| Contribution of Jammu to national integration | | Fighting Ideological War | | Rustam
jammu, Dec 16: It would not be an exaggeration to say that Kashmir rules over the state politically and Jammu ideologically, notwithstanding the controversial and uninspiring role of most of the Jammu-based leaders, most of whom work as Kashmiri agents for personal power and profit. The Jammu people's contribution to the state's integration into the national mainstream is splendid and spectacular. The Hindus of Jammu province constitute a minority social group in the state, but have been fighting an ideological war.
Some of the most outstanding contributions of the otherwise ignored people of Jammu include (i) dismissal and arrest of Wazir-e-Azam Sheikh Abdullah in 1953; (ii) abolition of permit system; (iii) extension of 260 out of a total of 395 Central laws, application of 94 Entries out of a total of 97 Entries in the Union List, application of 26 Entries out of a total of 47 Entries in the Concurrent List and application of 7 out of a total of 12 Schedules in the Indian Constitution; (iv) extension of Article 312 of the Indian Constitution or the extension of All India Services to the state in 1958; (v) extension of the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, Comptroller and Auditor-General and Election Commission in 1965; (vi) change on March 30, 1965 in the nomenclatures of Sadar-e-Riyasat and Wazir-e-Azam and introduction of the offices of Governor and Chief Minister; (vii) collapse of the 1975 Indira Gandhi-Sheikh Abdullah Accord under which the latter had the power to seek withdrawal of Central laws from the state; fall of the Congress-led coalition government in the state on July 7, 2008; and (ix) transfer of the Baltal land to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) on a permanent basis, free of cost, on 31 August 2008.
It's no wonder that Kashmir, which has been ruling over the state since 1947, is unhappy and seething with discontent. The nationalist people of Jammu have been acting as a millstone around Kashmir's neck. It is an irony that there is none in New Delhi who could appreciate the efforts of and supreme sacrifices made by the people of this province. Instead, there are elements in New Delhi who often dismiss them as "communal", "unaccommodating" and "anti-Kashmiri ". Such is the nature of the Indian state. What an irony! |
