diga Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday reiterated his party's stand that the state's accession was not a merger with the Indian Union in 1947. "While all the states acceded to the union of India and then merged with it, Jammu & Kashmir only acceded and not merged. That is why we have special status, our own constitution and the flag,'' he said while talking to a European Union Delegation. He said the Kashmir issue was linked to the partition when future of all states except Jammu & Kashmir was decided and underlined the need for a sustained dialogue with Pakistan and separatists. Omar said there were diverse views regarding the issue. "While one extremist view is for cession, the other is total merger of the state with the union of India,'' he said. "Unless the process of dialogue is started with a view to find out flexibility in both of the views and carve out a roadmap of addressing the issues, the position will not change.'' He said the Constitution provides a framework for dialogue with separatists.
surajmal Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Amazing. I guess "Indians" are chewtiyas that they are allowing a portion of their taxes to fund separatists en masse.
The Outsider Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Not sure what the OP's stance is, but there is nothing wrong with what Omar has said. Jammu and Kashmir did sign the treaty accession, but it was not the final fate of the state at that point. A plebiscite was planned and even article 376 was introduced so that the demographics of the state do not change before the plebiscite. Yes, this has changed historically. But even till date the Line of Control has not been codified as the international border. How can the current situation be classified as merged? Formal merging will happen once the state's border is codified and article 376 is removed.

G_B_ Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 IMO they need to carve out three states. Ladakh, Kashmir and Jammu

Macj Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 That's because you never allowed other Indians to move freely , buy property , build business and integrate completely with rest of India.
jf1gp_1 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 then go merge with pakistan, what abdula needs is kayanis d-ick up his a-ss
zumi Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 it's difficult to merge when the rest of India are not allowed to invest, buy properties, or even celebrate their holidays in Kashmir. Kashmir is demonstrator for what happens when an Indian state is majority ruled by muslims.

Kashmir is demonstrator for what happens when an Indian state is majority ruled by muslims. Not absolving them of their share of the blame, but the brain dead policies like article 370 came from Kaangressi govt with vote bank politics in mind. Truly a Nehruvian frackup that has turned out to be a cancer for India.
