If Article 370 is temporary, so is the accession of JK with India: Abdullah

[Champion_Usmani]

Srinagar: National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has said that if the Article 370 of the Indian Constitution is temporary so is the accession of JK with the Union of India.

“If the Article is temporary, so is the accession. When Hari Singh decided to accede to India, it was temporary. Moreover, it was also decided that a plebiscite will happen in which the people will decide weather they want to go with India or Pakistan. That didn’t happen, so how can they remove this Article.

Abdullah also reacted to the statement of Ram Madhav that National Conference and Congress are responsible for militancy in the state.

“They (BJP) are the real ghosts. What did they do after they got into an alliance with the PDP. They have destroyed the state. They are targeting us because they know that National Conference is coming back into power. And we showed them that in the recent polls,” he said.

Recently, Home Minister of India Amit Shah had said that the Article 370 is temporary and the Government will take appropriate action on appropriate time.

Moreover, BJP’s National Secretary Ram Madhav had said that the Article 370 has to go ‘ ‘lock, stock and barrel’ as was mentioned by the Home Minister of India Amit Shah in the Lok Sabha.

Earlier, Minister of State (PMO) Jitendra Singh had said that had the first Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru allowed the then Home Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel handle Jammu and Kashmir like other princely states, not only the history of Kashmir but the entire sub continent would have been different.

In 1947, after Pakistan & India gained independence from British rule, Jammu and Kashmir could have joined India, joined Pakistan, or remained independent. Hari Singh originally manoeuvred to maintain his independence by playing off India and Pakistan. There was a widespread belief that rulers of the princely states, in deciding to accede to India or Pakistan, should respect the wishes of the population, but few rulers took any steps to consult on such decisions.

The legal agreement between Jammu Kashmir & india is called The Instrument of Accession.

In light of this agreement India will have to accept Kashmiri's right to Govern the whole Jammu Kashmir accordingly to kashmiris wishes & policies. But here India completely want to abolish this basic point of kashmir annexation. Only this agreement allow the legal right to India otherwise there is no way for India to claim Kashmir & population want to join other side since 1947.

Edited:
Both the agreement of Instrument of Accession in 1947 & article 370 in 1950 are linked.

Article 370 was included in Indian constitution in order to fulfill the agreement/promises with maharaja hari Singh.

In short article 370 is legal part of this 1947 agreement.

Article 370 was included temporary on one condition. and the condition is: under the Leadership of kashmiri people there should be voting either kashmiri wants to join Pakistan, India or wanna be as an independent state. Till then Jammu & Kashmir will have autonomous status. So here farooq abduallah is right that
accession of JK with India is temporary too because Kashmiris are still unable to vote accordingly to their wishes to whom they want to join.

For more simplified way to understand.
1. Instrument of Accession is legal MoU.
2. But Article 370 is a legal implementation of that legal MoU between JK & India.

Scrapping art 370 means war and Kashmir will have the right to appeal to the UNSC and the UK to mediate and declare India as the occupying force.

What does the UK have to do with anything?

So Pakistan should be glad as this move will lead to the resolution of Kashmir issue for once and all

Except the Moron doesn't know that accession happened in 47 while Article 370 was created in 1950. Accession has nothing to do with Article 370.

If BJP wants to come back in 2024 they will have to remove article 370 and 35A from the constitution.

What is the point of getting a huge majority if you cant keep your promises ?

This is just one useless son trying to keep his father's nonsense alive.Those who understand kashmir will know.

If it is not repealed in the next 5 years Nehru and Modi are all the same.

What does the UK have to do with anything?

The Brits were involved and designed the partition. They are the only one who have the original copy of letter of accession to India and the conditions agreed between the GoI and the Kashmiri Maharaja. The matter should be legally sorted out incase BJP scraps article 370.

By all means. Appeal to whom you like.

It's not up to India or Pakistan but to the Kashmiris to take legal actions. Article 370 is the key to accession to the Indian Union once all the conditions are met. As stated by OP, it's a temporary solution. Scrapping it puts Kashmir back to the situation in 1948.

So Pakistan should be glad as this move will lead to the resolution of Kashmir issue for once and all

Yes we will be glad with the move as India has more to lose than us.

Except the Moron doesn't know that accession happened in 47 while Article 370 was created in 1950. Accession has nothing to do with Article 370.

How did you come to this conclusion? Letter of accession is illegal according to the Partition Act and article 370 came into being to meet Kashmir half way.

What is this Partition act? There was no such act passed by either the legislative council or assembly of either the British India or the British parliament. There exists an Indian Independence Act of 1947 which was based on the 3 June Plan or Mountbatten Plan.
If you are referring to the Mountbatten Plan, the guess who else is a signatory to the letter of accession other than Hari Singh?

As far as how did I come to this conclusion, it's quite simple,
Accession signed by Hari Singh - 1947
Article 370- 1950.

My bad, obviously I meant the Independence Act of 1947. (Got confused with the partion act of 1977)

War with who? Pakistan isn't going to war over article 370. It didn't go for war all this time over Kashmir, all it did was send few soldiers in shalwar kameez because they knew conventionally India cannot be defeated.

It will take much more then article 370, like India messing with Pakistan share of water.
