| Pak again provoke India | | Meeting between Basit, Geelani | |
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Mar 10: It is absolutely crystal clear. Provocative Islamabad is not interested in harmonizing relations with India, which not once but umpteen times tried its best to make Pakistan behave so that all the outstanding issues between the two countries are resolved in a peaceful environment. It has again crossed the line to provoke and humiliate New Delhi by according a dangerous legitimacy to the rogues like Syed Ali Shah Geelani and create a situation that will force New Delhi to do what it did in August 2014 to tell Pakistan that if it meant business with India, it had to maintain distance from the agents of death and destruction in Kashmir like Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Yasin Malik and Shabir Shah. In August, the Narendra Modi Government had cancelled the scheduled foreign secretary-level talks between the two countries in the wake of the meeting between the Pakistani High Commissioner, Abdul Basit, and Hurriyat leader Shabir Ahmad Shah in Delhi.
That Pakistan continues to behave like an irresponsible nation and is determined to play a mischief to undermine the Indian sovereignty in Jammu & Kashmir became clear on Monday when the Pakistan High Commissioner Basit met with Geelani at his Delhi residence to willfully provoke India.
The meeting between the two has, as expected, not gone down well with New Delhi and the Indian political class and there are reasons to believe that New Delhi would respond in a befitting manner.
What did Basit discuss with Geelani in the wake of the raging controversy over the release of Masrat Alam by the PDP-led government in Jammu & Kashmir? According to Pakistan High Commission sources, the Pakistan High Commissioner briefed Geelani about the foreign secretary-level talks held last week in Islamabad.
The sources also revealed that Basit "is likely to meet other separatist leaders also to brief them about the foreign secretary level talks" and that "the meetings are also likely to be utilized by Basit to invite the separatist leaders to Pakistan Day celebrations on March 23". Pakistan observes March 23 every year as Pakistan Day, as it was on this date in 1940 that the Muslim League had adopted Pakistan resolution in Lahore, which had said that Hindus and Muslims were two distinct nations which could not co-exist.
Significantly, Alam also subscribes to the two-nation theory of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
He says Pakistan is his strength, India is his enemy and his whole objective is to establish Islamic rule in Jammu & Kashmir. After his release from jail, Alam said that "he has been transferred from a smaller jail to a bigger jail"; that "he will now speak and work for the movement" and that "he will break the chain of slavery and get for Kashmir full independence".
Alam is also very close to Geelani whose views are no different from the former. In fact, both Geelani and Alam are two sides of one and the same coin and both are Pakistani agents whose single point agenda is to not only Islamize Jammu & Kashmir and merge it with Pakistan but also disintegrate India. It is hardly necessary to reproduce here what Geelani told reporters after his meeting with Basit. Suffice to say that he said "Kashmir is a disputed territory, the issue needed to be resolved through trilateral talks between India, Pakistan and Kashmiris and if peace is to be restored in the region Kashmir issue has to be resolved as per the aspirations of Kashmiri Muslims" (read Pakistan).
All these developments have alarmed the people of Jammu province, as they believe, and rightly, that some insidious influence is at work in Pakistan and Kashmir to defeat the nationalist constituency in the state by imposing the separatists' ideology on it. If one goes by the prevailing mood of the people of Jammu province, then it can be said that things could assume alarming proportions in this part of the state. In fact, many in Jammu have opined that separation of Jammu province from Kashmir is the only option left to them and that there is the immediate need to form a regional party that would controvert the baneful influence of Pakistan and Kashmiri separatists on the state polity and society. At the same time, they want New Delhi to act both against Pakistan and Geelani. |
