| Mufti plays his cards well, strengthens ties with PM | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 2: The chief minister Mufti Sayeed is making serious and fruitful efforts to further strengthen personal ties with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mufti by visiting Ahmedabad has send a political message that that two leaders, who matter most in the alliance, have mutual respect for each other.
Taking a politica risk, Mufti visited Ahmedabad, read Gujarat, which has witnessed one of the worst Hindu-Muslim riots in 2002, and after which Modi faced the vilification campaign by a section of the media.
The Chief Minister is trying to bring down the hostilities between Kashmir and the rest of the country. He is also by this equation trying to remove walls of mistrust between Hindus and Muslim and it's for this reason he went to the Gujarat. "Mufti had already taken at deep risk by forming an alliance with the BJP, despite knowing its political fallout. He can't go back now and in furtherance of the political risk he personally made it a point to go to Gujarat. He is taking risk to chart out a new political course for himself and for the Indian polity. And it seems, he is having the backing of Modi," said a senior official, privy to the developments.
Modi had also started believing in the policies and programmes of the Mufti Sayeed, and it is for this reason despite many provocative incidents which had political fallout for the BJP, didn't speak a word against Mufti and in fact had termed the alliance as an historic turn of the events. Mufti Sayeed, who is the only Muslim and that too a Kashmiri to hold the post of union home minister, is politically mature enough to play his cards and if he has gone to the Ahmedabad, he had done so probably after getting an assurance from the PM, that BJP, read Centre, will not try to appear as hostile to the sensitivities of the Kashmir and he (Mufti) can help the BJP in getting close to the Muslims.
"Mufti doesn't go to any place or makes a single statement without weighing its political political fallout. He has set out a mission for him to be a statesman of the Indian polity and it's for this reason he is taking risk at the fag end of the political life," says a person close to Mufti Sayeed. |
