| Our report not cast in stone: Interlocutors | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 11: Three interlocutors,whose report has kicked up more controversies than had been expected, favour any amendment to their recommendations which could satisfy the mainstream politicians and the separatists also.
In his latest writeup the head of the three-member team, Dileep Padgaonkar,has said that "our recommendations are not cast in stone. They can be altered,amended,replaced with others."He has said so in view of what he calls nuanced stand taken by the mainstream partiesand even a section of the Hurriyat Conference.
While referring to the demand of the separatists for a plebiscite as provided in the UN resolution on Kashmir Padgaonkar hassaid that this demand "is rooted neither in legality nor in political wisdom.He has clarified that seceessionism "cannot ever be acceptable to the people of the Jammu and Ladakh regions besides a large section of people in the valley."
Padgaonkar has even gone to the extent of saying that even the separatists know that right to self-determination was not practicable still they kept on voicing this demand to establish their relevance. He said against this demand of the separatists those in the regions of Jammu and Ladakh chanted in favour of abrogation of Article370 leading to full integration of the state with rest of the countrywhich was needed for strengthening India's security.
Since the people in the regions of Jammu and Ladakh were peeved over what they call step motherly treatment by the Kashmir centric successive state Governments they believe that abrogation of Article 370 could end regional discrimination.
This way the interlocutors had a tough task to strike a balance between the two extreme stands taken by those in Kashmir and the people in the regions of Ladakh and Jammu.It is in this context the interlocuters have favoured amendments in their report if those changes could strike a balance between the two views. |
