Jammu : In the turbulent landscape of Jammu and Kashmir, amidst ongoing militancy,terrorist attacks in ten districts of Jammu and Kashmir and economic challenges, a cautious and strategic approach is very much imperative. So the call to delay elections and withhold restoration of statehood to the Union Territory demands thoughtful consideration, echoing concerns rooted in decades of unrest and unresolved issues.
.
The ongoing military engagements and cross-border tensions necessitate a steadfast approach. Until the menace of militancy is effectively curbed and stability restored across the region, the proposition to defer elections serves as a pragmatic safeguard against potential disruptions and external provocations. This stance advocates for a secure environment where civilian safety and national integrity remain non-negotiable priorities.
The cautionary plea to Prime Minister Modi, s Government at the centre reflects a collective sentiment among nationalist forces and stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir, emphasizing the need for judicious governance over impulsive decisions. History serves as a stark reminder of the repercussions of hasty policies, epitomized by the regrettable missteps of the past, including the ill-fated Article 370 imposed by them congress lead by late Nehru Ji..
Hence , the current circumstances in Jammu and Kashmir demand a cautious and well-calibrated approach. The decision to delay elections and withhold statehood restoration must be anchored in the principles of security, justice, and sustainable development. It is a call not for stagnation but for strategic consolidation, ensuring that the aspirations of all communities, including the marginalized Kashmiri Pandit population, are addressed comprehensively. By prioritizing stability and peace, India can pave the way for a brighter, more harmonious future for Jammu and Kashmir—one built on resilience, equity, and enduring peace.
This approach not only respects the complexities of the region but also sets a precedent for responsible governance and nation-building, aligned with the aspirations of its diverse populace.
