(Organiser, 15.9.2013); The only option that is left for the Indian Union is to abrogate Article 370 at any cost. Ensure Kashmiri Pundits , who are willing to go back , are re-settled in the Valley and convicts released from jails are also encouraged to start a fresh life in the Valley. People from other states who are also willing to settle in Kashmir must also be given the opportunity. Separatists will spew venom and Valley will burn, which any how is burning for many decades. Interlocutrs will also cry foul and many more will oppose tooth and nail abrogation of Article 370 as it will damage India’s secular credentials. But for millions of nationalists like us secularism and Article 370 lost its relevance when Kashmiri Muslims disrupted the only one day match ever played in the Valley between India and West Indies with anti India and pro Pakistan slogans. And when Kashmiri Muslims mourned the death of Zia-ul-Haq on the streets and observed bandh. Kashmiri Muslims took advantage of Article 370 and drove out handful of Hindu Pundits from the Valley and who have become refugee in their own country. Is this not enough for Omar and company to understand why people from the Valley are looked upon with suspicion. Godhra obsessed Media has never ever championed the cause of the Hindu Pundits.
