| Give us dispensation of national spirit or de-link Jammu province from Kashmir: Jammu citizens | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 3: Citizens here today unequivocally voiced their concern, seeking dispensation of national spirit and asked Centre that if it cannot happen, de-link Jammu Province from Kashmir.
"Enough is enough. The people of Jammu province are not prepared to live life of servitude even for a day. What they need at this critical juncture is a dispensation which is of their own and which is national in spirit. We want New Delhi to de-link Jammu province from Kashmir forthwith," prominent citizens here told reporters.
The Jammu citizens were comprised of Jammu for India convener Prof Hari Om, MLA Udhampur Pawan Gupta, Panun Kashmir leaders Ajay Chrungoo, Agnishekhar, refugee leader Rajiv Chunni and others.
"We have our own political, social and economic aspirations, which cannot be met under the failed 70-year-old Kashmir-dominated dispensation," they said adding, "we reject outright the demands of Kashmiri leaders ranging from autonomy to self-rule to azadi to merger with Pakistan to free economic zone to religious state. And we also resolve to accomplish two goals separation from Kashmir and complete merger with India."
"We seek de-linking of our province from Kashmir for three specific reasons," they said.
One, Kashmir has been gripped by radicals who, in the words of PDP leader and MP Muzaffar Hussain Baig himself, are not fighting for autonomy or self-rule; they are fighting for a Muslim state, the citizens said and added, "He has unambiguously and in so many words said Vajpayee's so-called "Insaniyat, Jamhooriyat and Kashmiriyat line will not work in Kashmir", the Kashmiris this time are fighting for a state "which is their own". We firmly believe that they are working for a Syria-like or Pakistan-like dispensation."
The conversion of Jammu and Kashmir into a religious state is utterly unacceptable to the people of Jammu province, they added and said this amounted to second communal partition of India and its dismemberment.
"We cannot allow ourselves to be submerged under the rising clamours of azadi, Musharraf formula and the non-existent Delhi Agreement. Nor will we allow the Kashmiri leaders to implement Dixon Plan or Chenab formula or Kathwari formula or the nasty report of interlocutors or the Working Groups' reports," said the citizens. "We the Jammu Citizens urge the Union Government to de-link Jammu province from Kashmir without losing a moment and limit this Kashmir unrest to 6000 sq km Kashmir Valley and not allowing the secessionist elements to paint entire State of J&K black and in turmoil, failing which they will have no other option but to unleash a relentless movement in the region to achieve their twin objectives as stated above," they demanded. |
