| Why is 1975 Accord evoking comments now? Something being cooked somewhere! | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 3: While National Conference (NC) and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have maintained meaningful silence over autonomy and self rule, `strangers' have been doing the talking on the roadmaps.
First the Minister for Irrigation and Flood Control, Taj Mohi-ud-Din rejected autonomy and self rule as impracticable and irrelevant. The recent statement of senior Congress leader and Minister for Irrigation and Flood Control, Taj Mohi-ud-Din has shaken the National Conference. He (Taj) said autonomy was a closed chapter. "It is a closed chapter. There is no room for discussion over it. Sheikh Abdullah became the Chief Minister of the State on the basis of the 1975 Accord reached between Mirza Afzal Beg and G Parthasarthy. We cannot over rule the agreement endorsed by such great leaders as Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and Indira Gandhi", he said.
The statement evoked severe reaction from NC additional general secretary, Dr Mustafa Kamaal. He accused Taj of distorting history. Kamaal believes that the 1975 Accord was an incomplete exercise. "Some issues including nomenclature were left for the Principals by Mirza Mohammad Afzal Beg and G Parthasarthy. The Principals never met and thus rendered the exercise incomplete", he said. Taj also hit hard at PDP's self rule formula. Surprisingly the PDP did not respond.
GH Mir is the second senior politician from the mainstream spectrum to comment on autonomy and self rule. Talking to a local news agency yesterday he said: "Self Rule and Autonomy are impracticable, emotive and sensational having no relevance in the context of present scenario," Mir asserted.
In an interview with a local news agency he said, "There is no substance in these proposals to ameliorate socio-economic conditions of people of the State. People want peace, prosperity and development," he said the only viable formula is to empower the common masses economically.
Interestingly both the leaders have laid emphasis on the 1975 Accord. Both believe that the Accord presented a better solution to the problem. Of late, the National Conference has been saying that the Accord was not signed. Dr Mustafa Kamaal repeatedly said that the Accord was incomplete.
A question arises. Why is National Conference rejecting the Accord now? And why do some people like Taj and Mir vouch for it? Is something cooking up somewhere?
