The common minimum programme worked out between Peoples' Democratic Party and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party at the centre, to be named as "Agenda for Alliance" or Modi-Mufti Accord will be the fourth document signed between Delhi and Srinagar over past 60-years.
The earlier one being Delhi Agreement of 1952 signed between prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Sheikh Abdullah as a follow up of Instrument of Accession, limiting powers of Central government in Jammu and Kashmir.
The 1975 Accord again signed by Sheikh Abdullah, but now with Nehru's daughter Indira Gandhi, who was then prime minister, paved way for the return of Sheikh Abdullah to power. The Accord promised to review laws extended to Jammu and Kashmir after 1975, but assurance was not implemented. In 1986, Farooq Abdullah signed accord with Rajiv Gandhi, that paved way for National Conference -Congress alliance and Farooq's way back to chief ministership. The Accord, which was devoid of any political commitments also largely seen paving way for engulfing the state into militancy.
The PDP patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed is likely to sign the CMP, which will be known as Agenda for Alliance with prime minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday. Talking to dna, Mufti, who will be next chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir said differences over contentious issues like Article 370 and Armed Forces Special Powers Act have been ironed out. "Please wait for some more time. The differences have been ironed out and everything will be clear in the CMP," the PDP patron said. He was still cautious to announce details, saying a meeting with the prime mnister will further clarify the situation.
