The reason for making J&K a UT is, without the police or the IAS directly under the boots of the Abdullahs or the Muftis, their capacity to make money or create mischief will be severely limited.
Only the Kashmiri people should be able to take decision about their territory is as treacherous as those ‘Aazadi’ slogans that kept reverberating till now in the valley and leftist bastions such as JNU.
The policy started showing results when Baramullah was declared as terror free in early 2019.
The situation in Kashmir deteriorated only because militants were at the places where they shouldn’t be. Who let them in?
Before seeing Kashmir from media’s lens, yourself just one question “Indian Goverment provides the maximum economic package to J&K state, where does this money go?”
The Army will continue to kill the enemies of the state, but the question occurs: what we need to do to stop militancy from the roots.
Just by installing a tank piece in the university premises or hoisting Indian flag can’t make the youth patriotic.
