| Throw Interlocutors' report into bin: Gupta | | They have been enjoying company of ISI agents' | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 24 : Demanding Interlocutors' report be thrown into bin, former minister and MLA Chaman Lal Gupta said the accession of the State to Indian Union is a closed chapter and to discuss the future of Jammu and Kashmir is unconstitutional which cannot be expected from any good Indian.
He said that the report of these "Wise men" is out and out against the national interests, more so, the people of J&K who have been denied their basic democratic rights but for Article-370 which was inserted in the Constitution as a temporary provision. It is strange that these "Wise men" who have been enjoying the company of dubious character like Ghulam Nabi Fai, an ISI agent operating in USA and elsewhere, have in their report suggested that Article -370 should be made permanent.
He further said that Article-370 is essentially an offshoot of the obnoxious two nations theory of Jinnah and other such like brains to harm the pluralism of India at the behest of the imperialists who wanted to rule and keep India in shackles.
Lal recalled that Sh. Jawahar Lal Nehru himself had assured the agitated nationalists that Article-370 was a temporary measure and would whither away with the passage of time. But it was strange that after the expiry of the over six decades now the Government appointed "Wise men" are advocating for making it a permanent feature. This, he added that they are proposing another communal division of the country which cannot be tolerated.
He further said that so called special status under this article has done great harm not only to the unity of the country but also the people of the State in many spheres of life. This Status has deprived
the people of their democratic rights, so much so that no timely elections were held to the basic democracies like that of Panchayats, local bodies, cooperatives etc, not to say of their empowerment as enjoyed by the people of rest of India under the 73rd and 74th Amendments of the Indian Constitution. Moreover, this status, he pointed out, is resulting in breeding corruption, unemployment, growing imports of food items as also that of electricity despite the State is having vast potential for hydro
power.The Professor regretted that while claiming to be humanists, these wise men have made no mention about the grant of citizenship rights to the PAK refugees staying in this part of the country for over 65 years but with no rights. This report, he pointed out had made hardly any suggestion about the return and rehabilitation of Kashmiri migrants and permanent settlement of Displaced persons from Pak held areas.
Gupta observed that his report provided oxygen to the separatists and semi-separatists who wanted to keep the pot boiling to have their nefarious ends. Stressing for putting this report in the dustbin, he said that all concerned in and outside the country, should be made clear that entire J&K is an integral part of India as the Parliament had unanimously made it clear in its Resolution, of 1994, and no one has the right to think other way. |
