Raj Thacheray is right!
by s m on Feb 22, 2008 02:55 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Why can't any non-Kashmiri or non-Himachali settle down and by property in J&K and Himachal Pradesh? Why do other Indian citizens need a permit even to enter north-east states for tourism?

If Jammu and Kashmir is for only Kashmiris, if Himachal Pradesh is only for original Himachalis, if North-Eastern states are only for local residents, why can't Maharashtra be only for Marathis?

Sure it can be but for that people have to become terrorist and start demanding a seperate state and the army should be called in. All the hindus should be either massacred or killed. Army should be called in and should patrol it day and night. All the industries would leave without any jobs left and many more.

I Hope u got the answer!!!

Pravin Bhaiyya, you areputting cart before the bulls. Special status to JK was given when there was no terrorism whatsoever. But yes, you can argue that giving special status ultimately brought terrorism in that state. But your point is well taken.

Anyways, whatever they say, son of soil may not be constitutional but CONSTITUTION is for the people and people are NOT for the constitution. Constitution can be (and has been) changed to suit the changing circumstances. Why not change in this instance?

Though your question sounds logical, I would like you to think other way round.

Do you want all the states of India to become like J&K?
Or
Do you want J&K to become like other states in India?

Either make all states like J&K or make J&K like all other states. But do not continue special status for J&K without giving similar status to other states!!!
