| Sher-e-Kashmir suggested division of JK in 1964 | | `JK became most corrupt state during NC rule' | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 2: National Conference leader Ajay Sadhotra today accused PDP of encouraging disruptive politics. He also accused the PDP of trying to divide the state on religious lines. He was addressing prominent workers of Marh Assembly Constituency.
Sadotra said the state won the label of No 1 corrupt state during Mufti Sayed's rule.
The problem with National Conference leaders is that they seem totally unaware of history. After Sir Own Dixon, Sher-e-Kashmir was the first to suggest division of Jammu Kashmir. 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".
A close analysis of the letter reveals the mindset of Sher-e-Kashmir. The secular Sheikh suggested division on communal lines.
And curiously it was during the current regime that the state `won' the `honour' of the most corrupt state in India. Srinagar which according to Omar is the face of Jammu Kashmir was declared the third dirtiest city of the country. This explodes the myth of people friendly policies and developmental works that NC is boasting of. |
