| Sher-e-Kashmir also sought division of state | | Advocating unity of JK! | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 22: The National Conference has suddenly become a strong advocate of unity of Jammu Kashmir. Little do the present day NC leaders know that Sher-e-Kashmir also sought division of the state.
Sher-e-Kashmir favoured division of Jammu Kashmir (as suggested by Sir Owen Dixon) at one point of time. This stands proved by his letter to Col. Naseer of Egypt in 1965. The letter was published by a Jammu based newspaper and Muslim India a few years ago.
While giving a brief history of the conflict and its impact on global politics, Sher-e-Kashmir wrote "……No doubt the best and most democratic solution could be through a plebiscite should this not be feasible, there are other practicable solutions, suggested in the past. One such solution was made by Sri Owen Dixon, the UN Representative appointed to negotiate a settlement between India and Pakistan. Broadly speaking, Sir Owen Dixon proposed that:
(a) The southern parts of the state comprising Kathua, Jammu and parts of Udhampur districts (now being predominantly Hindu areas) may be annexed with India.
(b) The area, now known as Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan being exclusively Muslim be annexed with Pakistan.
(c) The Valley of Kashmir along with the adjoining areas across Banihal (i.e. the district of Doda and the Niabat of Arnas, Gulab Garh) to be allowed to decide its future through a plebiscite. Leh is to follow the result of plebiscite, held in this territory (Kargil being exclusively Muslim in population to go with the Valley).
Sher-e-Kashmir concluded his letter by seeking Naseer's help. "The above proposal can be a very good basis for discussion between India and Pakistan and Kashmir. It is hoped that friendly countries, interested in a settlement, will take up this proposal levels, as well as the international conference.
Needless to say that as earnest effort in this direction will be the greatest service to the cause of peace in the world". |
