Your argument sounds reasonable, but think of it differently: If the land is not owned or leased, you cannot provide facilities by way of pucca buildings or structures. Perhaps that is why the temple board wanted the land. If the Government is willing to let the board provide facilities on the same land without restrictions, then there is no cause for unhappiness either way. The issue was first politicized by the PDP and the separatist groups and the BJP has followed suit. But what damage this issue has caused to the social structure of the society in Kashmir and the rest of India ! It is indeed a sad state of affairs. Sadder still is the silence of the political parties and the Muslim community.
