KASHMIR A DISPUTED TERRITORY...!!!!...????

  The attack on the member of Team Anna Mr. Bhushan, is deplorable act of violence. For many he did say what he had in his mind. He has right to say so and Constitution of India allows him to say whatever he has in his mind. He has expressed his views that Kashmir be allowed freedom if the people of that part of the country do not wish to be part of India. Let there be a plebiscite and let the people of that State decide their future, whether they want to be India or not? In his views, if the people decide that they do not wish to be part of India they should be granted freedom. (Ask him what if other parts of India also join the same band wagon)

Such a view is very dangerous from a person, who was not known to Indian masses few months ago! Mr. Bhushan may have been famous but his influence was limited to his profession. The Team Anna's fight against corruption brought him into the limelight. Nation was happy to have found him as he could fight with whims & fancies of Mr. Kapil Sibbal and likes.

Whatever may be his vision of Kashmir or his views on it, it should not have been expressed in in public. Such statements are political statements and I think team Anna & IAC are aloof from political adventures! He needs to understand that due to the IAC campaign he is known to whole of India. Not likes of Mr. Bhushans, anyone who is suggesting that solution, must understand that giving up on Kashmir, will be his life's last signature! No Indian will ever allow that thing to happen! Mr. Bhushan should have known what effect his statement will have on his own campaign as well as on the entire country. I feel that this was an absolutely irresponsible statement. What happened thereafter is regrettable as well as avoidable, but we know the reason for it.

People of India has suffered too much for Kashmir. Bomb blasts here & there. Thousands of people have laid their life for Kashmir, directly or Indirectly. Innocent people who were killed in the local trains, in Surat blast, New Delhi blasts and various other such terror strikes. Mumbai attack on 26/11, thousands of security personnel have laid their lives fighting terrorism in Kashmir, Kashmiri Pundits had to desert Kashmir, due to insurgency, Pakistan led conspiracies have made our life hell in our own land, all THESE EVENTS HAVE TOUGHENED OUR RESOLVE ABOUT KASHMIR. Every Indian in this country has toughened mentally , what may come, Kashmir will remain with India. If the Kashmiris want it or not. If they understand it and remain with India, they are welcome and their negative attitude could be forgiven and they could be welcome into the mainstream. But if the situation is otherwise, Indian are ready for bloodshed. They are ready for more bomb attacks and on the other side Kashmiris will have to be ready for the same!

Anyone who even thinks of considering the demand of separate Kashmir, is insulting the sacrifices given by India people all over the country. Terror strikes in J & K initially did not bother whole of India. But with the terror strike all over the country, has united the whole country against the freedom to Kashmir!!! The whole nation, not only Kashmir but Jammu, Delhi, Mumbai, Surat, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata and the entire nation has paid the price of their freedom struggle.

What freedom they want? They are free to do whatever they wish to do. Kashmiri people are perhaps last to understand their own politicians, who are minting money like anything and leaving the majority of the Kashmiri believe that the Indian Government is doing little for them and it is solely responsible for their plight. To an extent it is true but the local politicians are so powerful and so selfish that efforts by Indian Government never pays. Besides if you note the situation has always worsened during the Congress rule in the country, reason not very far away to fetch...!!!

It was my personal experience while visiting Kashmir, that the Government of India keeps too much trust on the local politicians, may it be National Conference or PDF led by Mehbooba Mufti, (who was once kidnapped by the same terror outfits, she boasts today ! ) for their actions. We need to directly contact people there. Secondly we need to remove Article 370 provision about the buying & selling of property. I envisaged the Billions of Rupees could be pumped into the Kashmir economy if such property buying & selling can be allowed, creating thousands of jobs.If the people are skeptical, make that such buying or selling needs Kashmiri with any number of Indian partners.

While visiting the tourists spots, I noted that the few local goons were controlling poor Kashmiri people. These locals goons had support of local politicians. These local politicians are the real culprit as they squeeze the arms of Indian Government on one side and the local poor Kashmiris on the other side  They are becoming richer & richer at the cost of poor local Kashmiri people. It will require a concerted efforts by people of Kashmir and firm actions from Indian Government to look into the problems of Kashmiri people and not what the local politicians show it to Indian Government.

What the Kashmiris are getting today, by keeping themselves aloof! They must understand that their freedom and their identity is safe under free India. I think they should ask the Muslims belonging to Ahemadia sect, residing in Pakistan, or for that reason even those who had migrated from India to Pakistan, still differentiated by terming them as MOHAJIRS.

By the time few Indians who have access to media likes of Mr. Bhushan, Mr.Mahesh Bhatt, should stay out of making any statements which are too sensitive for each and every Indian, who is directly or indirectly connected to the war of hatred & terror by terrorist organization, who have lately forgot, they are attacking innocent civilians for what?

Sacrifices made so are too much to give away for plebiscites. The blood shed suffered by the innocent civilians and those fighting our battles day and night, our security personnel, can not be given up that easily. Let the world remember Kashmir can become a nuclear flash-point in the Indian Sub-continent and we as a Indians are not afriad of it. At least we are not entirely responsible for it.

I think Mr.Bhushans & likes of him have got their message loud and clear....!!!
