JAMMU, July 12: The situation in Kashmir is alarming and critical. The lawful killing of Hizb commander Burhan Wani last Friday is being used by the anti-India forces in the Valley to further vitiate the atmosphere. All the separatists have joined hands against India and threatened that Kashmir would witness more violence in case New Delhi failed to "declare J&K a disputed region" and resolved the Kashmir issue "as per the aspirations of Kashmiri Muslims".
The so-called mainstream parties, including the defeated NC, have also taken the plunge to fish in the troubled waters, notwithstanding Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh's telephonic conversation with them and his appeal to all that all must join hands to help restore peace in the Valley. Omar Abdullah has, contrarily, asked Rajnath Singh to stop killing the protestors, thus virtually asking New Delhi to allow the stone-pelters to stone and kill the security forces.
Sadly, an influential section of Delhi-based media, both print and electronic, has also been playing a negative role and reporting the killing of Burhan in a manner that further stokes fire in the Valley. Pro-separatist and biased Amnesty International too have issued a nasty statement and asked the authorities not to use excessive force against the protestors in Kashmir. Pakistan has also not lagged behind. Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif has described slain Burhan Wani as a Kashmir's hero. Lashkar chief Hafiz Saeed and Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin have asked Pakistan to take advantage of the situation as it prevails in Kashmir. They have seen in the killing of Burhan an opportunity to achieve their sinister anti-India goal.
The fact of the matter is that all the pro-separatist forces have come on one platform with a view to putting pressure on Delhi to get some major political concession that weakens the New Delhi's age-old stand on J&K. Unfortunately, the response of Jammu and Ladakh to the developing situation in the Valley has been disappointing. No leader worth his/her name in Jammu or Ladakh has expressed any view on the prevailing situation in the Valley, as if what has been happening there is a minor issue, which it is not.
They should have reacted in one voice considering the fact that the anti-India forces in the Valley, Pakistan and Delhi had vouched for a solution that was acceptable to Kashmiri Muslims. Their intervention had become imperative considering the fact that if they and the people of Jammu and Ladakh remained dormant and devoid of any political activity any longer Jammu and Ladakh would get submerged under the rising tide of Kashmiri Muslim sub-nationalism.
Everything is not lost. There is still time for Jammu leaders, whosoever they are and in which party they are, to get united in the larger interest of Jammu and Ladakh and tell New Delhi that they will not accept any solution that was not acceptable to Jammu and Ladakh. There is no other option available to them. It's question of survival and existence of Jammu and Ladakh and at least five million Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs. |
