I don’t
support BJP to the extent to which I hate Congress for their appeasement
politics, the sold media for their selective outrage and the fake liberals for nothing
but their fakeness.
Recently former union minister, P
Chidambaram has given a statement supporting the complete autonomy of Jammu and
Kashmir. To cover up his statement he added that this should be done within the
constitutional framework.
First of all
let me tell you this is not the very first time that a strong leader of the
congress party has showed his intention for providing complete autonomy to
Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier such statements have already been made by few of
their other prominent leaders like P.V. Narasimharao ji and Manmohan Singh ji.
You can tell
me that, even Vajpayee ji during his tenure had agreed to talk on this matter.
Yes, he had. He had agreed to talk but had never made any statement supporting
complete autonomy for J&K. In June 26, 2000 when the state assembly of
J&K had passed the autonomy resolution, center had pushed it aside, though
two years later; Vajpayee ji made the statement that the center was always open
to talk.
But the Congress
party has always been famous for its appeasement politics. They have always
tried to provide the fake momentary pleasures to lure the minority voters
rather than working for their betterment in real.
If P Chidambaram
is so much worried for providing complete autonomy to the state, then why did
he never raise this issue earlier and why did his party never brought changes
in the 370 article even after staying in power for so many years?
Why the
outrage found crevices to ooze out in the recent time when the ruling party is
looking forward to solve this issue and have come up with the idea of engaging an
interlocutor to carry out talks?
The article
of 370 was furnished under the leadership of respected lt. Pandit Jawaharlal
Nehru Ji. The autonomy of Kashmir except defense, finance, Ext. affairs and
communications was agreed when their party was in power, thus depriving this
state from complete autonomy. The flaws in the very same article were made
under the rule of their party. This temporary article was carried on for years
as such without any amendment even after their party was in rule for the
maximum time.
And now when
I hear such a statement from the leading member of the same party, I am
compelled to ask, WHY?
Is it your
insecurities that are coming out in the form of such statements?
Is this just
another way to appease a particular community?
Is this just
another means to create unrest in the affected area when the Government is
sending a party to talk?
Or is this
just your own opinion that you shared now? Even if it is so, my question still
stands there, why? Why now? Why not before?
What is
autonomy within constitutional framework?
What is the
meaning of providing J&K complete autonomy but still keeping it intact to
India?
I believe
complete autonomy and the idea of still staying with the nation cannot co-exist
at the same time.
And this is for
sure that an independent Kashmir cannot survive on its own. It had failed to do
so in past and it will tumble down if given a chance in the future too. If it
can survive, then I think this 370 article wouldn’t have come into force in the
first place. The independence that they are shouting for was theirs only. It
was their king who pleaded infront of the government of India for protection
after being attacked by Pakistan.
Many leaders
of the Congress party have distanced themselves from the statement made by P
Chidambaram. The party has also announced that it was his personal opinion and the
party shares nothing in common with him in this context. I agree to it
completely. It is not correct to question the entire party for the opinion of any
single person.
But why
isn’t this idea applicable when you accuse some other party just because of the
statements made by its members? Even the paid media joins you in this row blindly
and defames many who are not even involved in it, just to satisfy your political
needs.
Recently why
BJP was questioned for the opinion given by Sangeet Som about the TajMahal? Why
no one leaves a chance to accuse BJP for the provocative speeches made by some
of its party members? Why Narendra Modi ji was questioned when a person whom he
followed in social media made some disgraceful statement? Infact there was a
huge protest against the honorable PM of our country leading to a popular hash
tag trend to unfollow him. The statement made by the person whom honorable PM
followed was shameful but wasn’t it his personal opinion? Then why the PM and
the entire party was dragged in for someone else’s personal opinion?
This idea of
treating personal opinions as someone’s personal feelings and not linking it to
others and disgracing the entire political party is a good idea. But why is
this privilege given to a particular party? Why is there always a selective
outrage from certain media houses?
The whole
idea of granting complete autonomy to J&K itself arises numerous numbers of
questions. Why complete autonomy to a state? Why not to work in the direction
of solving their issues, so that there will be no demand for complete autonomy
in future? What if complete autonomy will lead to a serious security threat? What
if separatists will find the completely autonomous state most favorable ground
to achieve their aim? Will not it be like cheating those brave soldiers who for
years are fighting relentlessly in the valleys to maintain peace? Will not it be
like disrespecting those sacrifices made for protecting this soil?
Kashmir issue
is delicate as well as complicated. So, it needs to be tackled efficiently and
peacefully only by talks. That is the reason why I think political parties as
well as their leaders should refrain themselves from making their opinions
public, especially in the time when we are expecting a talk between the
government representative and Kashmir leaders. We are not in a state to handle
any kind of unrest or hindrance to the peace talk that someone’s opinion can
make.
Let’s hope
that the talk yields some good results that will bring peace in the valley.
