Sensible voices from India oppose abrogation of special status for Kashmir

The Indian government on August 5 announced to repeal the special status given to the occupied Kashmir under the constitution’s Article 370 and Section 35 A, and bifurcated the region into two Union Territories – Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. The arbitrary move is feared to spark unrest in the disputed territory.

The latest move by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reflects its extremist ideology. There are a large number of Indian politicians who share the government’s ideology to further subjugate the people of Kashmir. At the same time, there are some sane voices who have sensible reasons to oppose this.

A group of politicians and other influencers fear that the abrogation of Article 370 will pave the way for the BJP’s dream of making India a Hindutva state to fulfill. They also fear that this may lead to scrapping special rights given to other Indian states such as Nagaland, Assam, Manipur, Andhra Pradesh and Sikkim under Article 371 A to I.

Member of the opposition in Indian parliament and Congress president Rahul Gandhi declared it “an abuse of executive power” which had grave implications for national security. A senior Public Interest Lawyer and Activist Prashant Bhushan said it was unconstitutional.

A New Delhi based journalist raised the question that whether accession of the territory stood null and void now as it was conditional to Article 370 and Section 35A.

An Indian Parliamentary member P Chidambaram said the future generations would realize what a grave mistake the house had made.

TK Rangarajan said in Rajya Sabha: “Indian constitution has been raped by the BJP govt.”

Leader of Opposition in Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly and President Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party M K Stalin expressed his party’s support for “Kashmiri brothers and sisters” and said he would oppose any assault on the federal structure.

Things to come while we squabble among ourselves

India’s extremist and unilateral decision has dissented even those Kashmiri leaders who have been part of mainstream politics.

Former chief minister of the State of Jammu and Kashmir Sheikh Omar Abdullah said they would revive the demand of separate prime minister and president for the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti said it was a revocable link and, if India tempered with it, would revoke relations between Kashmir and India.

SUPREME COURT Judgment in case of SBI v Gupta holding:
1. President CANNOT abolish 370 WITHOUT recommendation of State Assembly
2. Even IF State Assembly stands dissolved (like now) does not mean 370 stands repealed

Unprecedented horror in Kashmir.

Everyone is heartbroken. A sense of defeat written on every face. Fall.
From citizens to subjects.
History has taken a catastrophic turn for all of us.
People are numb.
A people whose land, identity, history, was stolen, in broad day light.

M Tewari, Congress, in Lok Sabha: Indian constitution does not have only #Article370. It also has Article 371 A to I. They provide special rights to Nagaland, Assam, Manipur, Andhra, Sikkim etc. Today when you're scrapping Article 370,what message are you sending to these states? pic.twitter.com/3KESRZqR3y

National integration isn’t furthered by unilaterally tearing apart J&K, imprisoning elected representatives and violating our Constitution. This nation is made by its people, not plots of land.

This abuse of executive power has grave implications for our national security.

— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) August 6, 2019

Bifurcation of J&K requires consent of the elected assembly of the State. Also any amendment thru 370 to the subjects the Union can deal with in J&K, also requires consent of the J&K assembly. Can't be done by just President or Governor's consent. Unconstitutional

The abrogation of Article 370 hasn’t just made accession null & void but also reduces India to an occupation force in Jammu and Kashmir. https://t.co/PS6JxYhSaI

Jayaprakash Narayan on Kashmir, 1966: ‘If we continue to rule by force and suppress these people and crush them or change the racial or religious character of their state by colonization, or by any other means, then I think that means politically a most obnoxious thing to do’.

Thankful to CPI(M) for speaking up. By spinning stories about a possible attack on Amarnath Yatra, GOI pulled wool over the eyes of Kashmiris. Flagrant violation in the most cowardly manner possible. Shameful https://t.co/Q30fHpMbuj

Nothing is over if Opposition stands Firm!

Congress must raise these points in Parliament or else they don't even deserve to be called an Opposition!!

— Jagrity Sablok (@jagritysablok1) August 5, 2019

I urge the President of India to not precipitate the situation and not take any further steps in this regard until a democratically elected Government is formed there.

The DMK stands with its Kashmiri brothers and sisters and will oppose any assault on federal structure.

— M.K.Stalin (@mkstalin) August 5, 2019

Of all the people around me and on social media, I am disgusted by most of the so-called "journalists". The disservice they have done to the profession by being part of the propaganda machine wrt Kashmir is sickening.#KashmirUnderSiege #CommunicationBlackout

— Samiya Latief (@Samiyalatief) August 6, 2019

Kashmir’s mainstream political leaders have been jailed at secret locations.

This is unconstitutional & undemocratic.

It’s also short sighted and foolish because it will allow terrorists to fill the leadership vaccum created by GOI.

The imprisoned leaders must be released.

And now Pakistan’s historic stance on Kashmir:

https://twitter.com/WarisShehzad009/status/1158834134510448641

پاکستانیوں اپنے وجود کا احساس نہ دلایا تو ویسے ہی مٹ جاؤ گے، مسئلہ کشمیر کا نہیں مملکت پاکستان کے وجود کا ہے، آج کشمیر جل رہا ہے امریکہ کیا کہتا ہے، عرب کیا کرتے ہیں یہ چھوڑو تم کیا کرتے ہو اہم ہے ۔۔۔ مٹ جائیگی مخلوق تو انصاف کرو گے۔۔۔۔ منصف ہو تو حشر اٹھا کیون نہیں دیتے
