EMERGENCY IN JAMMU & KASHMIR
The BJP on Tuesday ended its three-year-old alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pulled out of the PDP-led Jammu and Kashmir government, setting the stage for yet another round of Governor’s rule.
BJP general secretary Ram Madhav made the surprise announcement after the party high command summoned its Jammu and Kashmir ministers for emergency consultations in New Delhi. A few hours later, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti submitted her resignation to Governor N N Vohra amid a swirl of political activity in Srinagar and New Delhi.
The killing of the journalist, police personnel and the army soldier on his way home for Eid, were the proverbial 'last nail in the coffin'. The timing of the abrogation of the alliance was to a great extent, influenced by the increased threats to the forthcoming Amarnath Yatra.
The primary reason is that there is a lack of synergy in the actions of the multiple stakeholders in the state. There is a need for concurrent action with respect to proactive administration to redress grievances, political engagement and relentless pressure on inimical elements. What it implies is that improved governance, retention of pressure on terrorists through the kinetic application of force by the army and CPOs, engagement of separatist leadership by the political apparatus and innovative psychological initiatives to address the existing angst of the youth of the Valley, need to be 'simultaneous, concurrent and consistent'.
In conclusion, it must be noted that there is a euphoria even in the people of the Valley. They feel that the improved security situation under the Central rule, will revive trade and commercial activity, increase the tourist footfall and give them an opportunity to increase their earnings. Even the people in Jammu and Ladakh are excited because there will now be due attention given to their development and infrastructure requirements. The government needs to use this time to once again look at formalizing an 'all-party long-term strategy' for the state.
