| Pakistan is nowhere in SiaChen Glacier (J&K) | | | A N Bharadwaj | 10/31/2016 9:22:15 PM |
| The British India was divided vide Indian Independence Act of 1947 by demarcating the sovereignty of India and Pakistan for ever lasting peace, along with the rulers of the Indian states who were granted powers to accede their States to any dominions according to their choice. Accordingly, the ruler of Jammu & Kashmir acceded his state to India vide Act referred to above, and thus its sovereignty was flown to India. Soon after the partition, Pak took invasion of Indian State of Jammu & Kashmir and committed bloodshed in large scale and encroached upon some part of the state. Despite demarcation of British India, Pakistan on its own desired to merge the state with it by using third degree coercive technique as had already applied for the Ruler of Kalat State situated in Baluchistan with whom the accession document had to get signed with the brute force of pistol point resulting in emerging revolt against it, which is still continuing.
The Pakistan, under its greed wanted to intrude also in Sia-chen Glacier of Indian State also with muscle power of hooligans to uproot the Indian forces that had already been camping there to protect its territory. It was uncomfortable for Pak to know the presence of Indian forces, and retaliated, because, it was unable to show its hegemony to push out Indian forces from there. It warned Pak-hooligans that even one step forward would be fatal therefore, it would be better to go back to their barracks. On the other side, China had an eagle eye to capture Aksai-Chen mountainous territory in J&K State in Indian under expansion policy for its political and economical purposes at the cost of Indian sovereignty. With the result of that, it invaded India in 1962, committed killings, bloodshed, and captured Aksai-Chen, which is lying to be surrendered. These aggressive designs came to light when China proxy Pakistan strategically projected itself as one of the claimants for Sia-Chen, which was denied by India totally.
The origin of Sia-Chen`s so-called conflict, lies in an omission vide Cease-fire Line agreement signed in Karachi on 27th July 1949 with India, Pakistan and U N Military Observer Group under which 740- Km Cease-fire Line up to Chalunka, Khor and map grid reference NJ9842, and thereafter left the remaining portion open with the line -North to the glacier, which was barren, and an inhospitable terrain, was not demarcated. In fact, there was no need to enter in to an agreement referred to above legally being the Indian sovereignty over it. Under these bases the agreement was signed, that is not clear, while India has sovereign rights over the State, and that Sia-chen territory comes in that domain, where Pak has no legal right to interfere in that Indian sovereignty, thus the issue is reviewable.
Meanwhile, Sino-India political relations were deteriorating due to Chinese expansion policy. It committed invasion of Indian State of Jammu & Kashmir State and grabbed its part of Aksai Chen territory through its might. After its unwarranted intrusion in Indian Territory by violating international norms, it gave alluring assurance to Pakistan for its political and economical survival and entered into an agreement with it, without any authenticity, and it ceded Shaksgam valley to China unilaterally in 1963, situated north of Indira Col, starting point of SiaChen glacier, out of the status quo on its own whim without taking India and U N Security Council into its confidence, which was the breach of trust, because it was only a care taker of that territory and had no sovereign rights over it for any legal transaction unilaterally, India took their misadventure serious and protested on that illegal bargaining committed by Pak-China hobnobbing with their muscle power, but its voice was ignored. After stable foothold on Indian soil, these two Pakistan and China kept eagle eye to snatch SiaChen glacier.
In the British India Partition plan and the accession proceedings for the Rulers of British Indian States was continued to accede their states either this or that dominion according to their choice, but out of that the ruler of Jammu & Kashmir also acceded his State to India and its sovereignty was transferred to it like others. Accordingly, India was under legal obligation to protect its boundaries as one of the parts of India and save its people as its Indian citizens. The Pakistan has been greedy to encroach upon the state to take advantage of the proximity of religion with muscle power by generating hooliganism, and China under its expansion policy with Pak-alluring co-operation intruded in Indian Territory. In accordance with the same policy and technique, the Pak-exerted its efforts to intrude in SiaChen glacier by disturbing status quo having engaged catastrophic aggression and alluring expeditions by foreign mountaineers assisted by Pak-army in SiaChen glacier, which was repulsed by Indian army with a befitting reply, despite aggression over the Indian sovereignty which India termed as aggression of its unwarranted intrusion. Surreptitiously, the Saltro ahead of SiaChen un-authorized and having no lien, the Pak with the support of unknown new emerged China as one of the claimants pleaded that a line extending in north-east direction from NJ 9842 to Karakoram pass in China occupied India Aksai Chen, but that was refuted. Thus the Pakistan is ambiguous pleading without any authoritative base. In fact the Soltro top which starts at NJ 9842 and goes to north-west direction on the watershed principle all the way up to Indira Colony. It is a simple issue that the State sovereignty flew to India, in that backdrop, the question of Pak`s interference into SiaChen glacier does not arise and is non-negotiable. The Pak`s misadventure to move without delineating the LoC ahead of NJ 9842 recognizes Pak-intrusion which negates the U N`s August 1948 resolution, the derivative Karachi Agreement of 1948, Simla Agreement of 1972, and Suchet Garh Agreement of 1972, which are the guidelines to solve the bickering. The Pakistan should know the ground facts that since the alignment of LoC just before NJ 9842 was altered by Pakistan on its own whimsically by encroaching upon of Gyong glacier in 1984, its argument of the LoC extending north-west to Karakoram pass does not hold water, its hallow and un-weighty argument against India of altering the status of the LoC by occupying Saltro.
Pak is playing with a fire that would engulf it in near future to cede Indian State Shaksgam valley to China unilaterally with alluring bargain at the cost of Indian sovereignty. Since that intrusion it appeared more active than ever, as successor of the territory. With the result of that unilateral ceding transaction, it developed an all weather Karakorum highway. Other developing projects such as rail dams and nuclear projects under anvil fiber optic cables have been laid for oil pipe-line Gwadar port situates in Pak-occupied Baluc-histan on the Arabian Sea which would connect Xijiang Province of China. By looking in to ceding NJ 9842 Indira Col- Karakorum Pass triangle, Pakistan would further strengthen the Pak-China foot print on these strategic tops however India would never allow their interference in its sovereignty.
Keeping in view the Pak-traditions of deceptiveness and to disregarding commitments made against terrorism generated on its soil internationally, India will never withdraw from SiaChen glacier. It will be better for Pakistan to withdraw itself from intrusion keeping in view the Indian sovereignty over it. It has an eagle eye over it, because of that glacier paves an access to China for easy entering in Indian Territory as well as for Pak-forces to go close to Leh, Indian J&K State, which is endangering for India. In that serial, Pak's so many attempts were committed to uproot the Indian posts established on the tops of the glacier, especially Saltro post, but those were repulsed and it suffered heavy human loss and humiliation which is usually suffered by it, but by ignoring that humility it keeps its existence on the basis of loot and plunder as well as bloodshed. We feel that India would not repeat the same generosity as showered in the past, to give back the posts, captured at the cost of life of the forces for the sake of peace. Sia Chem glacier is not low hanging bunch of flesh upon which Pakistan and China are looking eagerly to move its mouth upward to swallow it for sweet taste, but after tiresome exercise it was frustrated and left it.
During 1974, Pak on its own opened the glacier for expeditions and explored the No Man's Line to establish its posts, but could not find, and then in 1977, it launched several attempts to dislodge Indian forces, but could not achieve to establish its check post. The Pak had an ambition to capture Bilafond La and tried to capture using guerrilla attack, and hand to hand combat, which had been repulsed. It since then is trying to intrude in to the glacier, but did if achieve to encroach upon the Indian sovereignty, even then it placed some fictitious documents, false and fake maps to justify its stand on the glacier, which were not taken in view, because those were not self explanatory. The then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi ordered Defense Ministry to establish control over the glacier. Thus an operation Megdoot was launched in 1984, and took it under control physically. Thereafter, Pak-attacked in retaliation in 1985 at Bila Ford La resulting in a humiliating defeat. It retreated to its barracks by suffering heavy loss.
The peace talk of Defense Secretary Level in 1988 was completed in two rounds and decided to settle in accordance with Simla agreement, but simultaneously Indian Infantry Battalion dislodged Pak-troops and captured Qaid post in 1987, and further process was continued to keep an eye on any unwarranted intrusion. Again, in the greed to take over the glacier, the Pak arranged Defense Secretary level talks on glacier, held at Pak-Rawalpindi in 2007, but ended with no results. And after that again in 2011, Defense Secretary level talk was arranged at New Delhi, both sides acknowledged cease-fire holding since 2003, and exchanged suggestions towards dispute resolution. The efforts were exerted again to find out amicable solution in 2012, due to which Pak-army Chief Ashfaq Kiyani proposed demilitarization of SiaChen glacier after an avalanche killed 125 of his soldiers, but Indian Army Chief opposed his move. Look at Pak`s intention that it first intruded the glacier illegally and then established its claim and after that it proposed for demilitarization as a claimant tactfully for its recapture. In the light of that Pak should vacate the Indian glacier; in view of the Security Council by penalizing Pakistan by its resolution asking it to withdraw its troops from the territory of the J&K State under its illegal occupation immediately. |
