacea for all the diseases", in the event of such situation they are facing in the unit one state i.e. Jammu and Kashmir.If one go by the topography of the areas of Jammu and Kashmir - Peer Panjal mountain divides the two Divisions - Jammu as also Kashmir. This means that the nature has already decided their faith separately. Peer Panjal is the divider in this regard.
1. Pertinent to mention here that in the past, the successive governments in the state had appointed the various Commissions for studying the levels of discrimination with Jammu specifically and after having studied the various aspects of discrimination with Jammu by the Kashmiri Rulers of the state and they submitted their reports to the State Governments for implementing their recommendations for the redressal of the grievances of the people of Jammu region as a whole. But all in vain, rather the State Governments of the past put these reports in the dustbins in the Civil Secretariat without caring for the repercussions on this score . Prominent Commissions were Gajendergadkar commission, Sikri Commission Rangarajan Panel etc. etc.
Taking their recommendations otherwise, Governments in the state in the past move swiftly in discriminating Jammu more and more detrimental to the cause of Jammuites.
Not only this, BJP (whose base is erstwhile Jan Sangh / RSS) which always exploited the Jammuites for their petty interests and without caring for their ( Jammuites ) welfare and benefits, its leadership and the Cabinet Ministers in the Coalition Government in the state led by the Chief Minster Mehbooba Mufti continued to side with the Kashmiri Rulers and at the cost of Jammuites accepted their leadership just for the lust of power and treated themselves as the subordinates of the Ministers from the other side.
In the past lacs of crores of rupees have been pumped into the state of Jammu and Kashmir by the Government of India out of the tax payers hard earned money across the country from time to time but it is unfortunate that the Central Government cannot win the hearts of the valley people who always stood for the Pakistani Rulers and want to get rid of India and continued to do the wrong things resulting which the state has landed into the given situation.
Jammu region is always discriminated at the hands of the Kashmiri Rules from time to time which is a bad luck for the people living there in. The State Government continued to please the militants and their outfits as also to follow the appeasement policy of the state for appeasing the militants. Truth always comes on the lips. This exactly happened with Syed Mohammed Mufti, while taking the oath as the Chief Minister of the Jammu and Kashmir at the oath ceremony held at the Zoravar Singh Auditorium, Jammu University in 2015 in the presence Prime Minister of the country Narender Modi. Having took the oath as the Chief Minister of the state, speaking on the occasion, thanked the Hurriyat Group led by SAS Geelani and had stated that the J&K Legislative Assembly elections -2014 could not have been possible without the support of the Hurriyat Amalgamation. He expressed his pleasure on this score and further stated that we are here because of them only. But it is sorry to mention that PM Modi who specifically came from New Delhi for attending the said function and even did not comment on it and remained seated there as a silent spectator in the oath ceremony.
Next day, the print and the electronic media of the country as also the International media carried the stories on the same from where the countrymen observed and made the protests . The media reported that as to how Mufti Mohammed Sayeed referred about the Hurriyat Group led by SAS Geelani in this important event which always played in the hands of the Pakistani Rulers .
These days because of the inactions of BJP, a political vacuum is there to represent the Jammuites since the Coalition Government of which BJP was the partner , had failed on all the fronts.NPP's demand for the separate state for Jammu was justified as it is considered as the "Panacea for the all the diseases" ailed Jammu region. In simple words, it can be said that National Panthers Party took the birth for this cause only in the interests of the Jammuites
Based upon the above mentioned lines of this article , the demand for the separate STATE HOOD for JAMMU is totally justified very much. The civil society , trade organizations Jammu chamber of commerce and industry should also apply their minds coolly on this important issue for being united fully for the establishment of a full fledged state for Jammu. If Telangana (From Andhra Pradesh) Utrakhand ( From UP) Chhatisgarh (from Bihar) can be made as the Independent states of the Indian Union, then why JAMMU CAN'T? |
