Jammu REJECTED autonomy.... TWICE!!!!
by Jaishal on Aug 12, 2008 12:54 AM

TWICE Jammu was offered autonomy from Kashmir, and TWICE the Hindu nationalist parties REJECTED the offer. The first offer was made in the 50's by Sheikh Abdullah, and the next in 1996 by Farooq Abdullah. Those parties REJECTED autonomy, now they complain that Jammu doesn't get a fair voice in government? Kashmir is more populous than Jammu, thats why Kashmir's voice is louder. It's called democracy, and yet the BJP and its allies now are acting like saviours when they rejected political arrangements that would have helped Jammu.
