Petty politics

Sir,
In J&K people have once again played an important role in the ongoing voting process for Parliamentary elections similar to that of local bodies and Panchayat. This participation of people has opened the eyes of the Separatists and other politicians who directly or indirectly support such forces. The boycott calls and threat perception of gun has not deterred voters of the Valley in casting their vote. The Kashmir Centric politicians do not hesitate in rousing the sentiments of the people to perpetuate their rule onwards. They even call stone pelters freedom fighters for their political ends. They time and again raise much hue and cry with regard to Art 35-A and try to exploit the voters in the name of article 370 that guarantees special status to the State. Here I am at a loss to understand who has changed the nomenclative of PM and Sadar-e-Riyasat of Jammu and Kashmir State ? It is a million dollar question that people of the State want to know who is responsible for KPs exhodus? Those who advocate and market Kashmir as disputed are befooling the voters. No one can deny the fact that militancy in the Valley is not sponsored by our neighbour only but who rigged 1986 elections in the Valley? It is better to focus on development issues than to raise bogus issues.
