| 1000 non-local NIT students quit Kashmir, another 200 ready to follow | | BJP Raj and persecution of nationalists | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 12: The 2014 general elections gave a massive mandate to the BJP-led NDA under the leadership of the then Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. The BJP on its own won 282 seats and all those who won on the BJP tickets were Hindus. The BJP's allies won 54 seats. 51 winners out of 54 were again Hindus and the remaining three were Sikhs.
No party or formation had scored such a victory before 2014. Nor is there the possibility of any political party or a coalition putting up such a show. The mandate was for national security, people-centric social, economic and political policies and against the "secularists' weak foreign policy as well as Kashmir policy". Narendra Modi as Prime Ministerial candidate had promised moon to everyone and had again and again gave the people of the country in general and those of J&K in particular to understand that the vote for the BJP would be a vote for him and for pro-active foreign policy vis-a-vis Pakistan and Kashmiri secessionists.
However, what the BJP-led NDA Government did after coming into power was just the negation of what Narendra Modi had promised. As a result, the situation worsened in Kashmir with each passing day. The situation climaxed to the point that waving of Pakistani and ISIS flags and organizing anti-India activities, including protests and attacks on the State police, CRPF and the Army every Friday, became a routine activity.
As if all this was not enough to cause concern to the worried nation, anti-nationals in and outside the NIT Srinagar created a situation that resulted in injuries to almost one hundred non-local students. Some of them suffered grievous injuries. Their only fault was that they raised Bharat Mata Ki Jai slogans and carried national flag.
It was hoped that the BJP Government would react and act to instill confidence among the brutalized non-local students, but it was not to be. Instead, the students were harassed, threatened and frightened by the authorities and the police. Their demands, including the shifting of NIT out of the Valley, were rejected and they were told that "their sit-in and marches will have no impact on the authorities, including the three-member team which the HRD Ministry had sent to the NIT for fact finding".
Convinced that the BJP Government will not take care of them or consider their demands, 1000 of them quit the Valley on Sunday and reports suggest that "all others are also likely to follow them". They are so frightened that they boycotted the exam that was held on Monday.
It was not for all this that the BJP was given a massive mandate. Indeed, the BJP has failed the nation and the country. The fact that the process of exodus from NIT has commenced only speaks for itself and indicates the extent to which the BJP has compromised its ideology for power in the State. The fact of the matter is that the BJP has become an object of contempt and ridicule across the nation. |
