Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 25: Reacting to Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman's statement in Jammu that people of Jammu and Kashmir had no role to play in the resolution of Kashmir issue, self-styled chairman of APHC-M Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has said the Minister was "ignorant of the subject" and added "this matter involved political future and aspirations of the people which could not be taken for granted".
Mirwaiz also urged the BJP leadership to shun what he called its "ostrich-like attitude" and adopt a realistic approach to initiate a meaningful dialogue to resolve the Kashmir dispute. He added that the "assertions of saffron party leaders about keeping the people of Kashmir out from the process of resolution of the Kashmir issue was not going to change political and historical importance or the disputed nature of Kashmir".
Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman was right when she ruled any possibility of Hurriyat's involvement in the dialogue over Jammu and Kashmir. Similarly, the reaction of Mirwaiz was on expected lines. He and others of his ilk have been saying so since years and they will not deviate from the path they have been treading at the behest of their mentor, Pakistan. They want to fulfill their communal urge by imposing their communal will on the unwilling people of Jammu and Ladakh and other nationalist minorities in the state and converting the state into a full-fledged theological state.
These separatists have been consistently saying that they and Pakistan are also stakeholders in the state and there should be tripartite talks between India, Pakistan and Hurriyat leadership. There is the need for Kashmir-New Delhi axis, Kashmir-Pakistan-axis and New Delhi-Islamabad-axis, they have been saying, adding that any attempt on the part of New Delhi to ignore Pakistan and Kashmiri separatists will be resisted by them.
Now that it is clear that Mirwaiz and others of his ilk in Kashmir will not change themselves, it is time for New Delhi to hold referendum across the nation to ascertain if it wants Jammu and Kashmir to remain part of India or if they want another communal partition of the country like the Congress, the Muslim League and the British Government did in 1947 to create Pakistan out of India and cause bloodshed and displacement of population on an unprecedented scale.
Referendum in the whole of the country is imperative to establish that the whole of Indian nation is the only stakeholder in Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan and Hurriyat leadership have no locus standi in the state. The Government of India must clinch the issue. It is already too late.
Did not Britain the other day hold referendum to ascertain the views of the Britons on the 43-year-old European Union (EU). The Britons exercise one of the two offered choices and they voted against the EU. New Delhi should also hold referendum and the two options should be: Nation for Jammu and Kashmir and Nation doesn't want Jammu and Kashmir to remain part of India.
