Pavan K. Varma | With trust as weapon, forge a Naya Kashmir

Deccan Chronicle  

Chanakya had a basic dictum: you cannot rule a people against their will. The most important takeaway from the meeting was that the principal Opposition parties in Kashmir, the People’s Democratic Party and the National Conference, attended. It is expected that after delimitation the number of seats in Jammu would go up, thereby upsetting the current numerical domination of Kashmir representatives. Apart from incarcerating an entire state, BJP leaders have till recently reviled the grouping of the Opposition parties in Kashmir as the Gupkar gang. The Centre must take necessary steps to rectify the memories of the past, release political detainees wherever feasible, and carry out the delimitation exercise with utmost transparency and sincerity.
