BJP sees a role model in Yasin Malik for separatists to emulate 8/22/2015 12:58:49 AM Early Times Report srinagar, Aug 21: Failing to have come up to the expectations of the people of Jammu who voted Bharatiya Janta Party to power in the State, the BJP has started hailing separatists of Kashmir. In the latest, the BJP spokesman Khalid Jehangir today hailed senior separatist leader Mohammed Yasin Malik. The BJP spokesman in his Facebook post appreciated that Malik has voluntarily refrained from attending meeting with the Pakistan High Commission in India ahead of the scheduled talks of National Security Advisors of the two countries. "Other separatists should take cue from Yasin Malik for not attending Pak high commissioner's program & not be hurdles," Jehangir posted on Facebook. It is for the first time that the BJP has found a "role model" in militant-turned -separatist leader asking other separatist leaders to learn lesson from their colleague. While other separatist leaders including hardliner Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Javed Ahmed Mir have announced that they would meet Sartaj Aziz in New Delhi, Malik said he wouldn't meet the diplomat ahead of the India Pakistan talks. The BJP has already come under fire for having termed talks with Pakistan as imperative. As already reported by Early Times not a single BJP leader either in the State or at the Centre countered the Hurriyat's stand that Jammu & Kashmir was a disputed territory and the Kashmiri Muslims were a party to the Kashmir dispute. Meanwhile in a party handout, the BJP spokesman hailed separatist turned mainstream politician Sajad Gani Lone. "Sajad realized the futility of separatism and joined the national mainstream," Jehangir said. He said, "Separatists should realize that they cannot hold deliberations with the representative of another country." "If they have any grievances they should approach the Chief Minister, who is the elected representative and hold talks with him," he said. "If they (separatists) want to give some credible information on terrorism they should seek a meeting with National Investigating Agency (NIA)," he added.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
