Dear Omar Abdulla,
Happy Republic Day !
I am writing this as an Ordinary Citizen of Bharatvarsh !
It is a matter of National humiliation and shame when we see the atrocities and the dirty tactics employed your Government in Jammu and Kashmir and the hand in glow incompetent UPA Government in the Center , especially to the Hoisting of the National flag in Lal Chowk by my brothers and sister of our Motherland Bharat.
My Mother Land so as Yours and the Brothers and Sisters who have come to Hoist the National flag with pride belongs to a Nation where we treat this Land as
"Ratnakaradhautapadam Himalyakirtitinim , Brahmarajarsiratnamdhyam vande Bharatamataram"
I would like to remind you of your Fundamental duties as an Ordinary citizen of this Great Nation.
To abide by the Constitution and respect the national flag and the national anthem.
To protect the Sovereignty, unity and integrity of India;
As Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar said We are Indians, firstly and lastly. So your duty bond to allow every citizen of this land to hoist the National flag in srinagar’s lalchowk.
The Land belongs to me and you and all the 115 crore Great men alive in this Spiritual Land.
"Kashmir is a part of India and we say it. It is so, a part of India today in the occupation of the enemy and we are peace-lovers, no doubt. But peace-lovers to what extent? That we will even allow a portion of our territory to be occupied by the enemy? Is there any possibility of our getting back this territory?" And he gave the answer that "we shall not get it through the efforts of the United Nations; we shall not get it through peaceful methods by negotiations with Pakistan. That means we lose it unless we use force" [Lok Sabha Speech 1952]. By Saymopradad Mokerjee
Looking at the history of flag hoisting
At that time, hoisting tricolour in Kashmir was a crime, and for Abdullah this holy work was illegal. Some patriotic youth opposed the hoisting of the red flag of the National Conference in a sports and prize distribution programme in Prince of Wales College (now, Gandhi Memorial College). Naturally violence against these brave hearts began, and the deputy prime minister Bakshi Ghulam Mohammed called for a seventy-two hour curfew to arrest supporters of the Praja Parishad. Pt. Premnath Dogra and others were imprisoned overnight in Srinagar and active repression was carried out. In the meantime, Shyamlal Sharma, executive body member Dhanwantar Singh, Chaturram Dogra, Shyamnathji (advocate) and many others escaped from Kashmir to meet Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee in Delhi, where the latter criticised the government quite harshly. He also vehemently protested against the anti-national policy of Abdullah. Sheikh Abdullah got surprised which resulted in a fast which the students were forced to do. Dr. Mookerjee tried his best to settle the matter. The real scenario of Jammu and Kashmir was clear to the members of the Parliament. Still different laws were made for the state where the national flag was not the tricolour but the red flag of the National Conference and the only slogan was that of the party: 'sadr-i-riasat'. The king was thrown out of the state.
May I ask-was not Sheikh Abdullah party to this Constitution? He was a Member of the Constituent Assembly; but he is asking for special treatment. Did he not agree to accept this Constitution in relation to the rest of India, including 497 States. It is good enough for all of them, why should it not be good enough for him in Kashmir? " [Lok Sabha Speech 1952]. By Saymopradad Mokerjee
Till date your family has been active in the state Politics and your father is now in the Union Cabinet of India, wont you have the responsibility to understand the sentiments of this Great Nation, what Kashmir means to us.. Its our heart and soul.
At the same time, we also pray that good sense prevail upon at least your Government to allow the patriots to hoist the National flag as India has lost hopes with UPA as they are busy looting the country .
The Polices of UPA , their stand on Kashmir , their stand on the Growing China are Pathetic, as a responsible citizen of this Nation, I submit you to Please Participate with my Brothers and Sisters who have come to Srinagar from across the country to Hoist the National Flag of India with Pride.
