| Nationalists want BJP to clear its stand on J&K | | Future of state | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 23: It is high time for BJP to make its stand clear on the political future of the state to allay fears of the nationalists in Jammu & Kashmir, who long for their complete merger with India, want New Delhi to take back from Pakistan all the illegally occupied state territories and teach Pakistan a lesson and look forward to a dispensation that ends the Valley's hegemony over the state polity and financial institutions and empower them to manage their own affairs themselves within the Indian Constitution.
"It would be an act of political dishonesty in case it maintained silence as before and allow its alliance partner to push forward its "reconciliation" agenda with Pakistan that gives a real and effective say to Islamabad in this part of Jammu & Kashmir as well and accords dangerous respectability to the politics of communalism and separatism being practiced in a most brazen manner by all or nearly all the Kashmiri leaders," said a BJP leader , adding that "they are planning to visit Delhi to meet party high command to know if it has decided to handover Jammu & Kashmir to Pakistan and throw in the lot of the very vast nationalist constituency in the state with the Kashmiri separatists, communalists and extremists".
"The high command has to take the state unit of the BJP into confidence. It cannot decide our fate and the fate of our state unilaterally," the BJP leaders said adding that "BJP leaders like Ram Madhav, Avinash Rai Khanna and certain other leaders in the party have destroyed the party and have further added to the woes of the nationalists in Jammu & Kashmir".
"All of us know it very well that the wave in favour of the BJP in the assembly elections was because the people of Jammu province rejected communal, separatist and hegemonic politics which has roots in the regional politics of Kashmir Valley and expected the BJP to usher in an era of change towards a more inclusive and balanced development of the state in a political idiom which is nationalistic and not separatist," said a very senior party functionary, adding that "what our party did to come into power in the state was just a negation of what it all through stood for and advocated".
"The high command has betrayed its own party in Jammu & Kashmir as well as people of the state. The people of the state will not forgive the BJP," said another senior leader. |
