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.
