R.S.S. Resolution on Trifurcation of J & K State

R.S.S. Resolution on Trifurcation of J & K State

Question - Answered

(1) Q. There is a countrywide apprehension that trifurcation of the state amounts to handing over the Kashmir Valley to Pakistan. Then India's security will be far more endangered.
Ans. This apprehension is entirely due to total ignorance about the ground reality in the Valley. Firstly, the Muslims in the valley are dead afraid of joining Pakistan: The blood curdling memories of 1947 Oct when hordes from N.W.F.P. descended on Kashmir, killing raping plundering and turning the fair land of Kashmir into a veritable hell for the Kashmiris. Even National Conference is against merging with Pakistan.

2) Q. Kashmir Valley may decide to declare its independence and sever its ties with the rest of Bharat.
Ans. Once that step is taken and the Indian security forces are withdrawn, within hardly a day or two, the Pakistan will overrun the Valley and the same fate described above will await the Kashmiris. Even now, Indian Security forces are there in full strength and the Kashmiris are able to breathe a free air. The leadership there is well aware that this would be a suicidal step. So long as Indian Army is there, there is no chance of any part of J & K State going to Pakistan. Pakistan knows its.

(3) Q. The Govt. and our other leading opinion makers condemn the demand for Trifurcation as communal.
Ans. This again is born out of awful ignorance of the complexion of the Jammu region. It contains 3 districts with overwhelming Muslims majority and they are as insistent on this demand as the other district with Hindu-majority. In fact, the very name Jammu And Kashmir State implies two natural regions right from the beginning of the formation of the state. And the Jammu region consists of precisely the same districts as those included in the area being demanded as a separate State. As regards the Ladhak region, both the BJP and Congress have already passed resolutions for making the Ladhak region into an Union Territory.

(4) Q. Why the Jammu people are pressing for separate Statehood?
Ans. There is scorching discrimination against them vis-à-vis the Kashmiris. For ex: in services admission of students to higher studies, development, allotment of Central funds, formation of electoral constituencies, while 2 lakhs Hindus who have settled in Jammu, after the end of Pak aggression in 1947, are stranded as stateless citizens in the state who can vote only to parliament, but not to the J&K Assembly. Muslims who had then fled to Pakistan and become full-fledged Pak-citizens are now invited back to the state as full-fledged State citizens. Added to this is the systematic settling of Kashmiri Muslims in Jammu region giving them all facilities whereas the Hindus hounded out of the Valley are even now living in tents or other make-shift arrangements. All this naturally resulting in a dangerous demographic shift.

5) Q. But the Govt. has outright rejected the demand?
Ans: They will be forced to reconsider their stand once the demand is backed up by a massive expression of the people's will. This is what happened in the case of Punjab, Jharkhand and Uttaranchal.

(6) Q. Have you discussed the demand with the Govt.?
Ans: Yes, quite a few times-but they have no answer. Probably, they are also helpless in forcing Dr. Farooq Abdulla to act fair and justly. Hence no other way is left except taking to agitation.

(7) Q. Do you think the people's protest will be powerful enough? What will be the role of R.S.S.?
Ans: Definitely, yes. The RSS will extend its wholehearted support to the movement, which is headed by a separate forum, which includes representations from all parts of the region including Muslim majority districts mentioned above.

(8) Q. How could you assess the people's mood before deciding to support the movement?
Ans. It has been going on, specially for over the last two years. In 2001, our Akhil Bharariya Pratinidhi sabha had resolved to assess the feelings of the various regions of the state. Towards that end, a 3-member team headed by Shri Jitendra Veer Gupta, ex-Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana toured extensively the entire area and submitted its report and the present decision is based on that report.

(9) Q. Do you expect that the opinion of the Jammu will be reflected in the Assembly elections due for October?
Ans. Definitely provided the elections are conducted in a free and fair manner. But we do not feel that with the present Govt. in power that will hardly happen. The only way out is imposition of Governor's rule - which possibility has already been voiced by our Prime Minister.

(10) Q. Will there not be adverse international opinion?
Ans. Our Country has already had the bitter experience for over 50 years of what it nature is. It has never supported any of the genuine issues gravely affecting the interests of our country. On the contrary it has always sought to pressurize us to act against our national interest. It is also equally true that whenever our national leadership took a firm stand and went ahead executing it, the so-called international pressure had to keep quiet.
