And as a result, its policy of striking strategic alliances with regional forces on a common minimum programme has suffered a setback. Known as a shrewd strategist, the party functionary in charge of the Jammu and Kashmir affairs, talks to Bhaskar Roy about his plans to start a campaign against the autonomy demand in the state. On the one hand it is protesting Farooq Abdullah's autonomy resolution. And on the other, it wants his National Conference in government.
National integrity is one such subject.
It is better to keep it above daily politics. The resolution passed in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly poses a clear threat to the country's unity. It is a call for another partition. In view of the seriousness of the issue, it is better not to look at it as an intra-NDA problem. It calls for a larger perspective.
