Honorable - Prime Minster Shri Modi Ji
Kashmir – Where we Stand ?
There are two
most important issue of our foreign policy initiatives, first and fore most Indo-Pak
relation in the second is Sino India relations we stand on both issues exposed
and we are indirectly charming and glorifying our absurd and ill-founded newly
founded foreign policy.
Valley is
burning since July 2016. Hundreds have been killed or wounded. Recently held by
election in the valley registered the poorest
voting percentage – just 7.5% are the locals rejecting the process of
democratic India ?
What do we do ?
Begin talks or things will worsen
A growing number of youth in Kashmir
are finding militancy an attractive option
The Valley is
caught in the midst of a vicious cycle, in which more and more youth are
finding militancy to be an attractive option. The numbers tabled in Parliament
are a scary reminder of the fact that local Kashmiris are choosing violence : 2016
saw 88 locals join militancy, up from 21 in 2012 and 16 in 2013. The number of
encounters too is up and so are civilian deaths because the youth are now
pelting stones at the security forces at encounter sites and helping militants
escape.
Breaking the
vicious cycle is imperative and it cannot be done with force. If the answer lay
in stamping out protests with an iron boot, the youth would not be back on the
streets after over a 100 killings and blindings that followed the death of
militant commander Burhan Wani last year. All stone pelters are clearly not
Pakistan’s handmaidens. Kashmir’s problem is intrinsically political, not
military. No answer can flow from the barrel of a gun. The way forward-as the
summer months approach-lies in engagement.
It must reach
out, sooner rather than later.
WE THE PEOPLE OF INDIA IT IS TIME TO
PONDER.
