| Pak autonomy to PoK a ruse to incite people in Kashmir | | | | In a bid to incite people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially in the valley, for securing greater autonomy from the Central Government Islamabad has devised a new policy for granting greater administrative and financial authority to Pakistan occupied Kashmir Pakistan's top civil and military leaders have decided to give greater administrative and financial authority to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, the region through which the controversial $50 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) passes. During a meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) -- the top civil and military body-Sartaj Aziz, Deputy Chairman Planning Commission and the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs & Gilgit-Baltistan, briefed the Committee on the PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan reform proposals. The meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi reviewed these proposals and after detailed deliberations a consensus was reached on the "devolution of greater administrative authority and financial powers" to the PoK government and the Gilgit-Baltistan government, according to the statement. Already the state of Jammu and Kashmir has been enjoying full financial and administrative and the constitutional powers either through the separate constitution the state has or through Article 370 of the constitution. Hence there is nothing to be given when compared to the fate of the people of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir,the Gilgit and Baltistan. The National Conference, whether in power or in the opposition, has been demanding greater autonomy for the state.It was a votary for bigger regional autonomy. In fact the NC has not been able to cash on the slogan of greater autonomy because people in the state know it well that Jammu and Kashmir has been enjoying autonomy when compared to other states which are not governed by separate constitution or Article 370 that grants special status to the state within the Union of India. Pakistan has promised Occupied Kashmir greater financial authority when the area has remained in a state of neglect along with the Gilgit and Baltistan.Thus with meagre financial resources can Pakistan occupied Kashmir, the Gilgit and Baltistan survive on its resources. It has to seek financial aid from Islamabad as Jammu and Kashmir banks on 80 per cent financial aid from New Delhi. Administrative and financial and administrative authority is a misnomer and it is a ruse for the people of Kashmir valley to rise in revolt. |
