Slamming Omar Abdullah for his separatist psyche, Arun Jaitley asserts J&K to be an integrated integral part of India

New Delhi, April 2: The situation in the state of Jammu and Kashmir has been very tensed ever-since the Pulwama attack took place on February 14. The intensified atmosphere in Kashmir has triggered some unreasonable and unwanted reactions from the opposition parties giving a hint of separatist views. In one such instance, BJP leader and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has hit out at National Conference leader Omar Abdullah's alleged remarks on the revival of Wazir-e-Azam-and Sadar-e-Riyasat posts in Jammu and Kashmir.

 

In a Facebook post, titled ‘Ek Desh Mein Do Vidhan, Do Pradhan’, Jailtey said, the new India will never allow any Government to commit such blunders. He also said the two mainstream parties in Kashmir are increasingly losing their identity. Describing the link with Article 35A, Jaitley asserted that the if there is no Article 35A, it will break the link as the state and the country is bonded by it.

 

Assigning that Omar Abdullah's remarks only intended to create a separatist’s psyche, Arun Jaitley made sure that he places some facts before everyone so that people will have a clear image of the picture. India has very well made clear that the separatists and the terrorist’s intension will be crushed if they try to harm the country’s glorifying crown state. It has already given a loud and clear message both to the separatists, terrorists and Pakistan that Azadi is not a distant possibility. It is an impossibility.

“The argument is completely unacceptable. Article 35A was not there in 1947 when the Instrument of Accession was signed in the month of October. In 1950, when the Constitution came into force, it was not there. It was only surreptitiously inserted in 1954. How can it be the essential Constitutional link? The challenge is being heard by the Supreme Court. Why intimidate the Court which is hearing the matter. History is never reversed by Court judgements. The argument of revocability is as absurd as a suggestion that if the Indian Independence Act was revoked by the British Parliament, we will lose our Independence.”

The National Conference President’s statement that they will demand the revival of the post of Wazir-e-Azam and Sadar-e-Riyasat is only intended to create a separatists psyche. Little do these demandeurs realise how much they are hurting the country as also their own people. The new India will never allow any Government to commit such blunders.
