Fight for Kashmir

One should not expect wonders in establishing peace in Kashmir from the Governor’s Rule in Jammu & Kashmir. One can hope things will improve. There is no doubt that Pakistan is behind the present situation in Kashmir. Pakistan leaders cannot politically survive unless they concentrate on creating problems in Kashmir. The Governor/government must learn a lesson from Sardar Patel’s life and actions. Even exPM Lal Bahadur Shashtri acted bravely against Pakistan in 1965 war while Indira Gandhi acted bravely in Bangladesh (East Pakistan) war. Now, Defence minister Nirmala and Prime Minister Narendra Modi should act to end these day-to-day problems in Kashmir by giving full powers to army to deal with it suitably. This is the only solution to end not just the Kashmir problem but also Pakistan’s daily attacks on LoC. The PoK must be taken back from Pakistan. — Mahesh Kapasi
