J and K Agreement.

It seems agenda for governance between PDP and BJP in J&K has gone beyond the agenda of political parties forming the rules for sharing the power. It has entered in the area of central government (like treatment of refugees, LOC etc) and RBI (all lending to be priority sector for 5 years) and so on.
While reading I felt as though it is international treaty entered between Ruler of independent Kashmir and Indian Government something like agreement of 1948. 
The agreement needs more scrutiny as effects of these will affecting/ binding on future state govt. and central government.
How perception differs, is to be realised while we mainstream citizen feel BJP has compromised its position on Article 370 for power, in an interview NC leader and ex-cm Omar Abdulla says, article 370 is part of basic constitution and India and Kashmir agreement and BJP cannot do anything about it. Reviewing article 370 means revisiting India and J&K agreement of 1948 ( and is BJP ready to do that ?).
Same way he blames PDP (we blame BJP) for diluting position on AFSPA which they had promised to abolish within 1 year of coming to power. He also states that abolishing AFSPA is purely in the hands of state government and PDP has abdicated this power to centre who will never repeal the act.
On other political and social issues also he says nothing is new and they have been part of Governor’s address for last 10 years. In fact he blames PDP to compromise on promise of “Self Rule” in Kashmir for the sake of power.
While rejecting the claim that BJP-PDP alliance is like North and South pole together, he said as far as my understanding goes ( of science) if  two poles come together it is total catastrophe, I hope it is not so.
