Where Are We Headed?: J&K Burning Still

Its been 50 days now and J&K has been on fire. Mistrust and enmity rule the air. But what happened is surely one of the most dangerous form of "misinformation" propaganda which was spread by Mehbooba Mufti and her allies, the Congress(I).

The Shri Amarnath Shrine Board with the Governor of J&K as its Chairman had been allotted the land for two months ONLY as the Amaranth pilgrimage is done only during the two months in a year. But as it was never told to media, the people, the politicians thought it would be wise to play game on this issue as the elections were nearing. The Govt. had given the land to the SASB. Then why was the decision taken back? Because it suited the cause - the divisive forces wanted it that way. It has always been the tradition to make pre-fabricated huts for the visiting pilgrims to the Amarnath cave for two months and those who made it and maintained it were Kashmiris. Poor people who take the old pilgrims over their shoulders and backs to the Amarnath shrine. Then why did the J&K govt. decide to terminate it? There was never a full transfer of land a registered transfer?

Why did the Government didn't come out to clear the air? It is just politics which is being played in the valley. The BJP, Congress(I), J&K National Conference, All Party Hurriyat Conference and J&K People's Democratic Party have been using this episode to give it a political color which was not the case when this whole situation snowballed out of the Congress(I)-PDP led Government in J&K.

The AHPC and PDP had called for a March to Muzaffarabad yesterday and around one lakh Kashmiris joined the march which was stopped by the J&K administration alongwith the security forces.

But why the Indian Government has not been able to come up with ONE solution?

What is the solution?

We already have lost a lot of Kashmir to Pakistan and China during our wars in the 60's and 70's.

After the Kargil War we still haven't got back a few key posts read the article by an Indian Army officer here:

Whatever we have got should be to at once and cordoned off by the barbed wires or probably a wall even so that the daily mischiefs of infiltrations and cross border firing ends.

And Article 370 of the Indian constitution should be abolished at once (it was a temporary arrangement- see my earlier posts).

End the Mistrust - End the war - Go for Peace.
