Mufti Criticizes SC Decision on Art 370, Ignites Debate on Kashmir’s History and Future

Mehbooba Mufti has once again displayed her sharp and critical rhetoric in the aftermath of the Supreme Court of India (HSCI) upholding the constitutional validity of the abrogation of Art 370/35A of the Indian constitution by the Parliament. In a recent Twitter post, she shared a piece in her party’s newsletter titled “speak up,” provocatively named “FROM CITIZENS TO SLAVES.”

In this article, Mufti laments the Supreme Court’s decision, suggesting that “Kashmir is grieving” and quotes an Arab poet to emphasize her point. She employs literary flair to portray the HSCI as part of a web turning the people of Kashmir “FROM CITIZENS TO SLAVES.” However, it’s essential to remind Mufti to acknowledge Maharaja Hari Singh for timely signing the Instrument of Accession with India, preventing Kashmir from falling into the hands of Pakistan.

The author contends that Mufti and her contemporaries should be grateful for the decision made by Maharaja Hari Singh. The article speculates on the potential fates of individuals like Mufti if the Maharaja had chosen differently, drawing parallels with historical figures like Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Imran Khan in Pakistan.

The narrative emphasizes that Jammu and Kashmir’s destiny with India was sealed in 1947 with the signing of the Instrument of Accession. The author attributes the subsequent disillusionment among Kashmiri people to a web of intrigue and deception woven by political figures like Sheikh Abdullah and perpetuated by the Kashmiri political class.

The article applauds the HSCI’s judgment, which the author believes has dispelled this web of deception. It takes a critical stance on Mufti’s comparison of the present government to an “occupier” and highlights the significant financial allocation by the Indian government to J&K. The author questions Mufti’s understanding of “occupation” and contrasts it with historical instances like the Nazi occupation of Poland and France.

Further, the article addresses Mufti’s grievances regarding the power sector, pointing out discrepancies in the collection of funds for hydroelectric projects. The author defends the current government’s efforts in the power sector, showcasing investments in generation, distribution, and transmission.

The narrative concludes by advising Mufti to reflect on the past 75 years and the consequences of policies advocated by individuals like her. It urges her not to incite the public with irrelevant matters and warns against propagating fallacies that could impact the future generation adversely.
