[Reader-list] IS KASHMIR AUTONOMY VIABLE?

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Bipin
 
It would be more educative if you read it up yourself on the internet, so that you understand all the aspects that I might not be able to do justice to. 
 
To help you in this, please go through the relevant websites thrown up by:
http://www.google.ae/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLJ_en___AE328&q=autonomy+kashmir+1953
 
I do not have anything further to add to this topic.

Dear Bipin

 

You did not read all of what I wrote.

 

The demand is for increase in 'autonomy' to take it to the level that it existed at prior to 1953.

 

It is this demand from one section of the polity in Kashmir that was addressed by PM Singh. That is the section which wants Kashmir to continue as a part of India. Singh also qualified his comment by saying it could be discussed within the allowances of the Constitution. So, your questioning the integrity of the PM has no foundation.

That is what the problem. J&K is already enjoying autonomy what more still PM offering? It’s real questionable integrity of the PM. 
 
In my opinion J&K problem is this autonomy only, which should be removed fully.
 
Thanks

J&K already enjoys some sort of 'autonomy'. It has a Constitution of it's own

 

What the BJP perhaps is objecting to is an 'increase' in that 'autonomy' that would take the relationship between J&K and the rest of the country to 'pre-1953 status' meaning for that relationship to be strictly as per the Instrument of Accession.

remark/articleshow/6292479.cms



NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has questioned Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh's statement on autonomy for Jammu and Kashmir, saying
autonomy for the state won't be tolerated. 

The BJP targeted the prime minister in Parliament on the issue and termed it
as unfortunate. 

Manmohan Singh had on Tuesday night said that the Centre was willing to
consider autonomy for the state within the ambit of the Constitution. 

Reaching out the people of the state, Singh told a meeting of
representatives of various political parties from the state in New Delhi
that if there was a consensus between them on autonomy, the Centre would
consider it within the ambit of the Constitution. 

"We are all servants of the Constitution. There are many shades of opinion
in various parts of Jammu and Kashmir. I and my senior ministers present
here show our seriousness in addressing the issues," he said. 

Prime Minister said that he was aware of the alienation of the people of
Jammu and Kashmir and that it had to be removed. "Jammu and Kashmir
residents must have a life of self-respect and dignity," he emphasized. 


Thanks

Bipin Trivedi
