No point to raise demands trashed hundred times

Though Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has reiterating her demands on on reopening of more and more travel and trade routes between the divided parts of Jammu & Kashmir but during last one year the top BJP leaders including Home Minister Rajnath Singh have almost hundred times rejected Chief Minister’s demands on the opening of travel and trade routes . Since discrediting in full public glare the ally PDP has become the routine practice of the central BJP leaders , political morality demands that Chief Minister also gives up the practice of renewing demands on the opening of travel and trade between the divided parts of Jammu & Kashmir time and again. As the central government has many a times made it emphatically clear to Chief Minister that opening of the travel and trade routes between the divided parts of Jammu & Kashmir is the domain of the federal governments of India and Pakistan but not that of the government of Jammu & Kashmir, political wisdom demands that Chief Minister gives up her habit of raising the demands on the opening of cross LoC travel and trade routes month after month and week after week. Even naives understand unless and untill there is not any forward movement on the resumption of the stalled dialogue process between India and Pakistan, it is not advisable for the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to start crying for the opening of more travel and trade routes between the divided parts of Jammu & Kashmir time and again. As has been witnessed during last two years of PDP-BJP coalition rule in the state, the travel and trade movements along both Srinagar-Muzaffarabad and Poonch-Rawlakote travel and routes are often suspended due to the shelling and exchange of firing in majority of the sectors on the line of control (LoC) in the state.
By all standards of understandabilities India and Pakistan have to create a congenial atmosphere for the full implementation of the 2003 ceasefire agreement reached between India and Pakistan during the reign of erstwhile Vajpayee led NDA government so that the stalled dialogue process is resumed for working on the proposals of opening of more travel and trade routes between the divided parts of Jammu & Kashmir. Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti is raising the demand for opening of more travel and trade routes between the divided parts of Jammu & Kashmir time and again just to dispel the impression that her party PDP has surrendered its core political agenda which among other things includes demand for a free trade and travel movements between the divided parts of Jammu & Kashmir. Chief Minister has to understand that the people of Kashmir are politically conscious enough to understand her intents in raising the demands for opening of more travel and trade routes between the divided parts of Jammu & Kashmir. The worry for Mehbooba Muft is that Prime Minister Modi is not at all ready listen all that what she wants to convey to Delhi to end the current phase of public uprising in Kashmir. Better for Mehbooba Mufti to promise all that what is within her competence and shun the policy of promising anything which is beyond her reach and competence.
