you can shout ans yell and abuse Muslims as much as you want. But the point on contention in this issue is, Can a State government give away PUBLIC property to any individual/organization/NGO/Trust/etc ?
This is another example of government over extending its authority.
Public property is not the same as governemnt property. The government is the custodian of public property.
The state government of Kashmir has no right to give away public land to anyone without the consent of the people. This can be done by either putting the measure on the ballot or by a vote in the state assembly.

If it's people's property then you should know who are those people...Kashmiri-hinuds since vedic time (it's very sad that they are living in refugee camp in their own country now as refugee)

@Imran, I see a point here. In normal circumstances Govt has no right to claim public property. Can you provide more details about the title of the property and records relating to it.

This is surely not a private property. It is currently not leased. I am not sure of the title but it is in the custody/care of the state forest ministry.
By all accounts, it is PUBLIC property (Unless someone can prove otherwise).
This is failed governance.
I am against article 363. I want Kashmir to be a part of India.
This is how India messes it up.
Would Maharashtrians be comfortable if their PUBLIC property for givern to some Muslim/Christian trust...Absolutely no.
Even if we take religion out of it, government does NOT have the authority to allocate land and give out PUBLIC land to any one else, unless there is a legislation passed and proper bidding takes place.
We need to get out of this Raja-Praja mentality. Government is not the KING that goes on distributing land.
This applies to all state governemnt.
The totally disagree with Kashmiris resorting to violence. They could have easily won this in the courts.
