| Article 370 & 35A were barriers in full integration of J&K with India | | | Ravinder Jalali | 9/28/2019 10:40:01 PM |
| For quite some time, there has been uproar in the Kashmir centric political circles about the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A as their life time shop stands closed as on day. They would not have dreamt about the removal of these draconian articles, though article 370 was temporary and transient and Article 35A was clandestinely introduced in the constitution. This is not for the first time that such instances have come, but in the present circumstances it was being used by the political parties for their vested interests. Those who were out of power are frustrated and need some or the other excuses for being in lime light and headlines of newspapers. It has given an opportunity to every tom, dick and hurry to spell out their mind and more importantly it has also provided opportunity to Kashmir centric mainstream and separatists to speak venom against India and Hindus.
Till recently, nobody knew of article 35A but lately this article had turned ghost and had replaced article 370. The Kashmir centric politics which is essentially a Muslim aligned like Huriyat had found a new tool to exploit the Muslims of Kashmir. Since the article 370 has been used, abused and misused so much for the last seven decades that it had dried up an there is no juice left over in it. Also the people had also understood the game plane of these so called mainstream and separatists who have used it for their personal gains. Take the example of Abdullahs who have been in power for the last three generations simply because of article 370. This game plan was hijacked by Muftis who also used it under different style of Self Rule. After NC and PDP the separatists have also realised that this article 370 which is just separatist in nature has been used by these mainstream political parties and did not wait long before joining this stream. These separatists also amazed enormous wealth because of article 370. People are no longer ready to be fooled by the article 370. It reminded of a story in the past how this Article 370 was made a religious and sanctum sanctora issue by the valley leadership. While addressing the public rally they used to equate this Article 370 with the (Nada) thread used by Kashmiri Muslim women for tying trouser at waist. Leaders used to tell the people "Will you allow any body to touch the Nada of your mother or sisters, to make them feel touchier. They used the names of Muslim local women just to arouse their feelings and sentiments. There answer was always "No". This is how Article 370 was abused and used against the interests of India.
Article 35 A and 370 were tools in the hands of these Kashmir centric leaders who have nothing for the common masses except stone pelting, death and destruction , while as their own kith and kin are well settled in or outside state. The irony is that terrorist like Hafiz Sayed who exports terrorism from across the border needs Rs 1.5 lac for his family of 5 including his children but makes average Kashmiri boys to hold gun and plunges into fighting against Indian forces in the name of religion.
The former Chief Minister Mehbooba had earlier said that J&K, at the time of accession, being a Muslim majority state, took a different decision to join India, seeing that, there is a special position of J&K. But she was lying because as such there was no such article. J&K became part of India on 27th Oct. 1947 by signing instrument of accession by the Maharaja Hari Singh, who was the sole authority for accessing into either domain because of the Independence Act. she was lying to the people of state and to the whole nation. It is irony that those who are not the aborigines of Kashmir are becoming the sole custodians of the state and the real aborigines are living in exile as refugees in their own country.
The leadership at that type under sheikh Abdullah was not trusted by Pakistan and wanted to negotiate the Muslim conference. Had he favoured Pakistan the Abdullah's along with other Muftis and so called separatists and Hurriyat would not have been there. They would have been selling peanuts there on the rehris but thanks to the democratic setup of India, they not only curse India and abuse it day in and day out, but raise anti-India voices. They need not cross the LoC but can meet the enemies of India within India.
Mehbooba had earlier brought to the notice of the Prime Minister the "sentiments" of the people of the state attached to the special position which was a blatant lie. Kashmir centric leadership cutting across party lines had made people to believe that it was sacrosanct that as if it will amount to act of blasphemy? The realty is that all the Kashmir centric leadership has exploited the Islam as religion for any issue and have linked these articles to a single faith. The significant thing in the whole issue is that it has become Sunni Islam vs. rest. Nobody from other than Islam had opposed its abrogation. All people belonging to a particular faith had objected its removal.
The irony of the fact remains that any thing that is anti- India becomes saleable in Muslin valley which has been radicalised to the extent that even if we call Kashmir as an Islamic state it will not be wrong. This anti -India attitude has been created by these mainstream and separatists because it keeps their shops running. To ensure the full and final integration of J&K with the rest of India, it was necessary for these Articles to go because these articles had created barriers which have given a sense of alienation to the people of J&K from rest of India.
On one hand the Govt. as well as other Muslim dominated parties wanted emotional integration of Kashmir with rest of India and simultaneously wanted this article to remain, it was a paradox. Now with these Articles like 370 and 35A stands no more, there is now complete, full and final integration of J&K with rest of India with one flag, one nation and one constitution. |
