This where Advani had not been a politician, I has in some form have agreed that this is one of the reason he could not become what Vajpayee has become, based on the moral grounds. Like to your comment , but I thought I should expand on this idea. One should be aware of their actions. History may not forgive him for his Rath Yatra, being 90s kid, I remember all the riots, atleast he has acknowledged his mistakes.
As someone brand new to the political space, I want to say this interview has been quite educational with regards to current and past political history. And I respect Mr. Sinha in being one of the few in BJP to speak the truth about Kashmir and what we've done to them
When Raja Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession, it included Foreign Affairs. By that logic Foreign Affairs consisting of signing agreement with a foreign country, deciding whom to grant citizenship, etc. should have been domiciled with government of India. Is it not Article 35A an abuse of this agreement? Also if the Supreme Court decided to hear the petition regarding Article 35A, the petitioner would have ordered through the court, all the documents listing the names of people who have been granted permanent residences during the last 70 years. What if the list reveals that the Kashmiri government had given preference to a specific religion, will not violate Article 14 which requires equal treatment of all religions? Worse, the Abdullahs and Muftis granted residency permits including Adar cards to over 98,000 Rohingya Muslim refugees while Hindu refugees from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir still suffer in refugee camps without any relief for the last 70 years.
It is only now the middle class is getting a taste of ambiguity on all fronts. The poor class have been dealing with it for long. I am hopeful as Mr Sinha rightly pointed out, as time this too shall pass.
Yashwant ji was member of BJP till few years ago and in every menifestos of BJP from its birth the removal of article 370 was mentioned. were you lying then or now sir ?
Well attempts to amend 370 could have been done through consensus of the people of J and K. Afterall it is not the only state with a special status. Some agreement although difficult could have been reached.
If at that time Advani ji had believed in Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji's decision of sacking Narendra Modi as Gujarat CM, probably he won't have been PM in waiting forever and must have been the PM himself. Sad for L.K. Advani he didn't have the foresight like Atal ji back then, where Atal was thinking about the future of India which could have been beneficial for Advani as well, while Advani himself was just thinking about the future of BJP. Advani was more of a party man than Atal, and Atal being more of country man than Advani.
Shakeel Hamid because of so called secular democracy 26/11 Bombay blast or all things happened Now atleast due to fear of government There are no roits .is not a good thing And common problems and corruption were always there before BJP
Even that 370 agenda was one of the most earlier promises made by bjp....ya now why he is not sure for this....may be the idea of removal of the art 370 was totally differ by the current gov....what he is sure for
Exactly, Sinha sir, states should have Autonomy/Article 370. Then only, we can live peacefully and prosper. India has to be like European Union not China. Today's, India is no different from British India, even worse on some aspects!!
As the title of the video says, we have indeed alienated the people of Kashmir. The very fact that we did nothing when 5,00,000 Kashmiri Pandits were forced to flee their homes proves this point.
According to the accession document, there was no delineation between domestic administration and defence & foreign policy. Mr Sinha should know this basic truth and realise that the Article 370 and 35 was introduced later during the drafting of the constitution. Therefore, this myth that Maharaja Hari Singh wanted autonomy shouldn't be presented as fact.
Corporate run media with the intention only to loot Nation with corrupted and kickback politicians Nexus ruined Indian democracy and their Nexus hitting the final nail on the head of the Indian Democracy and their union going to have a third world country like Somalia or like any war torn Nation.
This discussion is idiotic, they think people know nothing about history of Kashmir. Thank god people like him are no longer in charge of policy. Abrogation of 370 is not illegal or unconstitutional, it was clearly meant to be temporary. As for economy, it is silly to talk of lack of demand without understanding the jam in the monetary pipeline. You will not get investment going because government can't generate revenue out of air, it can only come from private players, debt or realigning spending.
Yashwant Sinha was not only an ambitious individual but is a cumpulsive liar as far as Sri Modi is considered - he is making up stories to buttress his arguments.
Believe what you want and say what you want. We judge these days by how people act and what they achieve. Where did Mr Sinha act to do anything that he is talking about? History teaches us one lesson; those who are not strong are ruled by the strong. India is a prime example. It had been ruled by foreigners for 800 years and the country had shrunk in these years. The main cause of foreigners to rule over India was because of Mir Zafar and Jaichand's of India. Mr Sinha and Mr Sekhri for many reasons remind me of those traitors.
34:43..jethmalani destroyed swami?? i have seen that debate.. nothing of that sort happened.. this is absolute rubbish... i admire abhinandan for being a top notch journalist, but i don't know where this comes from..nothing is illegal about 370.. anyway you first fight for the pandits , they are also kashmiris right?? first your heart should bleed for them... bleed 10 times as much as for the jehadis, after that we'll talk, abhinandan... you are an excellent journalist, spend more time for the cause of a people driven out of their homeland, not fighting for people who throw stones at and kill Indian army jawans who come from all across the country and fight for the flag and anthem while you very jauntily defend kanhaiya and co and any other vermin that you happen to chance upon..
Our obsession with Pakistan is of a very low gossip level but that’s the brainchild of small and narrow thinking ! High thinking and simple living was the norm of the past ! I am getting more and more pessimistic if they can behave like this with you sir others are faceless and can be sacrificed !
Yashwant doesn't know tht thr was no condition the raja had put....He simply signed the intrument of accession which is same as all the other kings did.....what a liar this oldie is.
We have only alienated the ruling class and families of Kashmir and their feudalism! Now the Panchayats and the common people are economically empowered , the development and honesty would return to administrative levels. Seeing the changes denied to the Kashmiris all this while, the people of Kashmir would rejoice and thank the Modi Government! The 'sour grapes ' can raise fictions as they like but fact will be seen clearly by the empowered citizens of Kashmir, sooner than later.
What the hell? Absolutely no one thanks modi and never will more than 3years without government and making a totally diverse state a union territory 😠 Giving instructions to his puppet governor to propagate hinduism in schools by making them do surya namaskar, chanting hindu sermons. nowadays modi word is literally used as a tyrant word synonym in Kashmiri language .
"Basic right of human being", fundamental liberties.. ahahaha... very beautiful words.. so soothing.. when the kashmiri pandits were being raped and sawed alive where were these worthies?? kashmir needs an iron hand.. your namby pamby hasnt gotten us anywhere.. constitutional rhapsodies devoid of ideological direction give us kashmir, north east, punjab and tablighi jamaat.. please wake up.. amit shah and modi are the best thing to have happened to india in a looonngg time..they are not perfect, but at least they have ideological spine and are going about fulfilling their manifesto..
The Kashmiris have alienated themselves by perpetrating a campaign of disassociation. This kind of territorial adjustment is not possible. Therefore, they need to accept reality of being a part of India. At the time of independence, no one had a choice. No one had a choice who they can belong to. Accept the fate and live for the future.
@kupar s It's an assumption that middle path is available always. It's a Buddhist fantasy. There are no middle paths in science, history (past) and logic.
Mr sinha is absolutely confused about article 35a. Special protection to certain areas and complete protection to J&K cannot be compared. We are not facing militancy in Maharshtra or Himachal. If there is no movement of people in J&K, how do u expect the people to people contact. Amending 370 and 35a was absolutely necessary and it cant be compared with other states. Naga accord is not final and there is no provision of flag or constitution and discussion of shared sovereignty does not make it final.
Art. 370 was of greater use to the GOI than to the state of J&K . Art. 3 ( is it 4 ) of the Constitution of J&K stated quite clearly that the State as it was during the reign of Raja Hari Singh is an integral part of India. And so the ' integration ' of J&K with India was never an issue. Art. 370 was never a problem. In any case , Art. 370 has not been ' abrogated ' ; it has only been ' deoperationalized ' . Even Mohan Bhagwat said as much in his Dussehra address.
This is an extra-ordinary and amoral exposition by a politician who cannot swallow the undeniable insult his party the BJP has arguably heaped on him. The fact that Mr Sinha hates Modi clouds every thing else that he has to say on any matter. Mr Sinha , startlingly proposes that 370 and 35A need to stay for ever. Something that the BJP has as its avowed duty ( invoking Shyama Prasad Mukherjee ) to do away with for the last 5 decades. The temporary and expedient nature of the introduction of 370 and the provisions by which it was sought to be retained for ever and the surreptitious manner of introduction of 35A in gross violation of all norms of constitutional propriety has been a public issue & which have been of seminal concern for the BJP. WAS MR. SINHA NOT A PART OF THAT BJP DISCOURSE ? Does he disavow all of that now ?This facile and hypocritical invocation of Vajpayee is mal-odorous as every single political party knows that as things stand there will never be any chance of equity prevailing and article 370 going out . The very structure of its continuance ensures that. They also know that the vested interests of Pakistan and its global sponsors benefit at great cost to India in keeping the "Kashmir" industry flourishing in eternity. Mr. Sinha's mischievous equivalence of Naga ( and HP etc) problem and even Annadurai's call for secession with that of Kashmir is astonishingly petty for a man of his stature in public life and erudition... . Mr. Sinha , if you have a political battle to fight with Modi it is perfectly legitimate . Please go win an election and carry on your fight. Do not use the historically complex and vexed Kashmir issue to simplistically call the PM a traitor. The anchor's facile assertion that these 60 days are worse than the time when the Pandits were thrown out in 1990 or thereabouts is equally facetious since we can neither verify it or prove him wrong.
What the anchor say about the debate between ram jetmalani and swamy is a big lie..the final verdict had gone in favour of abolishing article 370..the group which swamy belonged had managed to convert more people in the audience to their favour..
“Who is the Supreme Court to stop me from going anywhere any part of India”? But can the former Finance Minister make such a statement prior to abrogation of Article 370 and 35A that did not permit an Indian from the rest of the country buy any property in J&K but at the same time allowed Kashmiris to buy property in the rest of the country? Where is the ethics Mr. Sinha? Also to the interviewer: if you were at the mainstream media during V.P. Singh’s government did you cover the exodus of Kashmiri Hindu pandits from the Kashmir valley that rendered over 500,000 Kashmiri Hindus homeless? Worst, at that time in 1989-90 Mufti Mohammed Saeed was the nation’s Home Minister. What a betrayal by journalists and Muslims to Hindus. Hindus have elephant memory, they will never forgive this fraud.
I wonder till when will this man Yeshwant Sinha continue with his nonsensical thoughts ... he shud know his political career is over and he is destroying his sons career too... greed for power never ends.
Yashwant Sinhaji, Aapki baat koi sunta bhi hai ? Kyon khali pili apna time barbad kar rahe ho..... Ram ka naam japo, jaldi upar jaane ka waqt aane wala hai...
