Will BJP declassify files relating to death of Mookerjee?

Early Times Report
JAMMU, Apr 11: The J&K BJP executive committee met at Jammu for two days on April 2 and 3. It adopted a number of resolutions. It didn't release the adopted resolutions to the press either on the last day of the meeting, its usual practice, or even thereafter. It was only on April 9 that the BJP issued a lengthy statement, which dealt more with the so-called achievements of PM Narendra Modi than the political resolutions it purportedly adopted.
It was only at the end of the lengthy statement that it said that the party adopted a number of resolutions. One of the resolutions, it said, was on the founder of Jana Sangh, Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, who sacrificed his life in Kashmir on June 23, 1953 to ensure integration of J&K with India. "The working committee also resolved to ask the State Government to declassify all files and correspondence related to the death of their founder President Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee," the statement said and that's all.
Will the BJP declassify files or throw open for public scrutiny correspondence relating to death of Mookerjee? The answer seems to be a big no. For, a party that had been murdering, lynching, abusing and ridiculing Mookerjee and his ideology as well as the supreme sacrifices that he made for the national cause in Kashmir after breaking the obnoxious permit system ever since Vajpayee came into power just can't afford to annoy Kashmiri leadership, which is responsible for the death of Mookerjee.
For, a party that dropped from its agenda its age-old demand seeking abrogation of Article 370 and a party that gave a categorical commitment to the Kashmiri party that it will not only remain committed to the existing politico-constitutional status of J&K but also gave a solemn commitment to it that it will go beyond Article 370 can't rake up issue that has the potential of annoying its Kashmiri ally.
For, a party that threw its election manifesto and Vision document in dustbin just for the sake of a few Ministerial berths and cars fitted with national flag and red flag can't afford to create a situation that embitters relations with the Kashmiri leadership.
But more than that, a party that followed in the footsteps of the same NC which is being held responsible for death of Mookerjee in mysterious circumstances and refused permission to actor Anupem Kher and film producer Ashok Pandit and 150 other nationalists drawn from 12 States of the Union to meet with the non-local agitating students of NIT Srinagar, can't ask its own Government to declassify files and correspondence relating to the death of Mookerjee.
J&K is not West Bengal where in order to woo the Bengali electorate the BJP would declassify certain files concerning Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. It is J&K where it has to cultivate those who were, and are, opposed to what Mookerjee stood for as far as the political status of J&K vis-a-vis India and political status of Jammu and Ladakh vis-a-vis Kashmir is concerned.
Forget that the BJP will classify the files relating to the death of Mookerjee. The BJP's resolution on the issue was nothing more than another exercise in self-deception on its part. The people of Jammu know it; the people of Ladakh know it; the people of Kashmir know it and the nation as a whole also knows it.
