Illogic of India's wish for non-involvement of third party in Kashmir
settlement
>From the day one of the Kashmir conflict more than half a century ago,
Delhi's stand not to entertain third -party involvement in settling the
conflict is as illogical as it is unmistakable. The absurdity of Delhi's
view in not wanting third party participation has been the principle cause
of the trauma of the Kashmiri people.
India took the Kashmir conflict to the United Nations Security Council
with a complaint against Pakistan of intrusion into Kashmir. Indian
expectations were dashed when the Security Council questioned India's
legitimacy over Kashmir and turned down its manipulated accession. And the
Security Council directed that the will of the Kashmiri people is
paramount and must be determined in a free and fair plebiscite under UN
auspices.
Since the resolutions of the Security Council of 13 August 1948 and 5
January 1949, Indian leaders have stuck to their illogical stand and have
not allowed Kashmir decide their political future, though they did not
make their views public till 1954 when Pakistan became a member of western
alliance.
Soon after 1954, Delhi started harping loudly about its unwillingness to
allow any third-party involvement in settling the Kashmir conflict. The
reason was obvious. Allowing such a participation - which would be none
other than an outside government fully conversant with the causes of the
conflict and UN's involvement with it and its resolutions, would reiterate
the universal principle of letting the Kashmiris decide their political
future.
To let Kashmiris freely decide their political future has been an
abomination with Delhi hence its unwillingness about the idea of
third-party involvement. Delhi also fears that in the presence of a third
party, it would be confronted with its very weak case on Kashmir, and that
it would be required to accord serious consideration to the settlement of
the conflict without wasting time on subjects having little or no bearing
on the crux of the problem.
To counter the argument why Delhi is against allowing Kashmiris freely
decide their future, a lame excuse has often been put up by Delhi that
Kashmiris have already decided to be part of India.
That decision was taken by a tame assembly. In fact all elections in
Indian occupied Kashmir since Delhi's take-over of Kashmir has been rigged
at Delhi's behest. And soon after the that decision, the UN Security
Council warned India it would not recognise the faked decision of the
Kashmir state assembly and that only a free and fair process of
self-determination of the Kashmiri people under independent auspices would
be acceptable as envisaged in Security Council resolutions.
Now in the wake of the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington and
the US- led coalition war on Afghanistan, Delhi has been shouting about
its own fight against so-called terrorism in occupied Kashmir and has been
desperate in bringing US and UK attention to it.
However, its assumed fears are getting cold response from world's major
capitals. Delhi has now resorted to military attacks on positions across
the cease-fire line in Kashmir, hoping its action would be duly noted as
Delhi's concern over the Kashmir situation. But again Delhi failed to
provoke the coalition partners raising noises in favour of India.
One hopes that Delhi realises that in wanting the world to respond
appropriately against what it terms 'Pakistan sponsored terrorism' in
occupied Kashmir, it is, indeed, inviting a third-party involvement in
occupied Kashmir. Under the circumstances, Delhi should also understand
that it cannot impede real progress towards the settlement of the
conflict, and would bury half a century of its illogic associated with
third-party involvement in Kashmir.
