Elections in
J&K State
Sir,
The recent news
item indicating Mr Shabir Shah's willingness to
contest elections and to bring out the true
representatives speaks for his anxiety to bring
an end to ugly situations prevailing in the
State.
Judging from his
keenness to find a pragmatic solution for the
vexed problem, striving to retrieve the last
glory in Kashmir, his role in the prevailing
conditions is very much valued as he makes
himself valuable. His inclination to contest
elections but under the supervision of either
international observers or Indian intelligentsia
reflect his positive approach for the improvement
of internal disorder, a cumulative voice of one
and all.
Mr Shah's
inhibitions to conduct elections in free and fair
manner is the outcome of past mistakes that has
made life wretched and unpleasant in Kashmir.
If it may not
sound hyperbolic, personally I do not see eye to
eye with Mr Shah's desire to conduct elections
under the supervision of International observers.
It will be like dressing the skelton with another
man's skin. This may give a bad taste. As regards
choice for Indian Intelligentsia it reeks and
aesthetic sense and should pose no hitch in
accepting it to plug doubts and apprehensions.
Here I have some names quite prominent that may
suit you to carry on your noble mission.
Mr. T. N. Seshan,
Mr. Jyoti Basu, K. P. S. Gill, Kiran Bedi, Mr
Sangama. These names are quite familiar and needs
no further introduction and elucidation.
Besides let be
very frank here that it ultimately depends upon
the people to seek and search for the architect
for delivery of goods in a scientific and
rational way. It is therefore, our moral duty to
educate the masses instilling in them the right
choice persuading not to be swayed by the greedy
politicians and their dramatic pledges.
It also looks
odious to doubt the integrity of the Election
Commission of India who have conducted the
elections in our country from time to time.
J&K State is the only unfortunate State where
the people are dis-satisfied and resentful losing
their faith in this highest Institution.
In the end let all
of us work consciously and bring back the lost
glory of Kashmir.
Yours etc....
