Kashmir acceds to India

 

  

On October 24, H.E. President Maharaja Hari Singh ji appealed to India for military aid to flush out the raiders. India obliged but not before the Instrument of Accession was signed on October 26. It limited India’s powers over the Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh to matters of defence, communications, and foreign affairs.

If common citizens of JK are against abrogation of article 370, then how there is a reduction in militant  attacks , azadi marches and stone pelting incidents in the Valley post abrogation? Have Jammu and Kashmir residents started boycotting  seperatists?



 

Article-370: The Supreme Court of India rejected the Government of India's argument saying that it would make its decision on constitutional grounds.

So according to you first Kashmiris have to engage in militant attacks ,azadi marches and stone-pelting and subsequent to that lose a hundreds and thousands lives and only then our protest will be registered? It’s unfortunate how people knowingly or unknowingly are incentivizing violence in Jammu and Kashmir.

Now you mentioned boycott of separatists. On that I think Article 370 was not even a issue of separatists and militants. In their own words it was a ‘foreign article of a foreign constitution’. They never recognized the legitimacy of the accession or the constitution of India or for that matter even CONSTITUTION OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR. Why would they be bothered by ABRROGATIONOF ARTICLE 370?

Article 370 was a issue of disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir  population and they don’t protest by violence. They even don’t protest by peaceful processions anymore since they know peaceful rallies often get hijacked by stone-pelters. We protest in the parliament we protest in the SC we protest by our writings. We protest by voting in elections.
If you any doubts regarding the disapproval of 5 Aug 2019 by JAMMU AND KASHMIR CITIZENS then please look at the recent DDC elections results. It was the first electoral exercise after 5 Aug 2019 and PAGD- People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration won entire Kashmir and even won 35 seats in Jammu. Poor BJP could only secure half of Jammu. This essentially means that the majority of J&Kites are against 5 Aug 2019. Or if this doesn’t suffice then please come to J&K and speak to every section of J&Kites and find out the truth for yourself. Go ahead do a survey!
Now over the issues of militancy. I don’t believe militancy has decreased post 5 Aug 2019. There have been many militant attacks post 5 Aug 2019, their own BJP workers got killed in these incidents. Even they admitted that they are not allowing 4G because of ‘security concerns’. It was only after more than 500 days or so they allowed 4G. The number of militant incidents might have decreased by a slight margin but I am sorry that’s half news because the recruitment of militants increased post 5 Aug 2019.[5]BJP often sells half baked truths for their electoral gains. They always sell their agenda by something on the pattern of “We killed X number of militantss” but they never give you an account of “X number of Kashmiris joined militant ranks due to disillusionment caused by our policies”
