dated September 16, 1958: Closer integration

Mr. G.M. Sadiq, Leader of the National Democratic Conference, to-day strongly pleaded for taking concrete steps to bring about a greater “emotional integration” between India and Kashmir. Mr. Sadiq, who was addressing a Press conference here (in New Delhi) said that the concrete steps that should be taken immediately were the extension of the jurisdiction of the Election Commission of India and the Supreme Court to the entire State of Jammu and Kashmir. Along with this the permit system for entry into the State of Indian nationals should be “rationalised”. There should be free movement of Indian citizens from any part of India to Kashmir and from Kashmir to any part of India. Further, the High Court of Kashmir should be governed under the provisions of the Indian Constitution on the lines of other High Courts in the country.
