Early Times Report

JAMMU, July 24: Former chief interlocutor on J&K Dileep Padgaonkar, who in 2010 batted for Kashmir Azadi and Article 370 and ignored Jammu, Ladakh, internally-displaced Kashmiri Hindus, refugees from Pakistan and POJK, has again become active. He has come out with a solution to the so-called Kashmir problem and his solution, if applied, would end the Indian presence in J&K and destroy six lakh non-Muslims of Jammu and Ladakh like it happened in Lahore and other parts of the newly-created Muslim Pakistan in 1947-1948.
Padgaonkar, like Congress leader and former Union Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar and former J&K CM and working president of NC, has warned New Delhi that India would suffer a serious injury if it didn't resolve the "political problem of Kashmir politically". "Prevailing situation in Kashmir would get worse unless there is 'real political solution' of the issue. No solution will evolve if the focus is only on militancy and development. Unless the real political issue is resolved, situation in Kashmir will not improve but will get worse," he told a local news gathering agency last evening.
"If talks are held with people, what are the issues on which you will hold talks? We should first give some confidence building measures to the people and then hold dialogue with them…It is good that a political debate is raging over the Kashmir issue, prime minister of the country has a chance to solve the issue. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has big responsibility and he has a chance to resolve the issue," he was quoted as saying.
Padgoankar headed a three-member interlocutors group of Radha Kumar and former Information Commissioner M.M. Ansari between October 2010 and 2011 and submitted report to the then Union Home Minister P Chidambaram in October 2011. The report is lying in some cupboard of the Union Home Ministry. It was neither accepted nor rejected.
What does political solution to the so-called political problem of Kashmir mean? It means reconciliation and compromise on the Indian stand on J&K. It also means a solution that recognizes and appreciates the Kashmiri politics of communalism, separatism and emotional blackmail; negation of all that the nation and the army did in J&K to integrate it into India; and more than that, it would mean the revival and implementation of the two-nation theory that culminated in the creation of Pakistan and liquidation of minorities, including Hindus and Muslims, on an unprecedented scale.
New Delhi would do well to recognize the fact that the problem in Kashmir is patently communal and that any move on its part to go in for any compromise would only lead to another communal partition of India. If it at all happens, India would also not survive as the very survival and existence of India as a nation depends on what happens in J&K. It would be only desirable of New Delhi makes it loud and clear that unity and integrity of India shall be maintained at any cost and it will not grant any more political concession to the subversive and secessionist Kashmiri leadership.
