| Enemy of pro-India parties accuses them of causing eco-crisis | | Mirwaiz's double-speak | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 5: Self-styled chairman of APHC(M) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has, it seems, lost his balance of mind. How else would one describe his Monday statement that the pro-India parties were responsible for the economic crisis in the state?
"The policies of pro-India parties" over the years were "responsible for the economic crisis" of Jammu and Kashmir," he said while reacting to CM Mehbooba Mufti's Saturday J&K Legislative Council statement that it was the Kashmiri separatists who had caused economic instability in the state through their shutdown calls.
"The statement made by Mehbooba (in the Legislative Council on July 2) was meant to cover the heinous crimes perpetrated by (pro-India parties) by selling out the interests of the people to New Delhi," he, in fact, said, adding that "the reality was that Jammu and Kashmir was facing economic predicament due to the illegal occupation and pillaging of its abundant natural resources by the Government of India, for which only pro-India parties were responsible".
"The loot of Jammu and Kashmir's resources had brought economic instability to the state which was a deliberate ploy to make Kashmiris dependent and the only people who were deriving benefits from it were state's pro-India politicians," Mirwaiz further said.
The whole statement of Mirwaiz was contradictory in nature and implications, which showed he has lost his way and has no point to make. It is not the pro-India parties which are responsible for the economic mess or crisis in the state; it is the Kashmiri separatists and Kashmiri parties like the NC, which are squarely responsible for the state's bad economic health.
It is the separatists and the parties like the NC and the Kashmir-based Congress leadership that have always opposed the non-state subjects to invest in the state and set up industries there. Take, for example the senseless opposition of all the Kashmiri political parties, all the separatists and all the civil society groups in Kashmir to the "new industrial policy". All joined hands against the new policy saying the new industrial policy, if adopted and implemented, would erode the state's special status and enable the non-state subjects to set up industrial units. It happened only during the just-concluded budget session of the state legislature.
It is not just their opposition to the new industrial policy that could be considered just one reason for the economic crisis in the state. They in one voice oppose everything step and every move that is aimed at integrating J&K into India financially. In fact, they oppose all those laws which are beneficial for the people of the state and for the industrial growth in the state or for economic activities. They describe these laws as symbols of Indian imperialism.
The problem of the state government is that it amends its own policies under pressure from the Kashmiri parties and Kashmiri separatists as it happened only recently in the case of the new industrial policy. The situation will not improve, in fact, it would worsen in case they continued to adopt negative attitude towards everything Indian. So, it's no use beating about the bush.
The Kashmiri leadership must imitate Jammu and its people, who, unlike them, hail evetything India considering the fact that they cannot live in isolation. |
