Repeal of art 370 The BJP was in a tearing hurry to honour their memorandum after first term in office. The triple talak bill and RTI were mowed done with brute majority A twist was given of external threat with arms caught and heightened fear of pushing in terrorists and killing some. the use of Bofor guns was another twist to make believe. Though there was no doubt about impending repeal but there was no indication or whiff of it It was sudden and secrecy by inducting large number of forces The actors in JK could have been taken into consideration and process gradual. Why the need to change state into Union Territory The 70 years of status co has not improved the atmosphere in the state Hence an alternative course is worthy of experiment The total clamp down on freedom of movement communication is regressive even though it is of short duration to ensure peace and law and order. Whether a bilateral issue can be decided unilaterally and in such a manner Putting the leaders in solitary confinement and house arrest is not the best way to suppress dissent The moment to celebrate and regret is widely felt It is to be seen how it will usher in Ethopia in JK and also release the neglected Ladak. Majoritism is taking upper hand The suppressed feelings in JK may erupt into a volcano soon Nelson Lopes Chinchinim Sent from my iPhone Sent from my iPhone
