Former Jammu andKashmir Chief Ministerand National Conference(NC) leader OmarAbdullah, who wasreleased from a prolongeddetention some time back,has said that he will notcontest assembly electionstill the time J&K remains aUnion Territory.In an opinion piece pub-lished in The IndianExpress, Omar Abdullahhas written that he willnot be contesting assem-bly elections in Jammuand Kashmir. He has writ-ten, “As for me, I am veryclear that while J&Kremains a Union TerritoryI will not be contestingany Assembly elections.Having been a member ofthe most empoweredAssembly in the land andthat, too, as the leader ofthat Assembly for sixyears, I simply cannot andwill not be a member of aHouse that has been dis-empowered the way ourshas.”Omar Abdullah has also

written about a meetinghe attended with PrimeMinister Narendra Modiahead of the abrogation ofArticle 370 on August 5,2019 when Jammu andKashmir was stripped ofits special status andbifurcated into two UnionTerritories. “Some of us,senior office-bearers of theJ&K National Conference,had a meeting with thePM just days before theAugust 5 developments.It’s not a meeting I willforget in a hurry. One dayI may write about it butpropriety precludes mefrom saying more thanthat we left the meetingwith a completely differ-

ent impression aboutwhat was going to unfoldin the next 72 hours. Inone fell swoop, every-thing we had feared cameto pass,” said OmarAbdullah in his article.The former chief minister,in his article has also saidthat the promises made toJammu and Kashmir werenot fulfilled and theremoval of Article 370was “not the right thing todo”.

“J&K participated in dem-

ocratic processes, shared

in nation’s development

but the promise made

with it wasn’t kept.

Removing 370 may have

been the popular thing to

do, but going back on a

nation’s sovereign com-

mitments was not the

right thing to do,” the NC

leader has said.

He also said, “After the

re-election of Prime

rumours started to float

about the intentions of the

BJP to use its absolute

majority in the Lok Sabha

to implement its poll

promise of abrogating

Article 370 and Article

35A of the Constitution.

Fears reached a fever

pitch when plane loads of

central para-military

forces where flown in to

Srinagar and dispatched

all over the state.”

“Many reasons were

given to justify the com-

and e-Internship in the J&K High

CourtJAMMU

Chief Justice, Jammu and Kashmir High Court, Justice

Gita Mittal, has approved the scheme for Internship

and e-Internship in the J&K High Court.

Responding to the need to put in place a proper

scheme in the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir for

engagement of law students (unpaid), either on a reg-

ular basis and/or e-internships, who may be remotely

located as well, the Chief Justice has conceptualized

this scheme.

Showing utmost concern towards the difficulties

being faced by the law students in seeking opportuni-

ties for internships in offices/ chambers of Judges, law

offices, lawyers chambers etc. and being unable to

observe the practical working of courts and learn

research work during the Covid 19 pandemic, the

scheme has been accorded approval for implementa-

tion by the Chief Justice in the High Court of Jammu

and Kashmir.

Pertinently, prior to the approval of this scheme, there

was no such scheme for engagement of law Interns in

the High Court of J&K.

Under the scheme, the Chief Justice and the Judges of

the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir can permit

internships to law students, either regular or by way

of e-internship.

To be eligible for applying as an Intern, the candidate

must be pursuing LL.B course from a recognized Law

College/ University established by law in India and

should be eligible for enrolment as an Advocate with

the Bar Council of India or State Bar Councils on con-

clusion of the LL.B course and must have a good

working knowledge of computer.

As per the scheme, Law Universities/ College(s) have

been authorized to make recommendation(s) for

internship of a candidate. A candidate can also apply

directly either to the Registrar General or to the Judge

of the High Court through his/her private secretary

with whom the applicant seeks to intern.

The scheme further envisages that the Law Intern will

be issued an experience certificate by the Registrar

General on successful completion of internship with

the approval of the Judge with whom the intern was

attached.

Pertinently, Law internships are established pro-

grams’ in courts all over the world including several

high courts in India. Internships are fixed term per-

missions granted to law students to attend and

observe court proceedings, read files of cases, under-

take legal research on points assigned to them and any

other law related activity.

With the approval of the scheme, the law students

studying in various colleges/universities/law Schools

and other institutions shall get an opportunity to fur-

ther hone their legal skills and understand both

breadth and depth of legal knowledge.

Editorial

In this moment of celebration, at

least, let us keep aside the fact that it

took an order of the Supreme Court

for the Indian Army to ensure perma-

nent commissions for women. The

decision to grant such commissions to

Short Service Commission officers in

the 10 streams they presently serve is

certainly a step towards greater

empowerment and meets, in part, a

longstanding demand for gender equal-

ity. Permanent commissions will be

offered in the Army Air Defence (AAD),

Signals, Engineers, Army Aviation,

Electronics and Mechanical Engineers

(EME), Army Service Corps (ASC),

Army Ordnance Corps (AOC), and

Intelligence Corps in addition to the

existing streams of Judge and Advocate

General (JAG) and the Army

Educational Corps (AEC). Unlike the

British Gorkhas though who are poised

to recruit women in infantry roles,

India will keep its women soldiers away

from combat roles, in terms of the

Supreme Court order passed last

February. The battle to allow women

enhanced roles in the Army has been a

long one. Governments over the years

have shied away from commitment, for

the most part opting for occasion- driv-

en tokenism as in 2016 when the then

Defence Minister had told the Ficci

ladies’ organisation that the govern-

ment might consider an allwomen bat-

talion to circumvent logistical problems

such as separate accommodation et al.

Of course, no such battalion was raised

nor is one on the anvil and of course by

citing logistics – and not mindsets – as

the reason for the dithering, the

Minister had conveniently fudged facts.

For left to themselves, the Army and the

bureaucracy would have preferred to

keep women on as mere show soldiers,

to be used in largely ceremonial roles.

This week’s decision arrests that trend,

but only very partially.

ANIL GUPTA

The nation commemoratesKargil Vijay Diwas everyyear on July 26 to recount the

sacrifice and martyrdom of ourarmed forces that brought laurelsto the nation by defeating a deceit-ful and untrustworthy neighbourof ours during the Kargil War of1999. It is celebrated to honour thesacrifices of our brave soldiers,who laid down their lives on thelofty heights of Kargil on the front-lines to secure an unparalleled vic-tory in the annals of military histo-ry. The war, fought mainly in theuncompromising climate of theupper Himalayas, saw the rawcourage of Indian soldiers assault-ing uphill, unmindful of enemyfire and dislodging them after atough hand-to-hand fight. Theyregained our lost territory whichthe enemy forces had occupiedsurreptitiously, throwing to windthe unsigned convention betweenthe two armies of maintaining sta-tus quo in the traditional gapsalong the Line of Control (LoC).But for the raw courage and auda-cious bravery of our soldiers andyoung officers, history wouldhave been different as theunscrupulous enemy had succeed-ed in taking us by surprise. Sadlyenough, what happened in Kargilis being replicated, albeit on amuch larger scale, across thetrans- Himalayan region inEastern Ladakh along the Line ofActual Control (LAC).We were surprised then and wehave been surprised now.Intelligence, Surveillance andReconnaissance (ISR ) remain ourmajor weakness. Since the warwas limited and the LoC wasmuch smaller in length, thoughthere were shortages, the crunchwas not felt. The amassing ofBofors guns and ammunitionplayed a crucial role in enablinginfantry assaults. The Indian AirForce (IAF), too, played a majorrole though it was not equipped tofight at those heights with therestriction of not crossing the LoC.India also successfully called thenuclear bluff of Pakistan. A deter-mined political leadership made acritical difference. The higher mil-itary leadership and higher direc-tion of war left many questions tobe answered which were subse-quently addressed by the KargilReview Committee (KRC) butunfortunately no heads rolled.Our true homage to the martyrswould be to say with certainty andauthority that their sacrificeswould not go waste and a Kargil-like situation will not be repeated.While we can say with confidencethat Kargil 2.0 will not happenagain but while achieving thatcapability, did we ignore our otherneighbour? While we consideredPakistan as a threat, we continuedto treat China as a challenge. Ourpolitical leadership was convincedabout averting a conflict withChina through political and diplo-matic outreach. Despite the alarmraised by the Army and otherservices, the political hierarchywas overconfident of their capa-bility to handle China. LikePakistan, China, too, proved to betreacherous and lulled our leader-ship into being friendly because itneeded the Indian market to

become an economic superpower.China all the while wanted to bethe sole power in Asia but ourleadership failed to read theChinese mind correctly as it didwith Pakistan at the time of Kargil.While AB Vajpayee had taken abus ride to Lahore in search ofpeace, its scheming Army ChiefPervez Musharraf was planningthe Kargil incursions.Like any developing nation with alarge segment of the populationbelow the poverty line, we alsoface the dilemma of butter versusbarrel of the gun. EveryGovernment had to tread a verycautious path while allocatingresources for defence forces. Evenduring Kargil, General Malik, thethen chief, had said that “myArmy will fight with whatever wehave.” Immediately after Kargil,unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)and other surveillance equipmentwere added to the inventory.However, post-Kargil, because ofthe Bofors scandal, all majordefence contracts were put onhold. As a result, the country’sarmed forces began to suffer notonly obsolescence but shortages inspares, affecting the battle-readi-ness of equipment.However, the trend was reversedpost-2014 and big ticket purchaseswere made for enhancing the com-bat efficiency of the forces.Delegation and enhancement offinancial powers was also done toenable the armed forces to meettheir immediate and critical needs.Today, our armed forces are well-equipped with latest platforms,smart munitions, UAVs, missilesand so on. We have definitelymade a qualitative jump butnumerically we are still short offighting a sustained two-frontwar. Also criticality still exists inour Air Defence and the infantryweapon systems. The Navy andIAF also have critical gaps whichneed to be filled. Depending onthe quality of security we need, apercentage of the GDP (not below3.5) has to be earmarked for thedefence budget.Unlike 1999, when we had justbecome a nuclear power, today weboast of our triad capability withICBM capability. However, inview of the looming threat, wemust review our policy of “NoFirst Use.” India has alwaysbelieved in honouring varioustreaties and agreements but bothour neighbours have shown scantrespect for them while threateningus on the LoC/LAC. In the case ofKargil, the plan was made as earlyas during the Zia regime. Weshould have known about it.Thereafter, Pakistan began a proxywar against us. Just prior to KargilWar, it began regular shelling ofthe national highway, linkingKashmir and Ladakh. Ourresponses were mainly defensiveand ad-hoc. Pro-active and puni-tive responses were absent due tothe fear of an escalation. Pakistantook advantage of it, ignored theunderstanding about “traditionalgaps” and presented us a faitaccompli in the form of Kargilincursions.It is the same with China. Despitesalami-slicing, we continued toappease it. Even after Doklam, wefailed to wake up. The net result isthe multi-point, well- planned

incursions in eastern Ladakh witha definite aim of holding out andnot vacating. Our planners wouldhave known that our claim ofAksai Chin and Gilgit Baltistanwill definitely raise hackles inChina because both are very criti-cal to Chinese President XiJinping’s pet project of the Beltand Road Initiative (BRI).However, our planners, includingthe military, failed to take any pre-ventive and precautionary meas-ures to thwart the Chinese threat.Once again we are reacting.Worried about escalation, we didnot even exercise the option ofquid pro quo. Now it may be toolate though the LAC is quite vastand the enemy has many vulnera-bilities. The possibility of collusionbetween China and Pakistan can-not be ruled out completely,though Islamabad does not havethe capability to launch such anoffensive for the time being.Where we were holding the entirefrontage with a brigade then, nowwe have a full infantry divisionwith well-sited and hardeneddefences along the entire length ofthe LoC. Similarly, compared to1962, our defences in easternLadakh are very strongly heldwith adequate reserves and a well-developed road and track net-work. The Kargil experience hasshown us that a ratio of 1:9 or 1:12is needed in these heights tolaunch offensive operations.ISR was a weakness then andremains so even today. Though alot of structural changes havetaken place like the DefenceIntelligence Agency (DIA),National Technical ResearchOrganisation (NTRO), DefenceImage Processing and AnalysisCentre (DIPAC), yet the optimalhas not been achieved. The prob-lem does not lie in the assets but intimely processing and dissemina-tion. The permanent office of theNational Security Advisor (NSA)is meant to look into this vitalaspect of national security man-agement but the desired level ofintegration has not taken place.We also need to enhance the capa-bility of operational and tacticalintelligence. In such a terrain, withunpredictable and harsh weather,a multi-mode, multi-layered, all-weather, 24x7 surveillance grid isneeded. We also need to developcapability to monitor the move-ment of Chinese troops and for-mations to the plateau or towardsthe LAC from the XinjiangMilitary District. Mountains doimpose certain restrictions but weneed to invest more in therequired means. Lack of jointnesswas a major lesson from Kargil.Here I would like to quote thefirst-hand experience of the thenColonel General Staff of 8Mountain Division, which wasmoved from the Valley to dislodgethe intruders. “Ever since the infa-mous huff between the then Armyand IAF chiefs in the initial stagesof the operations, the Army andAir Force never operated in uni-son. In the first week of June, theIAF recommenced OperationSafed Sagar as we were inOperation Vijay. Two standaloneoperations in a small mountainousarea, where the IAF had neveroperated earlier.

Kashmir Bar association pres-

ident’s detention will not be

extended after August 6,

Centre tells SCSolicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing theCentre, made the submission that the detention willnot be extended. To this, senior advocate DushyantDave, on behalf of Qayoom, said the bar associationpresident’s fundamental rights were being violatedwith this “illegal detention”.Dave and counsel Vrinda Grover contended thatQayoom should be released now especially since theCentre has decided not to extend his detention order.The Supreme Court bench then asked Mehta to con-sider releasing him on bail for the rest of the detentionperiod.The top court said that it was trying to figure out a“workable arrangement”. “The government may havesome apprehensions to release him due to theapproaching date,” the court said. “Are you willing torelease him if he doesn’t go there [Jammu andKashmir] till the seventh, agrees to stay in Delhi andnot release any statements?”Following this, the proceedings were adjourned tillJuly 29.The Centre on Monday informed the Supreme Courtthat the detention order of Jammu and Kashmir BarAssociation President Mian Abdul Qayoom will notbe extended when it ends on August 6, reported Barand Bench. Qayoom was among several peopledetained when the Centre revoked the erstwhilestate’s special status and split the region into theUnion Territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakhin August.The bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Paul, Ajay Rastogiand Aniruddha Bose took up Qayoom’s petitionagainst his detention.Qayoom’s plea also said that the High Court hadagreed that the grounds for the lawyer’s detentionwere “somewhat clumsy”, yet it upheld the detention.Detentions under the Public Safety ActMany Kashmiri politicians were also detained underthe Act when India revoked the special status ofJammu and Kashmir. Former Chief Minister OmarAbdullah was released from detention on March 24.After his release, Abdullah demanded the release ofother Kashmiri politicians, including former ChiefMinister Mehbooba Mufti. Abdullah’s release ordercame less than a week after the Supreme Court askedthe Centre to clarify on its intention to release himfrom detention.The administration had released Abdullah’s father onMarch 13. Farooq Abdullah was detained at his resi-dence in Gupkar Road in Srinagar.Peoples Democratic Party chief and former ChiefMinister Mehbooba Mufti still remains in detention.On June 8, the Supreme Court sought a response fromthe Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir administra-tion on a plea by Congress leader Saifuddin Soz’s wife,challenging his house arrest since August 5.The administration, however, released PeoplesDemocratic Party leader Naeem Akhtar on June 18.The previous day, the administration releasedNational Conference leader and former minister AliMohammad Sagar, after the High Court set aside hisdetention.

Farooq Abdullah calls for restoration

of statehood of Jammu and Kashmir

JAMMU

As the revocation ofJammu and Kashmir’sspecial status is set tocomplete one year onAugust 5, former ChiefMinister FarooqAbdullah on Sundaycalled for restoration ofits statehood and hopedthe Supreme Courtwould render justice bystriking down the repealof Article 370 provisions.In his first media inter-view after the abrogationof Article 370 of theConstitution that endedthe erstwhile state’s spe-cial status, Abdullah, 82,told PTI that his partywould continue to con-test the changes throughall democratic means.These changes were a“betrayal” of the trustreposed by the people ofJammu and Kashmirwhen the State acceded tothe Union of India, hesaid.The Centre had abrogat-ed the special status onAugust 5 last year, sayingArticle 370 had stalledthe development ofJammu and Kashmir,prevented proper educa-tion, health care andgrowth of industriesbesides not helping incurbing terrorism.The National Conference(NC), of which Abdullahis the President, has

mounted a legal chal-lenge in the SupremeCourt to the abrogationof Article 370 and carvingout of two union territo-ries of Jammu andKashmir, and Ladakhfrom the erstwhile state.The legislation passed byParliament and the sub-sequent orders issued bythe President were“unconstitutional”, it hassubmitted in the apexcourt which has set up afive-member bench tohear the matter.“As a political party it isbut natural that we willkeep the people informedabout what we are doingto get justice. We are veryclear that we do notaccept the changes forcedon us and will continue tooppose them,” said theveteran leader who wasarrested hours beforeArticle 370 provisionswere scrapped on August5 and spent over sevenmonths in detention.Abdullah, who hasserved three terms as theborder state’s chief minis-ter, said, “We will fightfor our rights, campaignfor our rights withindemocratic means. Wehave never used guns, wehave never used methodswhich are not constitu-tional. We are a demo-cratic mainstream partyand will use all demo-

cratic means at our dis-posal.”Describing the changes as“vishwasghat” (betrayalof trust) reposed by peo-ple of Jammu andKashmir at the time ofaccession, he said, “Thetrust we had reposed inDelhi has come tonought.”“There is a loss of trustand Delhi has to rebuildthe trust. That trust willcome only when thestatehood is restored andother changes arereversed. That has to bedone,” Abdullah, a sit-ting member of LokSabha, said.“What happened isunfortunate. They(Centre) said J and K willprogress once this thing(Article 370) is removed,militancy will disappear.I would like to ask thosepeople, has militancy dis-appeared? It hasincreased rather thandecreased. Any develop-ment? Zero development.Whatever we had wehave lost even that,” hesaid.Explaining his party’sdecision to move theSupreme Court,Abdullah said, “We areseeking justice from thehighest court of the landbecause of our faith in thejudiciary. We are hopefulthat justice will be ren-

dered to us.”He emphasised that fullstatehood should berestored to Jammu andKashmir and that allother changes should bereversed. “We are look-ing up to the SupremeCourt.”Abdullah said people ofJammu and Kashmir hadsuffered for decades dueto militancy before the“trauma of August 5”,followed by the COVID-19 pandemic.“We desperately needpeace but also restorationof our honour and digni-ty taken away withoutconsulting the peoplemost affected by the dras-tic changes,” he added.Asked if his party wouldparticipate in elections tothe Assembly likely to beheld next year, the NCpresident said it was notfor him to decide but thecall would be taken bythe party’s working com-mittee. “When the situa-tion comes, we will sittogether and see what ishappening.”Abdullah was sharplycritical of the new domi-cile laws for Jammu andKashmir, and said the NChad always feared therewould be attempts tochange its demography.“Now our fears are com-ing true. We are going tofight it,” he added.About the delimitationcommission set uprecently to re-draw theAssembly constituencies,Abdullah said the NChad boycotted it allegingthat the intentions of theBJP-led government atthe Centre were notgood.“The delimitation exer-cise was to be done in2026 along with the restof the country. What wasthe necessity of doing itnow? This is where wefear that their intentionsare not good,” he said.

Change in Stand : 4G won't be a problem, J&K to Home MinistryJAMMU

The Union Territory ofJammu and Kashmir hastold the Union Ministryof Home Affairs that itdid not have any objec-tion in restoring 4G inter-net services, and thathigh-speed Net connec-tivity would not pose anyproblem.“We have been making(a) representation forthis… I feel that 4G willnot be a problem. I amnot afraid how peoplewill use this. Pakistanwill do its propaganda,whether it is 2G or 4G. Itwill always be there…

But I don’t see an issue,”Lieutenant Governor G CMurmu told The SundayExpress here Friday.This is a change in theearlier position taken bythe J&K administrationtwo months ago in May.In an affidavit filed onThursday in the SupremeCourt, the Centre hadsaid that a special com-mittee set up to examinethe demands for restor-ing 4G services, follow-ing the orders of thecourt on May 11, had mettwice on May 15 and June10, and arrived at a deci-sion that “no further

relaxation of the restric-tions on Internet services,including 4G services,would be carried out atpresent”.The special committeecomprises the UnionHome Secretary,Department ofT e l e c o m m u n i c a t i o n sSecretary and the ChiefSecretary of J&K.On May 11, the J&Kadministration hadsought the dismissal of aplea by the Foundationfor Media Professionalsat the Supreme Court bypointing out that high-speed internet would

enable the spread of fakenews/ rumours, andtransfer of heavy audio/video files, which couldbe used by terror outfitsfor incitement as also inplanning attacks.To another question onthe J&K InformationDepartment’s MediaPolicy 2020, whichempowers the DIPR(Department ofInformation and PublicRelations) to examinemedia content for fakenews, plagiarism andunethical or anti-nationalactivities, Lt GovernorMurmu said, “I will

check this, this is notrequired. There are rele-vant IPC/ CrPC andother laws for this.”The policy, implementedby the InformationDepartment on May 15,2020, said, “DIPR shallexamine the content ofthe print, electronic andother forms of media forfake news, plagiarism,unethical or anti-nationalactivities.” Any individ-ual or group indulging inthis shall be de-empan-elled, it said.The Lieutenant Governorsaid that the DIPR didnot have the capacity to

decide whether a news is“anti-national.”“This obviously, only theagencies can check. Wecan delete this also (fromthe revised media policy).They (DIPR) only have todo the checks requiredfor accreditation, but notfacts… if there is such asituation, they will get itchecked from agencies.What is ‘anti-national’ isa parameter of law… theSupreme Court has givenjudgements on this fromtime to time… Again,agencies or police willhave to do (look intothis),” he said
