| No difference between NC's Farooq, APHC's Farooq | | 'Talk to Pak or announce pol package' | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 4: It is difficult to differentiate between mainstream Kashmiri leaders and separatist leadership of the Valley. The reason is that they are on the same side as far as their attitude to India, Kashmir and Pakistan is concerned. They speak the same language without mincing words. The only difference is that while the so-called mainstream Kashmiri leaders speak that language to retain control over their respective constituencies and further expand them, if possible, the separatists speak the same language to remain in the good books of Pakistan and tell the gullible Kashmiri Muslims that they represent the Kashmiri anti-India aspirations. The roads though diverging lead to the same destination - separation of J&K from India and disintegration of the country.
That there is no fundamental difference between the so-called mainstream Kashmiri leaders and Kashmiri separatists or that they are more or less on the same page should not be construed as an overstatement. It is not. It is a statement of fact and can be easily verified from what the rabble-rouser and Pakistani agent, APHC-M chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, said in Kangan on October 30 and what the NC president and former J&K CM, Farooq Abdullah, said in Sopore on Tuesday. Both said no financial package would work in Kashmir and both batted for Pakistan and asserted that New Delhi must resolve Kashmir to end unrest in Kashmir by accommodating Kashmiris' separatist aspirations and communal urges.
Addressing a meeting at Kangan's Central Chowk after offering Friday prayers at Jamia Masjid Kangan, the Mirwaiz said it was time for India to understand that a political resolution and not economic package alone could resolve the Kashmir issue. "We will continue to struggle until the Kashmiris get their right to self determination," he said, adding that New Delhi could resolve the issue either under UN resolutions or by agreeing to hold trilateral talks over the issue between India, Pakistan and the "real" Kashmiri representatives. He made these ridiculous and provocative statements in the wake of to create impression that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to announce a financial package during his visit to Srinagar on November 7.
And what did Farooq Abdullah say at Sopore? "Till the time the issue of J&K is not resolved, no package can work in Kashmir," he told reporters at Sopore. "The Prime Minister is coming on November 7. Let's see what he can give to the people of Kashmir. I would say a (financial) package won't fulfill the (separatist) aspirations of the Kashmiri people. The most important issue is the Kashmir issue, and there is growing need for the Government (of India) to talk with Pakistan to solve the issue," he said.
And what the NC's Farooq and the APHC's Farooq established that they are chips of the same anti-India block. None talked about the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Ladakh, the State's two biggest provinces, which are inhabited by more than half of the State's population. What they said should once again vindicate those in Jammu and Ladakh who clamour for the State's division, saying the people of these two nationalist regions cannot co-exist with those who want to impose their regressive ideology on them and bat for Pakistan. |
