| No change of guard in J&K, says Ram Madhav | | Defends agenda of alliance | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 1: Monday witnessed rumours about change of guard in Jammu & Kashmir. The rumour was: Chief Minister Mufti Sayeed was not keeping well; he was quitting and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti could replace him anytime from now. Mehbooba Mufti dismissed the talks about change of guard as a figment of imagination and said everything was fine. The rumour mongers spread rumour that "Mufti Muhammad Sayeed is…not keeping well for last several weeks and has been out of the State from quite some time to consult doctors". "Mufti Sayeed was returning to Srinagar on Tuesday after visiting Mumbai and Bangalore, where he also met his son. What I can I do when rumour-mongers float rumuors," she said, adding that the Chief Minister was fine. She cleared the air in Kashmir.
In Delhi, it was Ram Madhav, BJP national general secretary and in-charge of Jammu & Kashmir, who took the charge to clear the confusion created by the rumour-mongers in social media. He declared "there is no question of changing the Chief Minister in the State". "There is no question of change of Chief Minister in J&K," Madhav was quoted as saying. "When there is no question, how come BJP will know it?," he reportedly asked, and added "There is no problem and the government is functioning properly" and that "coalition partners are making every effort for the development of J&K".
Madhav, who was one of the architects of the agenda of alliance on the basis of which the PDP-BJP coalition Government came into being six months ago, also asserted that the "BJP would stick to its position on Article 370 as stated in the agenda of alliance" and stated that "nothing can be done outside the agenda of alliance". In other words, he yet again rubbed salt on the wounds of the nationalist constituency in the state by reiterating that while the existing Valley-centric and anti-Jammu and anti-Ladakh political and constitutional arrangement in the State would remain untouched, efforts shall be made to create an environment that would enable Pakistan and Hurriyat to poke their dirty noses in the affairs of national import. The agenda of alliance, instead of saying India is the only stakeholder in Jammu & Kashmir, says that Pakistan and Hurriyat leaders are also the stakeholders.
The agenda of alliance doesn't really consider Jammu & Kashmir an integral part of India and clearly suggests that the issue would be resolved as per the Vajpayee doctrine of Kashmiriyat, Insaniyat and Jamhooriyat (read Musharraf's four-point break-India formula). The agenda of alliance has of late become a subject of intense debate and discussion with serious Jammu & Kashmir-watchers dismissing it as "agenda of subversion", "A new charter of bondage for Jammu", "another chain in the rivet of Jammu slavery" and "architecture of capitulation" and demanding its rejection at the earliest, asserting that it contains everything sinister in it. The debate is likely to turn fierce in the coming days, as serious efforts are being made by its critics to approach right persons so that the public opinion is mobilized against what they call "pernicious and dangerous document".
As for the rumour, things have been explained and everything would become crystal clear in the next few days. People would come to know the truth sooner than later. They are very much interested in knowing the truth as the rumour has created a sort of political instability and anxiety in the official camp and outside for obvious reasons, the most important being that Jammu & Kashmir is a sensitive state, which can't afford political instability. |
