The latest statement of Mr. Abdullah referring to India ought to return portion of Kashmir acquired in the battle of 1965 to Pakistan and Kashmiris are not slaves of India leaves an impression that though he is living in India, but has a very soft heart for Pakistan when it comes to solving a long standing Kashmir problem. He also suggests that LoC should be converted to Line of Peace. But he is forgetting one thing and that is that the civilian government in Pakistan has no say in this matter, and the military of Pakistan wants to keep this issue alive because it is a source of its sustenance. The hotter the Kashmir border, the urgent need for Pakistan to have a strong military. This is the key. Pakistan does not love Kashmir, it is a political and just a prestigious issue for them to stay alive militarily. Because of their failed foreign policy and lack of financial resources, they could not keep East Pakistan as part of Pakistan, Balochistan is on the verge of separation, Karachi is burning, KPP is beyond their control, then how can one expect them to expand their territorial objective. There are only three ways to live with this Kashmir problem- one being the present status quo- keep fighting, second being accept LoC as an international border and live peacefully on their own respect side of the border and the third being a full scale attack and the winner takes it all. There is no other way to handle this issue. Mr. Abdullah is making provocative statements most of the times. I am wondering when three generations of his own family were sitting on the throne, why did they not work with the central government to solve this issue. Why did they not try to revoke an Article 370 from the Constitution which is the main stumbling block to achieve any liveable solution. It is easy to criticize while sitting outside the camp, but very difficult to exert efforts to find a tenable solution. Mr. Abdullah should talk to the central government, his own party and Ms. Mehbooba's party and delete an Article 370 from the Constitution and move forward.
