| After Pak, ISIS flags, now Chinese flags in Kashmir | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 19: Till not so-long-ago, it was customary with the anti-nationals in Kashmir to wave Pakistan flags on Friday. It would happen soon after the Friday prayers. Last year, Kashmir witnessed a new trend. More radicals started waving the IS (Islamic State) flags, along with Pakistan flags, thus suggesting that the process of radicalization in Kashmir had been assuming alarming proportions. The Government of India noticed it but didn't take action required to curb the trend.
In fact, some top BJP ministers took the waving of Pakistan and IS flags a minor affair. They even took on news channels, saying they were making mountains out of molehills. To be more precise, they advised the media to ignore the anti-national activities. Some BJP ministers also took the same line. Since political leadership took these anti-India events casually, the security forces on their part adopted an attitude that made things easy for the separatists.
The result of inaction was that the anti-nationals got emboldened and it could be seen from the rise of another trend: waving of Chinese flags. The eighth BRICS summit in Goa had its "anti-India reverberations" in the Kashmir Valley. Anti-national elements in Baramulla hoisted Pakistani and Chinese flags after Friday prayers. This coincided with the arrival of Xi Jinping on the Indian soil. The coincidence was lost out on none. The messaging for China's help by the separatists and the militants in Baramulla has injects a new dimension to militancy and jihad in Kashmir. It is a dangerous development and the state government has to take all the necessary steps to arrest the trend.
It was for the first time that Chinese flags had been seen in the Valley. Soon after Friday prayers at the Idgah in Baramulla on October 14, anti-nationals staged demonstration in which Chinese and Pakistani flags waved. According to eyewitnesses, the "protesters, who were shouting anti-India slogans, had inscribed a message on one of the flags that sought help from China".
On Tuesday, "A large quantity of incriminating material such as petrol bombs, Chinese and Pakistani flags, Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad letter pads, unauthorized mobile phones and seditious anti-national publicity material were seized during the raids," a spokesman of the Army revealed on Tuesday. The search operation in the old town of Baramulla lasted over 12 hours.
It became clear that both China and Pakistan were working in tandem and they want to create a two-front situation for India in the state. Both the countries have come to believe that situation in Kashmir is conducive for creating more troubles for India in the Valley and, hence, are exploiting the situation to their advantage.
China and Pakistan are ideological states. Both are leveraging on their ideological constituents within India. These constituents also comprise Maoists and the jihadis respectively. Their convergence has dangerous consequences. India's undoing has been that New Delhi did not crush these foreign ideologies and it did not develop any counter ideology.
Now that the anti-nationals are waving Pakistani and Chinese flags and openly batting for both the hostile nations, it is time for the government of India to act and act before it is too late. |
