During the past few days , Shri Rajnath
Singhji ( Home Minister ) has spoken several times, about finding a permanent solution to
Kashmir Issue
Hindustan Times ( 04 June
) reports following :
Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday reiterated the
Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government is
working towards a “permanent
solution” to the seven-decade-old Kashmir issue but added it may take
“some time”.
This is the second
time that the home minister has spoken about a government plan to find a permanent solution to the
conflict in Kashmir, which is battling decades of a violent separatist
campaign, in the last few weeks.
Singh, however, refused to divulge anything else about the “permanent solution” while
addressing a press conference on the completion of three years of the Narendra
Modi government.
“I have said this with utmost responsibility after much thinking
and deliberations. We have some plans and are working in this direction and
will find a solid solution
in the future. It may take some time,” Singh said when asked what he meant by a
permanent solution.”
----------------------------------------------------------
While praying for the success
of Shri Rajnathji’s efforts , I cannot escape the following questions :
·
Will the solution be
acceptable to the PEOPLE of India ( including
Kashmir ) and Pakistan ?
·
Will it also be
acceptable to those POLITICIANS ( on either side ), who
have , for 70 years , managed to remain in power by keeping the Kashmir Issue
boiling ?
·
Will it be acceptable to sundry FOREIGN POWERS , who do not want
India and Pakistan to stop fighting over Kashmir and thereby, keep them from
growing / prospering in peace ? ( Who will buy their military ware ? )
·
Will the POLITICAL LEADERS ( of both India and
Pakistan ) have the courage to tell their fellow citizens there can be no
permanent solution without a COMPROMISE
/ a GIVE – and – TAKE ?
·
Can
my following suggestions become the basis for a solution ?
