| HM likely to put JK report on hold | | Na Khuda hi mila na visaal-e-sanam | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 4: The Home Ministry is likely to put the Interlocutor's report on hold for the time being. A New Delhi based newspaper quoting Home Ministry sources said the report `would trigger' controversies.
The Home Ministry believes that some of the key recommendations could have significant political ramifications. The government is reluctant to constitute a constitutional committee to review all acts and articles of the Constitution extended to Jammu Kashmir. The sources also claimed that the government was not in favour of altering the current provisions of the Article 370.
The government of
India is averse to forwarding of a panel of names for the post of governor by the state. The ministry believes that the governor should be appointed by New Delhi as long as militancy continues in the state as "this key post has more to do with security rather than politics."
Interestingly the report has no major political recommendation. The major recommendations, by and large, are administrative. The sources said the ministry believes even those recommendations could trigger a major controversy.
Significantly the Home Minister called for peoples' response to the report last week. The interlocutors also had plans to visit the state for feedback. However, with the government having made up its mind to put the report on hold, the interlocutors will find no takers in the state.
The latest development reminds one of the Urdu verse Na Khuda hi mila na visaal-e-sanam (He neither found the God nor his beloved). The people across the state are angry with the interlocutors for failing them and the ministry that appointed them feels they have `conceded' too much.
The Interlocutors were appointed in October 2010 after the summer agitation to recommend `solutions' to the Jammu Kashmir problem. People from all walks of life met them. However, the separatists boycotted them. |
