Daily Diary (DD) - Day 56 of 2024

2242hrs:

My screen is playing up and typing here is like fending in the dark. I got up at 0600hrs today and I barely had an hour of sleep after working through the night.

Today's financial statement:

....

In line with the spirit of direct democracy and previous initiatives in this regard given the absence of governance in our territory, hereby is a citizen application for the role of Public Policy Administrator - AJK, posted via Facebook this morning in Mirpur:

Here's the text of the application:

Citizen application....

For the urgently required and visibly absent role of public policy administrator, in the constitutionally ambiguous territory of 'Azad'* Jammu & Kashmir, in clear and present danger of usurpation

1) Who?

I - Tanveer Ahmed - s/o Khan Muhammad Rafique inhabitant of dhok: #Kokoi in village: #Gurutta in tehsil: #Sehnsa in district: #Kotli in the geopolitically neutral territory: #AJK of country Jammu Kashmir & Allied (areas), or #JKA for short.... 

2) Origins

As an aspiring citizen tracing my heritage in the modern territory of JKA to over a 1,000 years, hereby make a solemn application in excellent health, to the public of 'Azad'* Jammu & Kashmir....

3) Role

On the morning of this 25th day of February 2024, in the historic city of #Mirpur , to become your 1st public policy administrator, before the end of this calendar year (2024)....

4) Sovereignty

Adopting a methodology using #ThePeoplesReference through #DirectDemocracy , conducted via an open referendum, based on adult suffrage over the age of 16....

5) Process

Until the formal transfer of power to a genuinely elected government in the territory of AJK, under a constitution created and ratified by its people, through their own chosen legal representatives, in conformance with international law and without prejudice to any conflict resolution template offered by any forum; including the #UnitedNations ....

6) Lacunae

The reasoning should be apparent given the documented record of JKA PUBLIC AGENCY over almost 2 decades, to recognise the administrative void in statecraft and governance prevailing in our country, since material changes were adopted on the ground in October 1947 - without reference to the people - despite both verbal and written commitments by all 'parties' concerned....

7) *Caution

The word 'Azad' is contentious and its use has always been to scrutinise its origins and clarify the legal viability of its continuous use in the public domain, while also ensuring the prevailing 'governing regime' in the territory publicly describing itself as the 'free' government of the State of Jammu & Kashmir, does not excuse itself from its inclusive and non-partisan pledges, declared on the 24th of October 1947. 

8) Nomenclature 

It also serves the purpose to distinguish this territory from other parts of JKA, without deviating from our constitutional origins and without using appellations that give propaganda value to the claims of our neighbouring countries, at the cost of our undeniable entitlement to popular sovereignty over the territory of JKA.
