Daily Diary (DD) - Day 126 of 2020

2244hrs:

A 2:41 minute audio message in Urdu was sent to the prime minister of AJK today.




English translation followed by transcription in Urdu:

Greetings Respected Farooq Sahaab. The narrative (which we are referring to) is one that your 49 members of the (AJK) Assembly cannot espouse, due to certain compulsions or enticement that they've drawn themselves into and that has been the story - on aggregate - for the past 73 years.

We affirm that the transitional process - through the means by which - the system changed here in 1947, did not emanate through due process and whatever changes have emerged were conducted by the representatives of the British Crown. There was a proviso* that the people would be consulted (referred to) in the aftermath of whatever commotion took place in October 1947. Indeed, in that very letter in response to (Maharaja Hari Singh's appeal for military assistance) written by the then Governor General of India Lord Mountbatten.

This should also be kept in mind that the system of governance in India was (effectively) administered by the British up to 1950 while in Pakistan they remained till 1956. Thus, all developments occurred under British supervision. The Indian Independence Act and all that happened of consequence were under circumstances whereby the whole system of governance and administration viz. the economy, defence etc. remained under their control. 

So Indian Governor General Mountbatten in response to the Maharaja attached a proviso that when peace is restored then we will refer to the people (to determine their future). This is our first point of reference.

We don't need to leap forward to the United Nations. This issue was created by the British Empire and the solution leaves some parts of the key in London whilst the remaining parts are here, on the ground.

Thus, if we want a solution then that requires an initiative here (on the ground). In that manner, we will appear forthright in our approach to the world and hence be effective. What would emerge as our narrative to the world requires an internal process.

I think these words should suffice. This will be our second (Assembly) session. Our inaugural session was conducted on Sunday the 9th of February outside the Assembly Secretariat in Muzaffarabad. I'll send you the video link here...thank you very much.
