Permit me, for once, to differ with parts of your excellent editorial “Abandoning Kashmir” (June 21).
You have yourself stated that “the original BJP-PDP coalition was itself an odd decision” and “how poorly the BJP-PDP coalition has managed the sentiments of the people of the state”. So, a great mistake was made by both the parties — admittedly an opportunistic decision by both to form the government. The combine gave it a good try, failed miserably and realised it was a bad decision. Now, when the BJP wants to make amends, you bill it “political opportunism”! Isn't that unfair?
