| Why NC is separatists' mouthpiece | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 12: The defeated National Conference (NC) or a party which got a paltry 11 per cent votes in the 2014 general election is, undoubtedly, a mouthpiece of Kashmir-based separatist outfits. Its heart bleeds only for them and not for India. For India, it has only contempt and nothing but contempt.
Who doesn't know that the NC has been clamouring for pre-1953 politico-constitutional status or for a step short of independence or for reestablishing a local oligarchy in which the ruling elite will exercise absolute executive, legislative and judicial powers and the common people will have no other option but to live like slaves.
The memory of what Farooq Abdullah said in Jammu this very month on the sidelines of a function organized to remember late NC/Congress leader Girdhari Lal Dogra is too fresh to be forgotten. He had said the so-called Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan were parts of Pakistan and will ever remain so and no power on earth could snatch those Indian territories from Pakistan.
The people of the state also remember that the owners of the NC, who otherwise masquerade as mainstream secular leaders in Delhi to solicit the support of other secular parties for their sinister ideology, want New Delhi to start dialogue with Pakistan not for defending the India's sovereign interests but to allegedly strengthen the casue of separatists. Frankly speaking, the owners of the NC endorse the Pakistani view that "J&K is an unfinished agenda of partition".
What did the NC say in the wake of the December 9 highly disturbing Islamabad declaration or India-Pakistan joint-statement? The NC while welcoming the announcement of a "comprehensive dialogue process between India and Pakistan" said "it was equally important to simultaneously address the internal dimensions of the Kashmir issue by engaging with stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir". Both New Delhi and Islamabad should endeavour to start a simultaneous process of sustained political engagement with all shades of opinion in Kashmir, including the Hurriyat leadership".
"The announcement of a comprehensive dialogue between the two countries is a positive development. There is no alternative to dialogue and political engagement and the people of Jammu and Kashmir stand to benefit from peace and cordiality between India and Pakistan. People of Jammu and Kashmir are the worst sufferers from hostility between India and Pakistan and conversely can be the biggest beneficiaries of peace. We hope the comprehensive dialogue will start a process of structured engagement over the Kashmir Issue", NC spokesperson said.
The suggestion of the NC spokesperson that "New Delhi and Islamabad should endeavour to start a simultaneous process of sustained political engagement with all shades of opinion in Kashmir, including the Hurriyat leadership" not only indicated the Kashmir-based party's contempt for the nationalist people of Jammu and Ladakh and those sections of society (all victims of terrorism) which had been leading a miserable life in different parts of Jammu region for decades, but also established once again that the NC is no more than a Kashmir-based spokesperson as well as mouthpiece of the Hurriyat leaders, who roam about in certain Srinagar localities as "freedom fighters".
The real stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir are the Indian nation, the people of Jammu and Ladakh and communities like the Kashmiri Hindus, who have been representing India in the state and making sacrifices for the national cause. They, and not the NC or any other Kashmiri party, and four Kashmiri separatists and their handful of supporters, alone are the stakeholders; they have to decide the nation's fate. |
