“…The 268-page “vision document” attempted to achieve an economically single boundary-less Jammu and Kashmir Economic Union with India and Pakistan jointly managing defence and foreign affairs of their respective portions of Kashmir.”
Let us for a moment work on Sajjad Lone’s idea. He suggests an “economically” single J&K, comprising the two parts of Kashmir which are presently under Indian and Pakistani control. If this economic entity (EE) generates surplus revenue, then obviously it will want to keep all of it for itself. But because India and Pakistan are providing security to EE, would they get some part of this booty, and in what proportion? Similarly, if EE is instead looking for financial support from its two parents, which is likely to be more likely, then in what proportion should the two shell out? What if one of the two refuses to or is unable to honor its commitment, then what happens? Should the other parent foot the full bill, or go to war with the other parent? Wouldn’t it very soon become evident that it was futile to carve out a united EE, that India and Pakistan should have just continued to worry about its own part which it originally had to begin with?
What’s wrong with admitting the last bit as a solution to the problem even today? That, both the countries should agree to take care of their respective part of J&K and stop worrying about the other part?
But the very fact that Sajjad Lone has cared to draft out a 268 page document says something about the man: that he has a thinking mind, it is not always that we may be able to think meaningfully, that’s another matter; he has the courage of conviction, that he should seriously try to fructify his “vision”; the second part can also be construed as, “he is very ambitious”, all such people look “unrealistically ambitious” at times, in fact right until the time they actually succeed. (As an aside, who knows what ambitions Mr Modi is nurturing even now in his bosom, and how bizarre they are?)
Mr Sajjad Lone also emerges as a simpleton, if he really believed that BJP will support him in his project as defined above. NOT ONE PERSON in BJP must have supported him, in fact they might have laughed at him behind his back. They just wanted to use him. Or may be Sajjad Lone wanted to use them to achieve his ambition of becoming the CM whichever way possible! Satya Pal Malik spoiled everything.

This extreme cynicism and opportunism is hardly what Kashmir needs.
