Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 22. The Pakistan High Commissioner has yet again invited Kashmiri separatist leaders for an iftaar dinner in New Delhi on June 25. Those invited for the dinner, which is being hosted by Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit, include APHC-M chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Pakistani agent and Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Geelani and former Hurriyat chief Abdul Gani Bhat - all Kashmiri speaking ethnic Sunnis.
Pakistan High Commissioner Basit may say that he simply invited the Kashmiri separatists for iftaar dinner, but the fact of the matter is that he would meet with seditionists, discuss with them the current situation in Kashmir and find out means and ways calculated to further step up subversive activities in the Valley so that Pakistan was able to push forward its break-India sinister agenda.
It would be - apart from an "Iftaar dinner" - a bilateral meeting between anti-India elements in Kashmir and hostile Pakistan. The Kashmiri separatists will get definite directions from the Pakistan High Commission aimed at further spoiling the situation in the Valley. Not just this, they would avail the opportunity to interact with New Delhi-based media and air anti-India views, which could be broadcasted live like before.
Now that the date for the "Iftaar dinner" has been finalized and there are reports that not just three but several other separatists would assemble in the premises of Pakistan High Commission on June 25, it is time for Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj to react and tell Pakistan High Commissioner that he must cancel the meeting.
Only three days ago, she had told media in New Delhi that talks and terror couldn't go hand-in-hand and that there was no question of involvement of any third country or third party in the dialogue process. She has to hold her ground firmly and send a strong signal to Pakistan that New Delhi meant business and that it didn't consider Kashmiri separatists a factor in the state's political situation of a third party to the so-called Kashmir issue. If the scheduled meeting between Basit and Kashmiri separatists did take place, it would be construed by all in the country that she was not committed to what she had said. The ball is in her court.
