Hello there and welcome to the program. Im nora. Kyle but it is all going to the polls in indian administered cash man as the 1st paula ministry elections that surrender moodys government cancel the regions partial autonomy in 2019. And for the 1st time in years people im not boy crossing the votes. The Prime Minister says, repeating cash, mrs. Special status has Health Integrated with the rest of the country. He also says its bolt piece and development of the decades of separate his violence. Why then has moodys policy not nominate to the candidate to contest the 3 seats and the muslim majority range, and well put this question on the move to august and just a moment. But 1st of this report, like cateel depends how the general elections are highlighting the political tensions in indian administered kashmir. Its been on edge for years. A decades long uprising against indian rule has killed tens of thousands of people this year for the 1st time since 1996. The governing beach, a piece or by the jonathan party, has not fielded a candidate in the muslim majority breach in india and administered kashmir. Has traditionally bully caught at elections following calls from separatist, but opposition candidate for he would recommend puerto wants to change that this election would be a dining point when dino didnt go and does a huge vacuum of by 6 years. And this is, this will be an expression, people to vote with their feet come out and you know, express themselves. Some analysts say the beach, i didnt nominate a candidate to avoid public defeat and political backlash. They are skeptical them sense. And theyre scared of pipe and i look shows static medias addressed to dom up exploration. Is it extra of the things do not get reported as they used to get, so it is not a month to, to maybe not months helping good areas. Because not, not of muncie. Ill pick them up in our system until 2019 indians administered kashmir, enjoyed a special status with a separate constitution. After it was removed, general and kashmir was divided into 2 federal. The ruled areas was broad under the direct control of new delhi. They used always give ordering it. We will vote with the hard that there is prosperity and kashmir every now and in things get out of hand. We dont want the situation to too bad or violent motors are despite the recent sporadic violence, the b j. P points to the relative stability and peace under the leadership of Prime Ministers and around promoting. There have been signs of Economic Growth and a decrease and separates as violence, but voters in india and administer kashmir, say its cost them their autonomy. Patsy, a little bit civilian. How does 0 for insight story . Well thats bringing all a guess now and from sure to go, no i went by is a retard Political Science professor at the university of kashmir, Whose Research focuses on indiana minutes of kashmir and south Asian Affairs from john moves. And theyll set the as a spokesman for the governing b, j. B, in general of cash man. As in new delhi, bought a coma, an offer an academic and 2010. She was one of 3 government appointed members of a panel representing the views of cash, married society to indias cabinets committee on security. If i would welcome to all of you. So the 1st of all this ask you why would be a p is not contesting these 3 seats and cache map see, in order to understand whats being done, we have to understand the problem of catch me. One 3rd of catch me, it is under the need the local patient or practice that of what last more than 75 years august by me is finding proxy. Why be the india they are supporting tourism. So new tourism through engines did or can you think the truck can park isnt that by d and its and you should have done by the agents and was farmed in 1951 were the only motive, but there should be fun. India, there should be no separate constitution, different windows, so especially the status to any state. For, for 60 years after 60 years, we achieved onto it before it goes to the 19 body, the moving car to go to 70. And for the integrating cash read with india. So these are the addictions that are being turned off at 2019. For the 1st time for 5 different, i didnt talk to you because it, nobody was nation is more important than having fuel seats from do it or do it or forming the government. This is a huge bit to, for the fight india, which is being forwarded to catch me. Product isnt the party has taken, theyve gone shows and strategic diseases under treatment, not going to stop by the inventory eviction from g 5. Inventory cost to truancies induction. We dont, we have large abuse of well goes and gets muted, running into next look to the workers about isnt that part of being this cost agencies . They wouldnt be running into more than 5. 00 back. Okay. We have uh for just thank you. So now lets just get a reaction to the 1st of all, i can turn to norfolk meant that you are in showing a go. So theyll set the space into the government b, j, p. The says that the nation of india is more important at this stage of relations between new delhi and engine minutes of kashmir. Van b j. P winning a few seats, 3 st says up for grabs in cash met. What do you make of that . So its very difficult for us to understand here. Here, let me give you some folks from giving notes on understanding of it. But what a comment about some of you have a concern often having in the Residential Market on the changing girl for you to go to the audio and get you a big be a not conducting direct them directly and say that dont understand the meaning of what is your social beer cuz people know how to get a one understanding of it by lot of people can possibly be confident enough to election. Youve got to the doctor doctor exploded itself to the water. The chair water response in this condition. So the full we get to read, this is what were bringing rather as one cell to respond to that because its a 5 point, isnt it . That we have got the b j. P contesting and john moving him . Do dont many to jump me away. You will, but not in muslim majority, kashmir. Why is that . That is a bit on statement because we are fighting get it now. So we are fighting on the seats. We have, we may not be having the video, realistic tons of reading it as the election is not for winning and losing only theyve got these other decisions which are big on in the interest of the nation. Is that more than pardon for those reading seats is not the only criteria and 2 months or 3 months down the line that would be in addition to the assembly of the union turn into the bucket. And 3rd party wouldnt be testing all the seats, offer simply including all the suits and catch me around. So youre not afraid of elections that does not to the find. My friend was saying was up to date on this is the start of the season, which was digging in the interest of the nation. Ok, well, im sorry. Whats the address of the nation does the spring . You see this is a, this is a fine. Yeah. There is a fight between the forces which are supporting the separatism. What would have been digging the Technical Support from separate disk and believed that he meant those on the persons work, contesting that National Congress ought to be mended. And then there are forces were uh, taking the initial is digging ident, our fall would be one that there should be a conscious effort now from the catch me that they should come forward and defeat the forces of separatism for all the things through. Okay, rather less bringing you at this point, how much of a surprise was it festival . To have beach. I was not going to contest this, but because we did see them outcome this identity. The local members of the b g p policy was going dont to dont campaigning up until the announcement up actually i didnt expect them to contest because its fairly clear that they would use and they would prefer not to be seen to lose. And i think that there is any Strategic Elements involved in this decision than that. It is easy to governments that they dont want to be seen to lose all the seats in the cushion to evaluate the other arguments. I failed to see it all together. I dont see how some kind of quiet, aged be support for break away parties like the me party is going to necessarily help or is a strategic decision if, if the gentleman is saying that they want to fit one lot of cushioning areas against another lot of cushion movies, im sorry, that is hardly a strategy. And i wouldnt say that that to be not only truly, but actually raw that it was found at the moment. Where ironically enough, we are going to see perhaps one of the higher donalds ever in the session era in this election. And its wonderfully ironic because in the rest of india, this has been quite a lot lost the election campaign. As the almost every analyst has concluded, okay, in the valley, this is not lackluster to know. Perhaps you can fill us in on why cache marys also interested in this particular phase. When in previous folks ive always been cold, simply costs are yes, thats more completely different particular context. Another possibility for a beer, but how not so hard. Uh, uh, so i, i never did call the defender to me for an actual uh, sub pump national level. Are in the airport department, go back a little bit. Uh, but should uh, people are expressing discharge this time because they want to look for the other. Uh they want to want to be there. People are longer part of the presentation in garcia, dot har, dot india and they were in the connecticut to the golden cache. Me it is how much hard i need to present it. To me, she just quoted you one cuz me it does not cover when the doctor did not have it, just kind of prevent it all. Well, got a presentation on last few years. So this time i think people are and just dr. Parts good. Im do. Did x pressure to do that because it doesnt do showing dental deal youre pointing to in just so i and just send it to them. Okay. Send it will set the time is run domady visited this region in law. So that was his 1st visit since 2019 i put it to you, but perhaps that didnt go as well as he expected. And that played in to his decision on the beach a piece decision not to run in the cash. Smith elections. You know, that gives us a new key fobs run. The hon Prime Minister visited catch me. The stadium near the program was served, was jam packed, and there were more than one that close. Im just what in attendance in different districts of catch me, which was fine, but if you do a conference that is actually complete on motion, the response was response was i would rather make even more than what we could have part in catch me. But until then, after due to the 19th, 1st thing, but im just there visiting it and just meet the people who are on pumped up. Youll see what is the crown the other day in guest meet after due to the 19 present data is most on parenting. The violence has come down to minimum the people that live drinking good. Confidentiality of the tourist are coming in the next in guest. New book, everybody is happy this, this electronic thought would be part of the issue of the development. The dont get to the moment, let me just bring it in right to. Im not knows its fast point isnt that that buttons has lessened in kashmir since 2019 um, its so difficult for him to prove either way. If you think, you know, if you look at the she goes suddenly stone, 3rd thing is is down to or. Ready 0 me back, if you look at a 10 to the attack, then you are not going to see a great decline. Im, im very mind that cushion you again has a much higher security presence then it has 5 in the 10 years of these process earlier. So my argument would be that its, you want to actually judge balance. You have to also look at whether your need for security presence is low or on. Know, that is the best test of whether you are moving to which piece. And if you apply doctors, then you will see that it was only even the years off, 2004 to about 12 that you had a really sharp, significant decline in violence. It then went off. When you had the b, j, p. B, Coalition Government in uh, in the smooth and you have to be just the, at the Center Bottom so actually increased in 201720161718. And so when we talk about it being low, uh, quite often the feature piece sports people are using the c goods for the use of 20161718. Okay, all right, lets let so now the respondents of that, because that is why the says customer is one of the wells most heavily. Im going to try zone if the level of violence has come down, why does it remain . So a r c, when we talk about the declining data resume, i dont know from the fingers are being taken by it. Mr. I back on my cheek has to come. Be sure, you know, good to change in get should be you have to come to so youre not going to see the change in the values of the people they are mentioning says that the tax on security forces, im not decline is not the figure. Its, it is, it is almost gone. It doesnt make any money. Now, it is not the same situation that were not talking about until then 1670. 00. We are talking about the situations often 1990. There is a see change in cash. We know crush me. It is, you have not months or late yesterday. There was a big demonstration in progress, but not gonna break the trust me, but people build onto dry in india. Why are the people there wanting to drain india . Because they are afraid of the less bringing nor i have to get his the past due on this particular point. No, i commit the right. It says that the figures of levels of violence are coming from the home ministry. What is the Security Threat that in kashmir today . So data, how big the incidence of all measured while understood and give you a window either one or no, but but the question is, like the lodge done, you have tinnitus, by the sword, not about a liver distribution of student. She dare taught him your work or speech without help, with the people all across the region that aspire to part are steer towards a part issue for the part that egypt. And then what i wanted to how i could go on then direction was in local assembly a doctor, adults are not happy as long as they would be that they do not as it goes, did someone did the class has vision does. Its not really integrated the hard one days to call the mind. But i think the just a lot, the right time did the bones that people have even more strongly, guys all the time. Youre mostly heavy with the changes. Im the grandpa border because they have an instrument only means you can use them, but you do want to come to the same thing and hopefully this, this is all for him to be qualified. What type of piece is it the roger is we want to talk about these ways to elections because so neil bruce is all pallet. He said that within 2 to 3 months, that would be we to know elections, Assembly Elections in time of cash. Man moody has promised to restore state hood. Yeah, these elections have been delay several times before. Do you believe the beach i pay when they say they will allow reso elections within the next few months . When let people do it this way . This is the order by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of it, yeah, had said that elections have to be held before the end of september. And by the way, in the supreme porch, the solicitor general law of india argued on behalf of obviously the union as well as the states administration, that the security situation was such that they could not restore state could. So, you know, on the one hand, in the supreme called, theyre arguing, security is bad. And uh, on the other hand, in the public domain, theyre arguing that they have achieved the gray. D one is, you know, attempted to say, please make up your mind and please release the pop up. He goes to show one way or another. Because if you have misled the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court is extremely clear in saying that they are only accepting the Union Administration argument of a delay of state to the on the grounds of security. That was the only ground that they were accepting it on. And they have said that they owe the full dodge as soon as the elections are held. The state assembly is the election which have to be before the end of september. They are hoping that states would, would be restored very soon off. So now your question will be, did the follow through on what the board has directed them to do . I can only hope that they will, it will be cried with phoning to defy an order of the Supreme Court as one hopes that they wont find the other ways around. But we dont know what will happen until the new parliament is in place. Okay, youre not real quick, thats not a problem. And then the inside story down the line. So now set the, i want to bring all the was back to the boat thats going to be taking place. So over the next few days, how free im fat is this boat going to be that in the region because weve seen restrictions on media, on freedom of expression al jazeera actually has not being drawn to visas to cover the election within the country. So can people trust that this vote is going to be free and fast . And there is a 100 percent guarantee that the addictions would be fee of and dont forget addictions. So theres no restrictions on the media mediations defaulting each day. The media is the 14 our games, the government, we are not stopping them be anybody can come and see that is i dont think there is any education not even complain from anybody, much less from im so you know, the addictions would not be fit if we did we would have in contesting . You would have been saying this thing to me that this selection is unfair because means if he wants to win this me uh, by other means we have not in the free, but we would insure the addictions. Would it be for you in fair number one, number 2, Assembly Elections. This open board said that the addictions would be headed in friday, september end be stand by 8, but the addictions will be here to the assembly by september end. And that would be a government off, dont want to just read off the people document this week, which will be due be elected the fortune of every time in the union due to the, to the state as it was before due to the 19 is obviously coming spring, which has been made by the Central Government and up sort of the 5 new mentoring for the. So think order for and youre also uh see situations not been c n situation turning around. These are 2 Different Things that would be addiction. So for assembly of union to their duty, there is no
