Splitting J&K: What the RSS said

Excerpts from the trifurcation resolution announced in Kurukshetra

The Akhil Bhartiya Karyakari Mandal (ABKM) expresses its grave concern over the fast deteriorating situation in recent years in the J&K state due to the separatists and terrorist activities. This situation has been aggravated by the slogan of autonomy for the state...

About two lakh Hindu adults are voters for the Parliamentary elections but not for the State Assembly; the duration of the State Assembly is six years and not five as in other States, a discriminating  law that makes a woman marrying a man outside the State of J&K, in other parts of the country, lose her right in her father’s property and status of a state subject whereas a woman marrying a man hailing from Pakistan getting the right to make her husband its citizen, and harassment of Hindu citizens by asking them proof of their citizenship of the State while conferring it on the known foreign terrorists and settling them in and around Jammu speak volumes of sinister motives of the present National Conference Government under Dr Farooq Abdullah. However, the ABKM notes that there is a ray of hope...There are saner people in the state who do not want the cover of Article 370, who are against any sort of autonomy and who want full integration with Bharat.

The ABKM, therefore, resolves as under:

i) The people of Jammu think that the solution of their problems lies in the separate statehood for Jammu region. This has been demonstrated by the agitation spearheaded by the Jammu-Kashmir National Front and other organisations. To brand this demand for a separate statehood for Jammu region, which includes the Muslim majority districts of Poonch, Rajouri and Doda as communal, is either crass ignorance or motivated prejudice.

ii) The ABKM supports the demand for UT status for Ladakh region.

iii) ABKM offers all its support to the forces in the Kashmir valley that are for full integration with Bharat.

iv) The ABKM feels deeply concerned about the fate of Kashmiri Hindus who have been hounded out of their homes by the Jehadi Muslim elements. The ABKM calls upon the governments, both Central and State, to have a dialogue with these unfortunate people and find a way for their safe and secure rehabilitation in the Kashmir valley.

v) It is also very important that every precaution be taken to ensure free and fair elections in J&K. In view of the past experience the present NC government cannot generate confidence that it will help conduct free and fair elections.
