| Vilification campaign launched against PDP | | 'BJP a pack of deadly wolves', say Kashmiri opinion makers | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 16: A number of Kashmiri opinion-makers have ganged up against the PDP in general and Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed in particular.
They have opined: "It is high time that Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed now save his bruised skin from more bites being inflicted upon him by snakes (in this case BJP and RSS) he has been feeding with sweet milk for about a year now. His hugging the communal political organisation, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a born enemy of Kashmiri Muslims and patron and mentor of Kashmiri Hindus, has given this veteran Kashmir politician nothing except unrest and mental disturbance out of this dangerous accord between a liberal regional organization and a pack of unbridled deadly wolves out to tear to pieces the ethos of a most secular Kashmir".
"Time is still left for Mufti Sayeed to spit at his half-broken chair of power. All is not lost. He can regain his fast declining popularity he is losing presently among the people. He better withdraw from a dangerous ally (BJP), call for fresh elections, join hands with the Congress, not with National Conference, and re-emerge as the leader regaining his lost glory," they have also opined.
What are their grouses against the BJP and the Chief Minister? Their grouses are many. They said, "of late and expectedly, Mufti has been "pushed against the wall"; his entire attention is now directed towards fast development of a "Hindu Jammu at the cost of totally ignored Kashmiris" who have been forced to spend their days and nights in darkness immediately after an outdated Darbar Move; similarly, Mufti seems to have "changed the gear box of self-rule with the result that the gear is stuck and the vehicle has come to a standstill"; and Mufti will not be able to "achieve his goal due to the fact that his coalition enemy (BJP) shall in no case allow him to have his own way, particularly with regard to a comprehensive progress of Kashmir and its majority Muslim population".
They have many other grouses against the PDP and the Chief Minister and their basic suggestion is that the PDP has hurt its own interests and interests of Kashmir by forging an alliance with the BJP. Indeed, their campaign against the PDP and the Chief Minister is communally motivated. Mufti has not done anything wrong to Kashmir and his constituency. He has also not deviated from the path he all along treaded. See, for example, the agenda of alliance, which shows that it was not the PDP that compromises its ideology; it was the BJP that did it. The PDP negotiators got everything from the BJP that the PDP wanted.
The PDP wanted that the special status of the State to be maintained and must be protected, that Pakistan and Hurriyat leaders be recognized as stakeholders, that the office of the Chief Minister must remain the sole preserve of Kashmir and that delimitation commission be appointed as per the existing law and the PDP negotiators made the BJP negotiators to fall in line.
The PDP also wanted its say in the agenda of alliance as far as its stand on Army and AFSPA was concerned, it ensured that with the BJP endorsing the point of view of the PDP. The PDP wanted the BJP to commit that New Delhi will resolve Kashmir as per the Vajpayee formula, the BJP accepted that. And remember, even the Kashmiri separatists and parties like the NC wanted the Vajpayee doctrine to be adopted as a mean to achieve the end.
The truth, in short, is that the PDP leadership got from New Delhi something no other party in Kashmir could even imagine. Undoubtedly, the ongoing vilification campaign in Kashmir against the PDP and the Chief Minister is ill-conceived and motivated. Mufti Sayeed is not Farooq Abdullah or Omar Abdullah who, like the BJP, would throw ideology into a dustbin for the sake of power. Mufti Sayeed is Mufti Sayeed who have been consistent in his approach whether in power or out of power. |
