Answer:
Delivering a speech on National Security – Current Perspective,
Union Minister of Home Affairs Shri Amit Shah said that Kashmir
has been a contentious issue since 1949. He added that there were
many misunderstandings regarding the abrogation of Article 370,
not just in Kashmiris but in the rest of India as well, and they must
be removed.
Speaking of India’s immediate post-independence history, Shri
Shah said that amidst the initial struggle for survival, newly freed
India had yet another question: that of uniting the 630 disparate
princely states into one union. He hailed the role of Sardar Patel in
forging a united India as instrumental and praised histireless
perseverance towards the task.
Shri Shah spoke in detail of Jammu and Kashmir’s chequered
history and the opposition against Maharaja from 1930s. He added
that the state had become a part of the union of India the moment
the instrument of accession was signed. He said that the
declaration of ceasefire in 1948, just when the Indian army
waswinning the war, was a mistake. He added that because of this
mistake, while there was no trouble in uniting 630 princely states
with India, the complete unification of Jammu and Kashmir with
India took August 2019 to fructify.
Shri Shah added that Jammu and Kashmir is a bilateral issue and
the UN has no place in it. He noted that the application of Article
370 was a mistake and that neither the people of Jammu and
Kashmir nor India had benefited from the same. He called Article
370 harmful for the unity of the nation. He also said that Article
370 had confined the Kashmiri culture to a geographical corner of
the country and with its removal, the culture of the state would
spread to other parts of the nation.
Hailing Shri Shyama Prasad Mukherjee as the first civilian martyr
for the cause of Kashmir, Shri Shah said that Shri Mukherjee
always believed that we do not need permission to visit anywhere in
our own country.
Shri Shah noted that there was no anti-corruption bureau in
Jammu and Kashmir before the removal of Article 370 and in spite
of being allotted 2,77,00 crore rupees by the Union Government
since independence, the state had not been able to develop because
of prevalent corruption.
Shri Shah remarked that every unprecedented reform has teething
problems and people must have patience in order to enjoy the fruits
of these reforms. Thanking the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi,
Shri Shah said that the people of India are welcoming this
momentous decision with open arms.
Shri Shah added that an accurate version of history must be
presented to the people, and that a distorted version of history had
been presented, because those who had made the mistakes were in
charge of writing the history of that time. He said that the dream of
a united India had been fulfilled with the abrogation of Article 370
and 35A. He noted that there had been no terror attacks in Jammu
and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370. Shri Shah also
noted that out of 196 police stations, only 8 have section 144
imposed in their respective areas.
Shri Shah said that the benefits of the removal of Article 370 would
soon be visible, and that the benefits of various schemes of the
central government would now reach the people of Jammu and
Kashmir. He also said that infinite possibilities beckon the
development of the tourism sector in Jammu and Kashmir.
